  • Since being left paralysed in 2009, whilst working on the Harry Potter film franchise as Daniel Radcliffe’s stunt double, David Holmes has vowed ‘pain is inevitable but suffering is a choice’. However, after falling victim to sophisticated scammers last week, and being scammed out of tens of thousands of pounds - the former stuntman has been left feeling ‘shame, regret, pain and loss’. Convinced that he’d never be a victim, David joins Ben and Cat to issue a stark warning as he reveals how deceptive and clever these new age of criminals really are.

      I work for a credit facility and @beckscald3855 you are incorrect.
      Your bank can and will call you if they recognise your account is compromised and requires action to protect it.
      However, your bank/credit facility will never EVER ask for your PIN or your pass code sent to your phone.
      If you receive a call from your bank/credit facility they will absolutely be happy to end the call and for you to call them on the number printed on your card.

      @hextree 22 дня назад +1

      It's only 'traceable' as far as some hash address is sending x amount to some other hash address. There's no actual name or details attached to the transaction. If you can follow the chain back to some known address for an exchange that performs KYC then yes you could request the customer data from the company. However many people who don't want to be traced will just buy and sell p2p.

      @Trance9 22 дня назад +1

      @@hextree p2p, does that mean between 2 cold wallets? Then I guess as long as you don't ever use an exchange, or buy from store that needs kyc with the bitcoin payment you could never be traced, but you would just have to keep using p2p with other criminals kind of on the black market for favours, black market items, etc? Cause youd never be able to convert it into cash I guess using banks etc.

    • @hextree
      @hextree 21 день назад +1

      @@Trance9 yes, that's correct. Though p2p is pretty easy, and is safer than exchanges since you lose all your money if the exchange gets hacked. If you are in countries with a crypto community, you aren't necessarily trading with other 'criminals', it's just like selling on ebay or craiglist etc. Before exchanges were a thing, it used to be the only way people traded.
