Distinctive Features of Scam Coins

- The primary feature of a crypto currency is that it is a payment tool. Scam coins are launched with the slogan of investment and profit.

- Scam coins paint the eyes of people with high profits in the initial phase by offering investment packages that provide daily / weekly / monthly income.

- In scam coins, open source code is not required, detailed information about the operation of the system is not given.

- The prices of such coins are inflated for show to attract attention.

- As the coin whose price is inflated gains value, the fraudulent groups behind it will sell these coins to earn income.

- By bringing cloud mining to the fore in scam coins, we try to add new members to the system. Cloud mining in a reliable crypto currency is not offered by the platform itself. Ponzi Scheme method, sub-member or pool system, is a known fraud method.

- If the participating community behind a cryptocurrency is unreachable, then it is a scam.
