Good thing is that, they had already caught those six people because if that thing does not happen, the number of being affected by the scam will grow continuously. That is how expert hackers and scammers are.
So always be careful when visiting and trying some unfamiliar websites, always do research about it and read some reviews to assure yourself that it is legit.
Great news even though even though this is just a small number but at least they have reduced out those scammers out there that do create phishing sites to scam out people.
Mimicking site specially exchangers is nothing new and the reason why people getting scammed continuously because they were careless enough not to search up everything
and just proceed without any caution and just realize that theyve done something wrong when they already lost up money.DYOR is been highly recommended but people
do still continue to commit the same mistake all over again and again.
