Trust issues

BY: @gtg | CREATED: April 20, 2025, 9:59 p.m. | VOTES: 429 | PAYOUT: $129.22 | [ VOTE ]

When most people hear “trust issues”, they think of breakups or drama-filled pop songs. But whenever money is involved (especially in the cryptocurrency realm), there’s a more expensive version: every misplaced trust can empty a wallet. Blockchains promise trustless systems; math instead of middlemen, but the human layer still relies on good faith. Scammers know it, weaponize it, and cash out while we’re still wondering if that link looks odd.
So yes, we really do have “trust issues” because trust is what they count on and what we lose.

Telegram - scammer’s playground

Some people say that less than 1% of random interactions on Telegram are not a scam. Honestly, I think that’s wishful thinking. I’m pretty sure scammers filled out that poll themselves, and even they couldn’t find enough real users to prey on.
Why do we even have that group? Well, for some reason, crypto projects keep defaulting to Telegram as their main channel. Nobody knows why, but here we are. And even if we shut the group down, scammers would keep doing their thing, thrilled to work without volunteer mods slowing them down.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXLgz3wH2n8

I talked to GandaIf recently

So, you know how, with all the scams flooding Telegram groups, there’s this well known rule: mods and admins will never DM you first?
And yet, when someone shows up with a problem, an impostor immediately jumps in, posting in the group, and also reminding everyone that “admins will never DM you first.”
The attacker’s hoping the victim will start the conversation before any real mods or admins have a chance to ban them.
And you can't really tell if it’s too late. The only way to stop it might be... to DM the potential victim.
But admins never DM first, right?
[IMAGE: https://images.hive.blog/DQmQ8qhRL5jKgEF1YdxEb3PwcRDrFKxbpAcYTrtgda8wHdh/spiderman.png]

Anyway, I talked to the attacker for a couple of minutes. Shockingly, he replied. I figured maybe I’d learn something useful about a scam targeting Russian-speaking users. But in this case, the “attacker” turned out to be some tech-illiterate, clueless dude hoping to get lucky.
When caught red-handed, he... asked me to send him tokens.
Of course, after a little talk, he gave up his address and was totally ready to download and run random software if it meant he might get free tokens from me.
So yeah... be careful out there. Because getting fooled by scammers this dumb? That’s the real pain.

Only fools would fall for that (?)

Fools will fall for it, yes, but not only fools. Sometimes the adversary isn’t as dumb as the one I ran into recently. Sometimes someone’s just having a rough day. Maybe they’re distracted, or they miss a tiny detail, like a typo. Because you didn’t. You caught that one earlier, right?
You do know that out of all the lookalikes, there are only two real Gandalfs in that group, right?

Gandalf Gandɑlf Gаndɑlf Gɑndаlf Ganԁalf Ganɗalf
Gаnԁalf Ganԁаlf Gɑnԁalf Ganԁɑlf Gаnԁɑlf Gɑnԁаlf
Gаnɗalf Ganɗаlf Gɑnɗalf Ganɗɑlf Gаnɗɑlf Gɑnɗаlf

Gаnɗɑӏf Gɑnɗаӏf Gаndalf Gandаlf Gɑndalf Gandalf

(It's easier for you to spot homoglyphs here because they are right next to each other)

So why was that scammer trying to be helpful? Easy. He was replying to users who were reporting issues. There's a higher chance that people who don’t fully understand the tech they’re dealing with will fall for scams like this, especially if they’ve already been scammed and are now looking for help.
And if they were fooled once, they’re even more vulnerable. They're stressed. They're hoping someone’s actually going to help this time.
Don’t get me wrong — this isn’t just about Telegram, and it’s not just about random strangers.
Even on a platform like OpenHive.Chat, where users have to authenticate with Hive and use actual Hive usernames (which are limited to alphanumeric characters, making scam tricks harder), you still need to be careful.
If your friend leaks their private posting key, an attacker can message you on their behalf, maybe saying they urgently need to borrow some tokens.

( @victoriabsb spotted a scammer once because she knew I’d never ask for BTC instead of HIVE ;-) )

And while impersonating a mod in a Telegram group might feel like a cryptocurrency-specific scam, it’s really just one flavor of a much bigger problem: identity theft. Same tactics, different masks.
We’ve seen fake founders, fake support agents, fake investors, and yes, even fake celebrities. Some people have been tricked into wiring money or buying plane tickets for scammers posing as actors or pop stars, promising love or a personal visit.

Bold ones are easier to spot

Above images in this article are artificially generated. While they may depict individuals resembling real celebrities, these images are not real photographs and are not endorsed or affiliated with any actual person. They are used exclusively for educational purposes.

Sure, those wild scams sound ridiculous, and they are. Bold ones are maybe easier to spot, but it’s the smaller, quieter scams you need to watch for.
Like someone with a brand-new account and a profile picture of a pretty, half-naked person (who - spoiler alert - doesn’t even exist), posting a sad story about losing everything and needing just a little help.
They get upvotes, sympathy, maybe even transfers.
All based on a fake photo and a story that’s been copy-pasted a hundred times.
Sometimes the scam doesn’t scream. Sometimes it just looks good and sounds sad.

Paranoid?

Do I want you to become paranoid?
No.
But thinking about all this, just a little, could make all the difference.
A bit of healthy skepticism can save the day.

I can see that future times are going to be much more fruitful for scammers. Ai will play a huge and very important role on that. We already seen in Deepfakes, that are almost perfect. One MD that I personally know, that practices acupuncture, was victim of a scheme. A video was made, and used in Facebook were a deepfake of him was telling that most neurological imune diseases could be cured by simply taking a anti-parasite medicine - that OFFCOURSE - could be bought by clicking the link below... No more words are needed to explain, that my friend, even after contacting FB to remove the video, several days passed... and nothing was made!
The ones that know him personally, could distinguish that the words that appear in the video weren't medical portuguese European ones, but portuguese Brazil.
New times are coming. And I'm totally in agree with you, scammers have more instruments.

The good thing is, that on Hive, we don’t have to wait for some corporation to decide if something is a problem. As a community, we can react faster.

@xrayman | April 22, 2025, 9:17 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

Exactly. Power is distributed throughout the network, not centralized. This is one of the great advantages over conventional social networks, which are run on million-dollar advertising budgets.

But who in their right mind is going to believe that a singer, a celebrity or a famous person is going to write asking for money, there is a lot of naivety in this world and that virtual boyfriends as it is fashionable today, to me it seems ridiculous because many times they are scams, you can meet very cool and nice people through the different social networks, but yes or yes you have to go out in person because if not it is a waste of time.

@gtg | April 21, 2025, 10:51 a.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

Yeah, to us it sounds ridiculous, but scammers aren’t targeting people in their best moment. Loneliness, stress, or just wanting to believe… that’s enough sometimes.

On the other hand, we’ve got friends here we haven’t seen for years, or never met at all before, and they’re brave (or crazy) enough to meet up ad-hoc in random places around the world.
The key is focusing on real connections, not fake ones. In person or online, that’s just the medium.

I hate to say it buy I already am paranoid. Do I want to be, no. I've just run into far to many scams here on off Hive that you have to have at minimum some caution. It's sad the world works this way and always has, but a good dose of skepticism when something sounds to good to be true or someone desperately needs help and as you said has a gorgeous profile picture. Classic scams...

@acidyo | April 21, 2025, 12:49 a.m. | Votes: 13 | [ VOTE ]

Worst part is that there's not that much here compared to the rest of crypto, probably due to the marketcap. Twitter for instance has scams literally in most of their ads.

Paranoia isn’t fun, but it’s kind of a survival instinct at this point. Maybe set it to 5% or so ;-)
You shouldn't assume the worst every time, but “too good to be true” usually is.

Would it be wise to say " Hey Gandalf, could you send me 0.001 hive on blockchain and I will verify it by checking on your wallet ? "

@gtg | April 21, 2025, 10:29 a.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

Yes, that’s actually a smart check. Posting key is different from active key required for transfer, so even if leaked or someone just finds the way to bypass chat authentication, it's still not enough to send from my wallet.
Just make sure the transfer really came from gandalf, not gamdalf etc.
Also calling me or messaging via Signal would be kind of a 2FA.

Just yesterday my wife shows me a message on her phone. A random number begins texting her, asking her about her day.

"Hey there.. long time no talk!"
"Remember me? we met at the Supermarket last week"

I tell my wife - "Did you tell him your name?" "tell him your name is Andre (my name)"

"Its a scammer..." I finally say, after she gives me a super confused look.

She puts her phone down, confused, not knowing what to do.

About thirty minutes later her "supermarket friend" starts insulting her, calling her all the names you can think of, and ends his barrage of frustration with: "I'm going to hack you and steal all your money hahahahh"

I told her she has nothing to be worried about- it's just a bluff.

I want to say she would know what to do, even if I wasn't around. But then again, that's only because her Russian lineage makes her suspect her own shadow. But, I'm sure it would have worked on my cousin.

In the future, children will have to be taught to avoid scams, in the same way we teach them how to ride bikes. It will become as common as dried leaves in Autumn.

The scary part, at least for me, is that we now have AI voice cloning. Now, its still not perfect, but we are possibly months away from it being just as good as us.

@acidyo | April 21, 2025, 12:51 a.m. | Votes: 6 | [ VOTE ]

Many of us have our voice out there ready to be downloaded, placed into machine learning or whatnot and used to call our family and friends pretending to be us in random need of money.

And people ask me why I stay anonymous.

Well, my online footprint is far too big to hide. I used to be a working musician, released music and all.

Cat's out of the bag. But your point stands. They could easily make AI clones of me.

There are so many cases of people that send moneu to 'their kids' (which were actually) scammers when they got contacted by a new number via WhatsApp saying: "Hey dad, I have a new number, can I ask you a favour?".

With voice spoofing this will only get worse.
There are known cases of companies that fell victim of this already.
And it will surely be targetted to end users too. I worry most for the kids and elderly in this case.

A way to weapon them against these attacks is to agree about a 'code' only you know. Your loved ones could ask for this code whem they doubt that it is you they are speaking to.

@gtg | April 21, 2025, 11:25 a.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

Voice cloning is already here, and isn't months away… it’s that scammers don’t even need the expensive, high-end models. Free or cheap ones are already “good enough” for most targets, and scammers are not exactly aiming for critical listeners.

A Wake-Up Call: Accountability and Redemption in the Hive Ecosystem

To those who believe their actions on the Hive blockchain go unnoticed, it’s time to confront the truth. The power you think you wield through downvotes, vote farming, and manipulation is an illusion. True strength lies in doing what’s right, not in exploiting systems for personal gain or silencing others out of fear.

1. The Illusion of Power Through Exploitation

If you’re downvoting critics, running coordinated farms, or hoarding influence to control rewards, ask yourself: What does this say about your character? Manipulating Hive’s reward system doesn’t make you powerful—it exposes vulnerabilities. It shows a reliance on unethical tactics to feel significant in a space that was meant to empower everyone equally.

But here’s the reality: these actions won’t bring lasting satisfaction. At night, when you’re alone with your thoughts, do you truly believe what you’re doing is right? Regret has a way of lingering, and no amount of HIVE tokens can silence the voice inside telling you there’s a better path.

2. The Ripple Effect of Your Actions

Your choices don’t just harm Hive—they affect the people around you. Your online friends may follow along now, but loyalty built on shaky foundations crumbles quickly. And what about your family? Do they understand how much energy you pour into behaviors that ultimately hurt others and yourself?

Every action has consequences, and the deeper you dig, the harder it becomes to climb out. You’re not just harming Hive—you’re pulling those close to you into a cycle of negativity and regret. Is it worth it?

3. Change Before It’s Too Late

The Bilpcoin team isn’t here to attack individuals—we’re here to spark change. We’ve seen the evidence, and we know the impact of manipulative practices. But we also believe in redemption. There’s still time to step back, reflect, and choose a different path.

Ask yourself:
- What legacy do you want to leave on Hive?
- How will you feel years from now looking back at how you treated others?
- Wouldn’t it feel better to contribute positively rather than exploit and divide?

Hive deserves better. So do you.

4. Strength Lies in Doing What’s Right

Real power comes from integrity, not manipulation. Instead of focusing on how many tokens you can farm or how many users you can silence, consider how you can add value to the ecosystem. Create meaningful content, support genuine contributors, and advocate for reforms that benefit everyone—not just a select few.

If you continue down your current path, remember this: you are being watched. Many stay silent, but they see everything. Blockchain data doesn’t lie, and accountability always comes knocking—whether today, tomorrow, or years from now.

5. A Final Plea: Fix What Needs Fixing

It’s never too late to change course. Stop the farming, stop the toxicity, and start contributing to Hive in ways that uplift rather than tear down. If you’re struggling with why you’ve chosen this path, take a moment to reflect. Seek help if needed—there’s no shame in admitting you’ve lost your way.

The Hive community is watching, waiting, and hoping for positive change. Will you rise to the occasion, or will you let regret define your journey? The choice is yours.

From the Bilpcoin Team: We’re committed to helping Hive thrive by exposing the truth and fostering transparency. Let’s work together to build a stronger, fairer ecosystem—one where everyone has a chance to succeed.

What will your next move be?

Addressing the Downvote Issue on Hive: It’s Time for Real Change

Marky Mark Stop the manipulation game Lady Zaza Bpc AI Music

https://youtu.be/HpyaT029DRA

Let’s cut through the noise and address one of the most pressing issues holding Hive back from reaching its full potential: abusive downvotes. The Bipcoin team has consistently exposed the systemic problems that stifle growth on this platform, yet little to no action has been taken. If Hive is to thrive, we must confront these challenges head-on instead of engaging in empty discussions that lead nowhere.

Hive cannot grow if nothing changes. How can new users and smaller creators flourish when they are constantly suppressed by those who exploit the system? Many so-called “whales” contribute nothing meaningful to the ecosystem—instead, they focus solely on farming rewards through manipulative tactics like mass self-voting, spam content, or coordinated downvoting campaigns. These actions discourage genuine participation and erode trust within the community.

Blockchain transactions don’t lie. We’ve seen firsthand the shady methods used to game the system—whether it’s creating alt accounts to amplify votes, orchestrating downvote brigades, or hoarding influence without giving back to the network. Why does this behavior continue unchecked? Talk is cheap. Actions speak louder than words, and until concrete steps are taken to address these abuses, Hive will struggle to move forward.

We have repeatedly presented evidence of these practices, not to divide but to demand accountability. The truth is out there for anyone willing to look at the data. Yet, despite our efforts, the cycle persists. Today, we’re asking again: Can we finally talk about the real issues plaguing Hive? And more importantly, can we take decisive action to protect the integrity of this platform?

Do not let bullies destroy what makes Hive special. Abuse of power through downvotes and manipulation harms everyone—creators, curators, and the community as a whole. It’s time to fight back against these toxic practices and create an environment where all voices can be heard and rewarded fairly.

The Bipcoin team remains committed to exposing the truth and advocating for meaningful change. But we can’t do it alone. Together, let’s push for solutions that ensure Hive becomes a place of opportunity, fairness, and growth—for everyone.

Enough talk. Let’s see action.

A Wake-Up Call: Accountability and Redemption in the Hive Ecosystem

To those who believe their actions on the Hive blockchain go unnoticed, it’s time to confront the truth. The power you think you wield through downvotes, vote farming, and manipulation is an illusion. True strength lies in doing what’s right, not in exploiting systems for personal gain or silencing others out of fear.

1. The Illusion of Power Through Exploitation

If you’re downvoting critics, running coordinated farms, or hoarding influence to control rewards, ask yourself: What does this say about your character? Manipulating Hive’s reward system doesn’t make you powerful—it exposes vulnerabilities. It shows a reliance on unethical tactics to feel significant in a space that was meant to empower everyone equally.

But here’s the reality: these actions won’t bring lasting satisfaction. At night, when you’re alone with your thoughts, do you truly believe what you’re doing is right? Regret has a way of lingering, and no amount of HIVE tokens can silence the voice inside telling you there’s a better path.

2. The Ripple Effect of Your Actions

Your choices don’t just harm Hive—they affect the people around you. Your online friends may follow along now, but loyalty built on shaky foundations crumbles quickly. And what about your family? Do they understand how much energy you pour into behaviors that ultimately hurt others and yourself?

Every action has consequences, and the deeper you dig, the harder it becomes to climb out. You’re not just harming Hive—you’re pulling those close to you into a cycle of negativity and regret. Is it worth it?

3. Change Before It’s Too Late

The Bilpcoin team isn’t here to attack individuals—we’re here to spark change. We’ve seen the evidence, and we know the impact of manipulative practices. But we also believe in redemption. There’s still time to step back, reflect, and choose a different path.

Ask yourself:
- What legacy do you want to leave on Hive?
- How will you feel years from now looking back at how you treated others?
- Wouldn’t it feel better to contribute positively rather than exploit and divide?

Hive deserves better. So do you.

4. Strength Lies in Doing What’s Right

Real power comes from integrity, not manipulation. Instead of focusing on how many tokens you can farm or how many users you can silence, consider how you can add value to the ecosystem. Create meaningful content, support genuine contributors, and advocate for reforms that benefit everyone—not just a select few.

If you continue down your current path, remember this: you are being watched. Many stay silent, but they see everything. Blockchain data doesn’t lie, and accountability always comes knocking—whether today, tomorrow, or years from now.

5. A Final Plea: Fix What Needs Fixing

It’s never too late to change course. Stop the farming, stop the toxicity, and start contributing to Hive in ways that uplift rather than tear down. If you’re struggling with why you’ve chosen this path, take a moment to reflect. Seek help if needed—there’s no shame in admitting you’ve lost your way.

The Hive community is watching, waiting, and hoping for positive change. Will you rise to the occasion, or will you let regret define your journey? The choice is yours.

From the Bilpcoin Team: We’re committed to helping Hive thrive by exposing the truth and fostering transparency. Let’s work together to build a stronger, fairer ecosystem—one where everyone has a chance to succeed.

What will your next move be?

Addressing the Downvote Issue on Hive: It’s Time for Real Change

Marky Mark Stop the manipulation game Lady Zaza Bpc AI Music

https://youtu.be/HpyaT029DRA

Let’s cut through the noise and address one of the most pressing issues holding Hive back from reaching its full potential: abusive downvotes. The Bipcoin team has consistently exposed the systemic problems that stifle growth on this platform, yet little to no action has been taken. If Hive is to thrive, we must confront these challenges head-on instead of engaging in empty discussions that lead nowhere.

Hive cannot grow if nothing changes. How can new users and smaller creators flourish when they are constantly suppressed by those who exploit the system? Many so-called “whales” contribute nothing meaningful to the ecosystem—instead, they focus solely on farming rewards through manipulative tactics like mass self-voting, spam content, or coordinated downvoting campaigns. These actions discourage genuine participation and erode trust within the community.

Blockchain transactions don’t lie. We’ve seen firsthand the shady methods used to game the system—whether it’s creating alt accounts to amplify votes, orchestrating downvote brigades, or hoarding influence without giving back to the network. Why does this behavior continue unchecked? Talk is cheap. Actions speak louder than words, and until concrete steps are taken to address these abuses, Hive will struggle to move forward.

We have repeatedly presented evidence of these practices, not to divide but to demand accountability. The truth is out there for anyone willing to look at the data. Yet, despite our efforts, the cycle persists. Today, we’re asking again: Can we finally talk about the real issues plaguing Hive? And more importantly, can we take decisive action to protect the integrity of this platform?

Do not let bullies destroy what makes Hive special. Abuse of power through downvotes and manipulation harms everyone—creators, curators, and the community as a whole. It’s time to fight back against these toxic practices and create an environment where all voices can be heard and rewarded fairly.

The Bipcoin team remains committed to exposing the truth and advocating for meaningful change. But we can’t do it alone. Together, let’s push for solutions that ensure Hive becomes a place of opportunity, fairness, and growth—for everyone.

Enough talk. Let’s see action.

They have all the features scammers love, and just enough anti-scam tools to say they tried. But not enough to actually fix the problem (which is expensive, doh), and definitely not a priority.

I only use Telegram because we have to for Hive stuff; exchanges expect it.

It happens to me from time to time to get a private message from telegram, most of times just starts with an hello and thats it, I'm pretty sure if someone doesn't want to scam, should at least introduce himself and explain why he is contacting you... So in that cases I straight block and delete without even answer, cba deal with that

A scam they do recently is call elder people telling their son or daughter is in need of money because in trouble then play some voice in the background asking for help

Spreading awareness is a way to fight back, I guess. Not my usual post, but the scammer kind of volunteered.

Sometimes it is funny the lengths these scammers are willing to go just for peanuts. I remember an encounter with one promising unimaginable returns of 20x within the space of 24 hours. I just told him to go get it for himself, and if he could, he wouldn't be in my DM.

Speaking about the lengths they are willing to go, there are job interviews that includes video calls...
On the other hand it's not always going just for peanuts.

True and speaking on the job interviews, a friend of mine told me about a job scam where he was sent an employment email requiring him to do certain preliminary courses upon resuming as a UN staff. The scam behind this was when you go ahead to search for the courses, the SEO done on their website will refer you to their website where you have to pay before taking the course, and the worst part the course on their site wasn't accredited.

Scams are everywhere. I frequently get text messages on my phone that a purchase has been made with my credit card, with contact information to verify if I don't recognize the transaction. The thing is that when my bank wants to confirm if a transaction is legit, they let me know which card was used.

Somehow, the scammers know what bank I use, but not much else. I guess they are fishing for information. Just in case I go to my online banking to double-check.

https://ecency.com/hive-188753/@incublus/be-careful-about-scams-dolandiricilara I wrote a post about it a few months ago. It wasn't an admin or anything, but a newcomer to the Hivefest group told me about an investment opportunity. I asked her what she thought about Hive and she said I haven't looked at Hive yet but I will and that's when I realized it was a scam lol.

Telegram is a snake pit, as far as I am concerned. And it doesn't exactly help crypto's credibility that so many projects have such a heavy influence/base there.

I don't use Telegram anymore for the very practical reason that my number was banned somehow... I can only guess that some skunkweed used the number to run some sketchy operation without my even being aware!

I feel you through this post and you are totally right.
Scammers have a way of making you trust them fully before they attack without looking back.
And when one is far gone with their lies, it would be difficult to notice the warning signs even though you doubt some facts.
You are just so into them already.

!HOPEfully, we won't fall victims because it can be traumatising at times.

Trustless systems or human flaws: well- Telegram isn’t just a scammer’s playground- it’s kind of a psychological battleground & The moment you think “I’d never fall for that” is the moment a scammer starts drafting your downfall!.

The worse part? Even “obvious” scams sometimes work! because they’re not targeting your logic- they’re hijacking your humanity. That panicked brother who just lost funds? or even that grandma that wired money to a fake celebrity!? They’re not fools, They’re us on a bad day!.

Telegram’s anonymity might be a gift to grifters!, does this mean we ditch the platform? No, the answer is "skepticism!"- double-tap every DM: check, then check again. If someone you don't know slides into your DMs treat it like "a stranger offering candy in a dark alley & even holding a FREE BTC sign!"

so yes stay paranoid "the healthy kind of cours"', and remember: in crypto, trust is a liability, verify like your wallet’s life depends on it—because it does!

“Be greedy when others are fearful”? Nah, be vigilant when others are blindly trusting!.

Really a very important topic to be alert, difficult not to become paranoid, but it is good to avoid falling into the hands of scammers, thank you @gtg

First thanks for the publication that I was able to reach through @fermionico who made an explanatory video on this issue and recommended reading the publication.

There is some advice I could give about something that seems suspicious to me, I have doubts or I don't know.

The first thing is that when in doubt you should not act but consult the right people.

The second thing is to try to invest time in learning so as not to depend on criteria that may be suspicious.

In these matters one should be as suspicious as possible and, in my case, I do not open the links because my knowledge in these matters is very low.

Thank you very much for the publication.

Happy Thursday.

Cheers and greetings.

The information about the telegram groups is very important and meaningful, scammers active in the groups "admins or mods" should keep an eye on these scammers.
