I wonder how many people here have scammers as friends. Without being told, people are generally cautious around friends and family members who have a criminal record. I don’t agree with the idea that scammers are being introduced to Bitcointalk by members. It may be difficult for newbies to find the forum mainly because Bitcointalk is not visible on google search engines when you search for Bitcoin. But scammers have a different motivation to search for crypto communities and anywhere they can find victims for their scam.
