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?
It really annoys me when I hear that someone falls a victim of scam by just clicking on a random link sent to you via WhatsApp or Facebook, I mean, how can you be clicking on any link you see just because a stranger you don't know says so, even if the scammer uses the account of a close family member of mine asking me to click I will first of all verify before I do anything, I have trust issues when it comes to links. You should know it's a scam when it sounds too good to be true mate, just like when these low budget scammers ask you to invest 20k and get 100k in the next 48hrs and people still falls victim to these people, na greed they worry some people Sha if not how people go believe 20k to 100k. I have trust issues when it comes to links or any online stuff unless say na me create am or na my close friends and family send am.
It's really crazy when someone says they clicked on a link and that's how their account disappeared or they got logged out of their email or something like that. Even when I send my friends and family some airdrop link, they always ask me, 'Are you sure which one is this one again? Hope it will not wipe my Telegram.' They still confirm for me.
Talk more of a random number, no proper intros, it's just message that says click on this link to get your $200 bonus from bla bla bla. And you just click or invest $20 today to get $100 next week. Why not give me the $80 profit, then keep the $20.
Or you just see email from random email contact that is not even from your location, and you just click. Everything looks so fishy when you see these email from scammers, they literally spell themself out because it looks obvious and unusual. The offers are always ridiculous. Nobody making legit money will come to your DM, begging you to invest so you will earn money or asking you to click a link so you start earning. They don't have that time.
You are the one that go after genuine investment. You are the one that look for people to mentor you. So it's really crazy for people to get scammed like this. once you see such a message, just block the person, don't even inquire more because probability if being scam is high.
