I have found that in recent time btc phone scam has been increased a lot. Scams call people and pursue people to pay taxes and bills by btc or any altercoins. Even some asks to invest in fake coin also. Mainly the scam group target people over phone.
Has it been happened with anyone??
Never heard of it, but it looks strange to me. People are normally very suspicious about crypto, so I wonder how they target their victims. If they call someone that doesn't know what crypto is they wont really be able to do anything. If they target someone that knows what crypto is but hasn't invested yet, it's probably because it's a septic, so I don't know how they will scam them.
People that are usually cheated in crypto, are the ones that are actively searching for "get rich quick" schemes, so they are victims of their own search. I really don't know how someone can get scammed in crypto over the phone.
