Probably this is another way of doing scam. There are many scammers in cryptocurrency because they take advantage on it. Since this is not regulated and protection is not quite high like no authorities has been tasked to monitor the events and happenings of cryptocurrency because we wanted as much as possible without the interference of the government that could also defeat of its purpose being a decentralized. Anyway, I do believe that one day cryptocurrency will go strong and that include the strengthening of security system.
Many people wish that someday security could not be a problem, so we would not bother or think about our protecting our sensitive data and funds stored in our wallets. But I think it is impossible because no technology is safe from hackers and scammers capable of stealing someone's data and funds. It is why we should always be careful about the things we buy online; even they are an authorized reseller of hardware devices.
