Hello community,
did you here about this new type of scam?
Quote
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  Embarrassed

Hope this didn't happen so fare to somebody here.

Best regards

I think that everything is connected to each other, and the government and these taxes, and fraudulent thefts, but for the time being I do not know how!
