It is unfortunate for the scammer to meet the correct e-money expert and the very happy ending for the fraudster.
Ben Perrin is a cryptocurrency expert and owner of a bitcoin research tutorial on YouTube. Just look at the YouTube channel and your other social networking sites. Just watch Ben's video for 10 seconds, you'll see how much he has knowledge of electronic currencies. And taking 30 seconds to see the entire video catalog Ben had uploaded, you will see that he has released several videos about the bitcoin scam. So it is surprising that there is a bitcoin scamster seeking to deceive Ben through an Instagram account. He even sent this guy a bit of his own bitcoin to increase this guy's trust!
This rare incident was posted by Ben on his blog on Monday. In the conversation between him and the scammer, Ben overturned the flag and persuaded the scammer to send me 50 USD - this money was transferred to Ben charity.
"I woke up that morning and found a message from someone who was clearly a fraud, promising to bring me the fortune if I gave him some bitcoins," Ben wrote. "Instead of telling this guy to forget it, I use Photoshop, find some random transactions, and seduce this guy to teach him a lesson."
The scammer told Ben that it would help his bitcoin investment double in value within 24 hours (pictured above). Ben pretended to be innocent and was cautious. This guy photoshop a bitcoin wallet report, then asked the scammer to send him some money to try to see if something was wrong.
When the scammer refused, Ben pretended to say that another person named "Stu Reid" contacted him to make a similar invitation. Ben told the scammer that "Stu" sent him a sum of money to make the name believe in absolute trust and decided to send him a similar sum. He hoped to cut the strange Stu's upper hand before he cleaned Ben's bitcoin.
"I say I am honored to invest 20,000 USD with them if they send me 100 USD again, then I will send them back, just to make sure everything is legal" - Ben said .
The scammer finally agreed to send Ben half the recommended amount - $ 50. Receiving the money, Ben revealed that he had cheated the scammer and he brought the money that the scammer had sent to charity.

CBS News confirmed that Ben had received the money and sent it to Bitcoin Venezuela - an organization that uses cryptocurrency to support humanitarian assistance.
Ben said he had no intention of continuing to trick the scammers - he just took this opportunity to teach newcomers to this complicated game how to avoid being cheated.
