ABottersDream Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 The title says it all really, I'm wondering if someone sends you BTC can they scam you in anyway? once you see it in your BTC wallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 If they are double spending, yes you can get scammed. Otherwise no, bitcoin wallets have certain wallet codes which are sent to you annon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double spending is as the name suggests: Imagine you have 1 BTC in your wallet. You send 1 BTC to two accounts simultaneously (or consecutively in a short period of time). The blockchain (the ledger that records transactions) will only consider one of those transactions accurate and the other is nullified. As far as I know, double spending isn't an easy thing to do with BTC (but then again I don't know anything really so a second opinion would be useful ).
