As in all areas, you should know that some people do not hesitate to become a dream seller by promising juicy investments. These people intend to take advantage of the gullibility of new cryptocurrency investors.

Crypto has become a preferred playground for some scammers. If you are looking to invest money online, I urge you to be careful. In particular, pay close attention to offers that promise you to have free Bitcoins.

In June 2020, a scam was launched on the web which proposed to earn free bitcoins. The fraudulent offer used Elon Musk, boss of the Tesla and Space X brands in particular. The offer encouraged you to donate money by dangling an extraordinary match. In other words, if you paid 0.1 BTC, you were promised that you would receive 1 BTC in return. Of course, the abundance never came ...

This sad example is unfortunately only one of many.

Many scams are thus present on social networks.

The logic is often the same: ask you to pay money to receive free bitcoins.

Unfortunately, at present, it is still very difficult to combat these scams at the level of governments or financial agencies.

So the best way is to be careful.

you need to know the basics to act responsibly and protect yourself from scams.

Be careful, especially when someone promises you free Bitcoins, either by direct payment or by a supposed referral system.

Unfortunately today we have the perfect example with the Twitter Hack
The accounts released a well-known crypto scam that promised to double the money of anyone who sent Bitcoin to a certain address.
They received 14.75 Bitcoin (BTC), worth around $ 135,000.
