Be Aware of Internet Scammers
We want to believe that the Internet is a safe place where you can’t fall for all types of online scams, but unfortunately it is not the case
We can become an easy target for evil-intentioned people who want to steal our most valuable personal data and money
Criminal minds have all kind of tactics and nowadays they can reach further than before, into our private lives, and we can’t do much about it
Attack tactics and tools are more and more sophisticated and ingenious phishing scams for example can be deployed from unexpected regions of the world, where it is very difficult to prosecute eventual perpetrators.
Victims to scams can be young or old people, Male or female but apparently millenial are particularly more vulnerable to online scams than seniors.
One very popular scam these days is Bitcoins Scam where many people ended up losing a lot of money.
I can tell you from my personal experience how fierce this kind of scam is.
One day I was curious about Bitcoin and I made the mistake to register my email address and phone number on a Bitcoin Forum. After I registered I started getting bombarded by phone calls from very aggressive people who wouldn’t listen even when I tell them I am not interested. The phone calls lasted for few days and it was very annoying.
In the beginning I talked to few people and every time I did a search on the internet I found out the companiy was not legit then I stopped answering the phone when the call is from an unknown number. It was very annoying. II was shocked how many scammers are there.
So If you want to invest in Bitcoin technology, please be aware of online scams.
