Hello community,
did you here about this new type of scam?
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has also issued a warning to the public: be wary of scammers impersonating the ATO and demanding Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies as a form of payment for fake tax debts. Officials in other countries are calling governments and citizens alike to be wary of cryptocurrencies, too. According to a statement from the agency, so far, $50,000 has been paid in Bitcoin to scammers claiming to be its representatives — and this number is sure to increase.

Please be careful, a lot of bullshit is going around out there. It's awful for the image of the whole cryptomarket, when the only things, what people hear about are scams
