Be careful of the links you follow+ Example of scam ICO
« on: August 06, 2019, 08:38:08 PM »
Today I received a message from a random newbie trying to trick users into installing and using some sort of wallet so they can steal your funds.

Here is the message

✅ What is AURIGA MOBILE APP?
➡️ AURIGA MOBILE APP is a messaging app with a focus on Speed and Security, it's Super-fast, Simple, and Free
😱😱😱

✅ Who is it for?
➡️ Everyone who wants speed and reliable messages.

✅ Link to download Auriga Mobile App
https://aurigaworld.io/application/Android-Beta.apk DO NOT CLICK
Link web: https://aurigaworld.io/ DO NOT CLICK
✅How is AURIGA MOBILE APP different from TELEGRAM?

➡️ Auriga is based on decentralized Blockchain and other advanced technologies, it offers the most effective security available to users.

🤐🤐 Auriga Mobile App provides Security Mode for sensitive information so that if you have reasons to worry about your personal security, Auriga is the best choice!

🤑🔄Moreover, you can directly make transaction right on your chat app.

✅ Now try it!

I visited this website and it is an HYIP website.

"INVESTMENT PACKAGE   500-3000 ARA   500-10.000 ARA   500-50.000 ARA
Capital Back   After 7 DAYS   After 30 DAYS   After 90 DAYS
Interest (accrued daily)   Up to 1%   Up to 1.2%   Up to 1.5%
Paid in   USD
Converted to   BTC – ETH –LTC – XRP – DASH - ARA
The purpose of the partnership program is to attract large capital investors to invest and collect interest. Investment called then will be invested in technology, equipment upgrades, and application quality improvement."


Please do not fall for this sort of thing. They claim they will have an exchange after their ICO. These are the kind of scams people fall for when they really should be investing in genuine hard-working people trying to create something.

If you are unsure if something is a scam or not just leave the links here and I can give you an educated opinion. DO NOT TAKE THIS AS INVESTMENT ADVICE. I will merely assess the risk ratio.

You have not provided any proof that the Auriga mobile app is indeed malicious but I agree that the investment model is scammy. When you see the lines "Capital Back  After 7 DAYS   After 30 DAYS   After 90 DAYS", better stay away. One bitconnect is enough.

Appreciate the warning though.



Can you also put a warning besides the website and download link like "do not click"?

I don’t click on suspicious links at all, because now you can not only get the virus on your computer, but also lose all your data.  Including passwords from wallets and accounts.

No the app doesn't need to be malicious when the while thing is a ponzi to begin with. They want the wallet to be working. I think it is to try to lure people in with a false sense of security.

This is very very innovative information for me. Those we are working in crypto world daily receiving many mails or messages but we can not scrutinize such messages that which is good or bad. But this post helps me to detect them.

Real team,real projects can be see if the team attempt one of the crypto event something like that. Has a working product which is more good and better not doing ICOs cause it old way to attract money from investors better doing IEOs like in Binance which has a high rate to succeed. A good white paper and active team is a worth project to invests just what i do. This just my opinion btw nothing else.
Eat,sleep and working!

That's so apt. Everyone needs to understand this.

I agree with your statement.We should avoid posting our personal details on unsecured links as these links can use our personal data for any malicious activity and can sell our data to others too.
