Every day I get randomly contacted by folks that “hey can we be friends?”. Sure!
I suspect it’s a scam, but I play along as I am intrigued how it plays out.
Today was the last straw after receiving identical boilerplate narratives. I blocked, deleted, changed privacy settings.
So….Is Cypto the #1 Scam?
It depends on whether you’ve managed to collect your free NFT yet or not?
Crypto a scam ? No. These are just scammers trying to take ur money.
In this scenario, crypto is a scam the same way western union is a scam, the same way zelle is a scam, the same way cash is a scam. Scammers love any transaction that can’t be reversed and crypto is one of those. Combine that with the fact that people don’t build online communities around the other 3 transaction types. Then combine it with crypto being new, complex technology that people are still figuring out. It all makes for good targets for scams. They say a fool and their money are soon parted, well, there are a lot of fools in the crypto space.
Scammers are the #1 scam
It’s only the flavour that varies
It’s with everything you start, in every niches there are scammers. Now just the crypto is the most viral investments, that’s why there are so many scammers
Remember the good ol times when it was just hot milfs in your area everywhere?
People continue to scam and get away with it because there are plenty of people out there that keep falling for it.
better question
are random cold contacts most likely a scam? Yes.
crypto is simply digital value and scams target things of value.
Crypto a scam? Nah, you can magically create value out of thin air…
Crypto isn’t a scam, you just need to be careful with the folks you chat with.
Lol, I have been through the same, this is nothing scary but we are yet to face the quantum threats. Many say it far fetched, but it isn’t. Scams can be ignored but this is inevitable. So I have my plan with a quantum-resistant blockchain for security. Dyor and you will be in for a surprise.
