What happens to those that are being distracted by those scammers is that they easily get carried away by hearing what they want to hear, you know there is always a direction towards whatever we give attention and that is what we may end up doing, that is to say one should be be more careful about what we give attention because a man might always want to will up doing just as his mind thinks, those that makes themselves vulnerable for a quick and easy money making mind sets gets excited on getting to hear what they want from those scammers, I call those scammers fishermen because they will always come with bates that will attract the fishes to be trapped.
Bitcoin and scams have no relationship and anyone gullible to the point of being scammed in the name of Bitcoin should face the music and should never relate it to Bitcoin. This is why we always preach that (1) people should learn Bitcoin before they invest in it and do the extensive DYOR. (2) Anything that promises a too-good-to-be-true return should be avoided. Unfortunately, even people's Bitcoin mentor scams them, they will cajole them into investing directly with them, and before you know it, boom!!! they are off the radar.
