And hopefully people here have sense enough not to use some random web address to send crypto to, unless it's not a random address and is an exchange that has a positive, established reputation. Despite all of the scam accusations I've seen through the years, I've got faith that not even the newbiest of noobs nor the greediest of the greedy would fall for this crap.
Somehow, people keep falling for things like this.
Things like this are dependent on the existence of gullible and ignorant people. I mean, the scams are still on because there are still people to fall for them. If there were no more fishes in the river, they would have packed it up and gone to another river.
There is a reason why false religious prophets are still profitting till this day, there's a reason useless politicians still win elections even though they're obviously not competent enough for the job, there is a reason why suicide bombers and terrorist still exist. This is because the world will never run out of gullible, ignorant and foolish people.
