How To Remove BITCOIN DONATE scam

BITCOIN DONATE scam PUP: Easy Delete Guide

BITCOIN DONATE scam is triggered by con artists in order to generate revenues from novice users. Such scams are promoted on deceptive websites claiming that if users participate in the “MUTUAL ASSISTANCE FUND”/ “Bitcoin Help” project, they will obtain cryptocurrency. They will supposedly receive donations from other contributors, but they will also have to transfer 0.001 BTC (Bitcoin cryptocurrency) to the other participating users. Nonetheless, people who contribute in such schemes don’t receive anything and end up with losing the donated money. This scheme is disguised as a project founded by Elon Musk. We expressly emphasize that the entrepreneur has no relation with the scam, so avoid being tricked into it.

More About BITCOIN DONATE scam:

The BITCOIN DONATE scam has been found being promoted through deceptive emails. These emails don’t even include detailed text pushing the scheme, and some are totally blank. They contain an HTML file which upon clicked, reroutes to the initial scam site. According to the portal, it’s the page of a “Mutual aid fund” founded by Elon Musk. Users who take part in it will allegedly obtain from 0.001 to 0.055 BTC. They are redirected to a different site through this webpage where the “BITCOIN DONATE scam” is run.

On the website, users are requested to provide their name, cryptowallet address, and photo (optional) in order to receive donations (0.001 BTC each) from the first 25-100 contributors of the project. Following these instructions, users are rerouted through multiple sites, each representing a participant who has donated to their cryptowallet. Once donations number reaches the maximum figure, participants are instructed to donate 0.001 BTC to another user. Nevertheless, all the received donations are fake, so when they try to donate in return, they only lose the transferred money.

So, if you trust BITCOIN DONATE scam, you will experience a monetary loss. People hardly ever visit deceptive sites which promote such scams with intent. Quite often, they are redirected to them due to adware infection running inside their computers. This kind of potentially unwanted program silently intrudes the targeted devices and then starts displaying intrusive advertisements which severely diminish online experience. These ads come with redirecting ability and once clicked, take victims to several phishing, scams, malware-laden, and other deceptive portals.

PUPs are capable of tracking and recording users’ data such as browsing history, IP addresses, geolocations, and even personal info like credit card numbers. These details are then shared with third-parties and utilized for customizing ads, making fraudulent transactions, and so forth. Hence, a quick BITCOIN DONATE scam PUP removal is strongly required.

PUPs Spread Through Software Bundling:

Adware and other potentially unwanted programs are mostly distributed together with freeware and shareware. This illusive marketing technique of pre-packing regular software with unwanted or malicious additions is known as “software bundling”. These bundles are promoted on third-party sites and get installed when users pick the Quick or Standard installation settings. These configuration wizards usually don’t reveal the contents added to the bundle, so PUPs easily manage to find their place into the machine along with the main application.

Software should be downloaded from official or verified sources only. Unreliable sources, e.g., unofficial and freeware sites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, etc. should not be used. It is expressly suggested reading terms, exploring possible options, picking the “Custom/Advanced” settings to opt-out all unnecessary components from the list and choose only the required one. But at the moment, you must remove BITCOIN DONATE scam PUP from the machine without wasting any time.
