As noticed in the world of crypto, the hackers and fraudsters are becoming more intelligent, sophisticated and applying Scam that took the world of Cryptocurrency to be more vigilant and careful with those intents. The criminals are facing the dilemma of finding new places to continue with their plans and I am affraid that Africa could become the next niche to big scams, and countries with less info will fall in the cybercriminals hands.
The demand for business that can put money into the Africans pockets are emerging more in specific countries that people don't have knowledge of fraud business and scams happening all over the Net. The criminals are masking their presence in Nations that People are not familiarized with online business and using special BTC to attract possible Investors.
The need of easy, fast and very profitable business is taking persons to commit the most dumbs and "child mistakes" as they think those business are legit, and being Africa a Continent that assimilate easy the globalization brought to the Soil, this is a complete new field to the development of Scams and fraudulent business.
Only in 2019 the world saw an astonishing $4.26 billions in crypto stolen or defrauded from people who believed in the criminals intents and they lost all their savings and now, with a brand new year to start those "guys" are looking to get more people lured and apply their Scam!
Africa must lookout but I already see bad things happening, and because of lack of information people are losing money in this auto proclaimed "get rich quick schemes" and because the people are suffering will do everything to participate, but in the end they will cry!
Beware of criminals Africa, the cybercriminals are In!!
