What can be amazing here is that there can still be victims of this already old way of victimizing people. One, they appeal to newbies to the game so that the victim may not be suspecting of the foul play. Second, there is that shameless appeal to greed -- of what the victim supposedly can get if he is participating in the income or earning program. When the victim is playing along well and will deposit any amount of bitcoin to the wallet that can be the last time he can see his funds. Simple but maybe still working. I am seeing so many posted ads of this nature on Facebook groups. Beware. Caveat emptor!

to be accurate this has nothing to do with mining!
basically the scammer asks you to give him your private keys and then asks you to send coins to those keys, and if you do, the simply steals them. the scammer in this scenario is using combination of greed plus lack of knowledge (or laziness to do research) of the victims. otherwise that excuse they use to get your private keys is very easy to detect, it doesn't matter if they are using mining as an excuse, trading (API keys), doubling bitcoin,....

This kind of scheme had been running for years. If you haven't done your homework before entering the crypto sphere then you would fall for this kind of scam. As an investor you are responsible for your money. You should know that you should never trust your money to any stranger. Only fools would fall for this, no one who has a sane mind would give their privatekey/log-in details to earn money.

I know it has nothing to do with Mining but the conversation itself is initiated luring people saying you can earn btcoins by mining !!

I think people should educate themselves first.

I mean how can anyone be fooled with such a scam after so many years.

I found somebody in chat who deposited .5 BTC in cloud mining because he was promised that he will get 1 BTC after a month.
I do not know, this should be common sense that you should not send your money like this.

Anyway , I have written a post about prevalent crypto scams.

This has been happening for such a long time and it's great to see that people are already aware of this. They're actually targeting beginners and those who would want to start mining, trading and investing. We should get rid of this type of scheme because they would only do things to fool us and to steal our earnings.

Absolutely

I never see someone ask that question to me even in my past when I still using cloud mining
I will always reject that thing if any people want to know my private keys, or login details, or anything personal information of me.
But after I got scam from cloud mining, I don't put my trust to them anymore because to believe the new cloud mining will be difficult to get profit and it's the same as expecting to get a profit from the old cloud mining.
It is better to do other things and don't expect much about cloud mining.
But I admitted that there still any cloud mining that was still running until now and mostly, they are recommended and trustable cloud mining so far.

No offense but who is stupid enough to believe in such a thing? lol
