There will always be scams, frauds, fakes anywhere whether online, offline or those in between and there will always be people that can be victimized by scammers as they can really be creative in things they are doing. There are many who are making a good living out of fooling others and these people are the bad apples in the crates producing the bad reputation and wrong impression especially on a starting industry like blockchain and cryptocurrency. What happened is that scammers are now transferring to cryptocurrency because they are seeing the best potential to fool people and the cost and time needed is not that high compared in the past. The market for scammers is now so big thanks to cryptocurrency especially with the ICOs. I had been one of the many victims of scams before and here in cryptocurrency my MEW wallet was hacked with the help of the Slack weakness. Sad that we victims could not do anything except learning the lessons.
