Because of the increase in the financial leverage of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency a lot of fraudster are budding under the umbrella of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency to scammer people especially those who are not much grounded and knowledgeable of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency like me. Instance, some fraudster will send you a link through WhatsApp, Facebook and other social media telling you to click the link to register for cryptocurrency and Bitcoin with hope of making much money from the link but immediately you click the link they will access to all your information and then use hack your account and be using it for their fraudulence activities or better still scammer the you.
So if I may ask, how can we identify this kind of fraudsters?
From what you have said it means that you should not click on any link that you are not familiar with and always think that everyone is a thief trying to steal from you, then from there you look for how you can be smart, you will have gut feelings confirm some things but simply following the safety and golden rule of not being a victim and not sending your money to anyone that you don't know will keep you in shape.
