Binlinex.com is Almost Certainly a Scam

6 Feb

If you’re in the crypto space and on TikTok regularly, you may have seen these posts with coupon codes offering free Bitcoin simply for signing up.

As you can see in the TikTok below it shows someone entering a promo code into Binlinex.com and then being rewarded 0.28 BTC which is roughly $8500 CAD. Now ask yourself does this sound too goog to be true? That’s because it is!

I went ahead and signed up so you don’t have to. See below for more.

I created an account, and claimed several of the promo codes.

As you can see from my wallet, I have almost $70K in bitcoin from these promo codes. Now I should be able to withdraw these funds right? Wrong! In order to “Verify” my account, I am required to provide a deposit of nearly $500 in bitcoin. Nothing could possibly go wrong sending $500 in untraceable funds to a new web site that popped up on TikTok today right?

This led me to have a deeper look at this service and domain name.

The domain was registered on February 4th of 2023, yet their web site says they have been in business since 2018?

 

This domain is registered and owned by someone with a Russian email address and a New Jersey address for a company that claims to be based in Australia. Enough red flags for you?

This is almost certainly a SCAM and you should keep your money away from Binlinex.com at all costs. There’s no way any legitimate crypto exchange is giving away $70K to a new user just for depositing $500.

Stay safe out there you guys! There’s scammers everywhere!

This is What 37 Looks Like

6 Apr

April 3rd 2022 was my 37th birthday and I celebrated with my family not only being a year older, but also a year wiser.

Life has been interesting since the start of the pandemic to today. A lot of things have changed, but more importantly, I am starting to reach some of my adult goals.

Mentally I’ve established a few goals for myself that I have never put on paper or written them down anywhere. I figured with my birthday having just passed, I should write them down and see how far I’ve come in life. There’s a few I’ve managed to cross off the list, and others that are still in the works, so here we go:

  • Fall in love and get married.
  • Have a couple of kids and raise them with my wife.
  • Get into a career that I am happy with.
  • Make some money and help people.
  • $100K in savings before 40.
  • 100 Pounds lost this year.
  • Quit Smoking for Good.
  • Form better eating habits.

There are a few items above that are still a work in progess however overall, I am quite happy with how far I’ve come!

Looking Ahead to 2022

22 Dec

Let’s face it….. 2021 well… in a word…. SUCKED!

COVID-19 maintaned its stranglehold on our country and it seems like no matter what we do, we can’t get out of this pandemic quite yet.

People are suffering immense losses from businesses, to friends and family. It’s truly tragic to witness.

I personally have been fortunate enough that myself and my family all live under one roof with the exception of my younger brother. Thanks to technology, I have been able to maintain contact with him as well as friends that are all over the country and overseas.

For those of you who can’t see friends and family during the holidays I really feel for you. Those of you who can be with friends and family during the holidays, cherish the time you have. There are a lot of people who can’t.

To those of you who are struggling and need someone to talk to, please reach out. I am happy to hear you out and offer some advice, or just an ear to hear your story and offer some kind encouragement to stay here. You are loved, you are appreciated, and god damn it, you are worth it.

There’s a few things that I would like to do in 2022 and try my hand at.

My kids have recently expressed interest in making video content on YouTube and sharing their gaming experiences on their ipads. Personally this is something I have thought about doing for quite a while. I’ve tried my hand at streaming on Twitch, as well as making a YouTube video here and there. Ideally I would like to get more consistent and experienced with the tools such as Adobe Premiere, OBS Studio, green screens, and everything else that goes along with video production. In 2022, no more excuses. I have the tech, I have the patience, and everything I need to know can be learned. So in 2022 I want to put together a consistent content schedule, and keep things up to date while improving my skill set when it comes to creative work. If you have any great tips or tutorials, I would love for you to leave me a comment and let me know.

In 2022 I’d also get back to a regular schedule of gaming. Whether it’s playing a game with my kids, or Fornite or Counter-Strike, or something on my Nintendo switch. I’d like to get back to spending more time on it like I used to as a kid / teenager. I made a lot of amazing friends, and relationships from the games I played back then and would like to experience that some more in 2022.

The last thing I would like to do a lot more of in 2022 is take more time for my family. My mother, my brothers, my wife, my kids, and friends that are like family. I want to spend more time with them and less time focused on work.

Hopefully 2022 will be less of a disaster than 2021 has proven to be, and I am looking forward to seeing you all in a better place next year.
