In recent years, as technology has made instant access to millions of consumers easier and cheaper than ever before, scam has evolved into a global criminal activity.
This is the only crime that has such a wide reach to people across all ages, races, and geographical locations. Technology has also made it much more difficult to identify and catch these criminals.

Why do so many people fall for fraud schemes so easily?
It is almost always the result of ignorance, lack of experience, and naivety. Cryptocurrencies are new to most people, and not everyone knows much about them.

The only way to protect yourself from such scams is to be sure to research who you're dealing with. Do not respond to an offer that sounds too good to be true and do not give out personal information.
