Scam Protection & Personal Security

Scam Protection, Lost Bitcoin & Personal Security.

You should be buying Bitcoin for your own use and not be under any pressure from a third party

If you send cryptocurrency to another person or business it may be unrecoverable.

Refund is not possible after coins are sent to a blockchain wallet you do not control. Do not proceed if you see any of these red flags:

• Someone is claiming funds are held on your behalf and you need to send some crypto to release the funds
• Someone is promising you too good of a deal or huge returns on investments
• Someone is controlling your device or guiding you through the process

If you are unsure whether or not you are a potential scam victim – let us know immediately.

Scam alerts

1. Never provide your login details, phone number, email address, or documents to anybody who could act on your behalf in order to create or on-board onto our platform. Please limit all official communication with us through online chat on the platform or [email protected] email our live-agents by clicking on the icons on our website.

2. Be aware of any person randomly contacting you: any messages from people on WhatsApp, Telegram or other social media. We don’t have any brokers or intermediaries who can help you to open an account with us. Only you can open an  account on BitcoinPoint.

3. Ignore all paper letters or private messages from people with the BitcoinPoint or ‘BCP’ logo on Telegram, WhatsApp or etc. We would never send direct messages to our clients first on these apps. If you get a message or a letter from someone claiming to be from BitcoinPoint, or BCP Technologies Ltd please confirm first with any of our official telegram channels listed in the next point or any of our support agents at [email protected]  which could write back from [email protected]

4. Stay away from all channels, groups and accounts with BitcoinPoint logos and information about crypto. If you find something suspicious, please report it immediately as a fake account. We use only official name and links such as:

https://www.facebook.com/BitcoinPointUK – official Facebook page

https://www.instagram.com/bitcoinpoint_/   – official Instagram account

https://www.linkedin.com/company/bitcoinpoint/  – official LinkedIn account

5. Don’t participate in any airdrops or giveaways from BitcoinPoint. Scammers typically ask you to send them some tokens and they promise to send you back twice as much. This is 100% a scam. Don’t believe it. We never had and never will have any airdrop on the platform.
6. Be very careful of who you trust on the internet. There are many scam schemes and social engineering approaches. If you are not sure about          something, please ask us via online chat or email to [email protected] or check the facts with us on Telegram.
