Scams are now increasing day by day and it's not new already. Cryptocurrencies have no support from governments, and I heard here that some governments (maybe in some countries) don't want to accept cryptocurrencies, I don't think we can get support from them or maybe a compliance company but we already know that there is a lot of scammers out there even here in forum there is a lot, especially with bounties or airdrops so make sure to check it 1st before joining to avoid those scammers than to rely on those compliance company that you are saying. No one will help us but only ourselves.
The history of crime is as old as the human race itself. Scammers, smugglers, thieves and all such people have existed since the beginning. Unlike other crimes, scams become successful due to the stupidity of people. They felt victim to stories and big baits. They fail to see the hidden game. Just to make more money in less time, helps scammers in achieving their missions. Greed and laziness are big problems. I am happy you were smart and saved yourself.
