Actually with the growing price of bitcoins such number of growing scams can too be expected. Peoples are getting wise and their heads are filling up with the scammy or shaddy ideas. More and more advanced means of scamming are been invented to rip people's money apart. Reading this news, I feel upset and also a bit afraid. The funds which we store in bitcoins might not be safe reading these kind of news but keeping the money safe depends on each of the individual.
We have a lot of varieties and options to store our bitcoins into which can be safest and impossible to hack into. Also, the government as well as the media is always in search of "BITCOIN SCAM" and not "DOLLAR SCAM" only because of bitcoins being decentralized.
