There is a scam happening right now. Do not visit eth-bit.com. A random woman reached out to me on Whatsapp claiming to be from Hong Kong.
It started with her saying she had the wrong number while looking for someone named James. Then she said
“I’m really sorry, I have many business partners in the US, maybe my assistant wrote the wrong number, please forgive me” (I got this message from someone else word for word)
She sent me lots of pictures and asked me to contact her on a personal number. Curious, I decided to play along.
For three days, she bombarded me with affection. She claimed to be 38 and said she was running a jewelry business in Miami.
Every morning, she sent a good morning message, and at night, a good night message. She also shared pictures of her meals, including one with a cake and another showing it half-eaten.
She discussed inflation and the economy while sharing photos of her travels in Tunisia and Hong Kong.
When I did a reverse image search, nothing came up. The metadata and EXIF data were removed from images and videos, except for one photo of Hong Kong taken on a specific date.
Out of curiosity, I kept engaging with her.
She mentioned that the US dollar is going to drop and said she was involved in foreign exchange. She even sent me a video of her playing golf and showed photos from a school where she donated $100,000. She claimed to earn $333,000 a year from forex trading.
I noticed she used Google Translate to communicate… which makes her grammar seem better.
She began showing me screenshots of her crypto portfolio, claiming to mine ETH 2.0 without any machines.
I mentioned it’s proof of stake.
One interesting thing is when I mentioned proof of stake she replied with proof of equity.
She claimed to make $7,000 a day in USDT and showed me a screenshot from eth-bit.com.
I sent her fake screenshots saying I had $500,000 in a wallet. She suggested I go to eth-bit.com to earn a daily ROI of 2.4% for keeping USDT in the wallet. I looked at the contract on etherscan.io.
The contract is linked to an address

People are warning about eth-bit.com. They say that approving the contract allows them to access your USDT. If you store USDT in your wallet, they can take it and will eventually withdraw it.
I told her I would invest $5,000 at first and then see returns for a week before putting in $100,000. 2.4k daily is hard to resist!
I’m planning to keep her interested, maybe get her to click on a link or something.
Let’s also see what we can find out from that site before I report it.
