It's important to note that scammers are the ones responsible for stealing money from people and not the asset used for it, many people when got trapped in a scam they condemn the asset involved on it and decide that for example Bitcoin is scam! That's completely wrong, scams involving fiat also exist a lot also and it always important to learn to protect yourself from business that seems "so good to be true" as this ones mostly are scams!
Don't trust anyone with your money with business that are suspicious and that promises a lot in return, they are most times connected to fraudulent business.
Stay alert, don't get caught in this traps! Don't trust anyone and always Do your own research before investing.
