Beware of Scams and Frauds

Hello everyone.

The following table lists several potential scams that are targeting Bitcoin Gold users, some falsely claiming to be official BTG services.

As the developers of the open source Bitcoin Gold project,  we want to remind everyone of the importance of never revealing your private keys, especially on an unknown website. Any website that asks you to enter your private key should automatically be assumed to be a scam that will steal your coins.

We cannot possibly list all scams and frauds as we become aware of them. The crypto/financial sector is a target for fraudsters because of the value; conventional banking and modern crypto are no different in that regard. Both are inherently risky and constantly targeted for fraud by malicious third parties. No list of frauds can ever be considered comprehensive.

Please be careful.
