I will never attribute Bitcoin risning in price against scams also rising. What I have seen is that there will always scam all over the cryptospace even when BTC goes down to less than $2K. People are out there always scamming and they don't and never think of such things .
Evil is always everywhere, because of our ignorance that will make criminals in action. They work if there is an opportunity, so try so that there are no weaknesses that can harm ourselves.
With the increase in the price of bitcoin, crypto criminals are increasingly aggressive in carrying out their crimes, because the money from the nominal crime is large. In the real world or in cyberspace, crime always exists.
