My dumbass friend sent 0.5 BTC to a scam giveaway in the name of Gemini exchange.

Lad's depressed. Any way to recover it?

Surprised these scams make enough to cover the cost of the advertising unless maybe they are using stolen cards to pay for the ads. Was pretty obvious the whole you give my $1 and i'll give you $2 scam.

Always wondered if these scams would pay out for really small amounts to tempt a bigger deposit, and if they did would there be a way you could drain the scammers wallet.

Love how YouTube will quickly hit down right wing videos but an obvious scam stream runs for hours uninterrupted.
YouTube wouldn’t have anything to gain by smearing BTC would it?

Literally the "doubling money" scam from Runescape. It's amazing how much that game taught me about market sentiment, trading and scamming.

tell him about how he is a dumb fuck, mention survival of the fittest.

Also keep repeating how nice it would be to hold 0.5 BTC.

Finally tell him it was me.
