So, yesterday I was browsing around different crypto related websites and I saw an add for "earning crypto". lol.

Anyway, I don't know why I clicked on it - probably wanted to see if they will come up with something new. So I was taken to this website:

The steps to start earning are super simple. Literalty:

1) create wallet.

2) insert your wallet(they don't ask any of your personal data) for the currency you want to mine.

3) enjoy earning.

So, because I know how this usually ends, but wanted to see exactly how this would go, I took my ETH wallet and put it in the website so they delegate 10 Khz of speed to mine for me. If someone doesn't know, 100 Khz is the speed that a small farm with few hundreds of high end video cards can achieve. LOLZ. Anyway, after I entered my address I immediately started seeing ETH accumulating. Anyway, the website claims that the minimum payout is 0.1 ETH, which is supposed to be generated in half a day. So I let it "mine" and went away. Decided to check back today what's going on. So I found this:

Anyway, I decided to go and withdraw right away. After all those are free money :) Imagine my "surprise" when I saw this message:

"Sorry! To be able withdraw ETH earned by free 100 MHS you need to make deposit at least of 0.1 ETH."

It's a scam, which I knew from the beginning and wanted to show the people with less experience here that they should not fall to something like that. It's a classic scheme - a website is offering "free" mining speed, but then you can withdraw only after you make a deposit.

Avoid at all cost guys.
