I have seen a bunch of new threads that promoted an ico that used to fight this virus and I can believe if this kind of ico is a scam. I hope that a lot of people will aware about this and they will never try to believe with those scam charity that used the name of humanity to fight corona to scam others. It looks like we need more awareness about this.

People have become so ethicsless and greedy that they attack people when they are suffering. A person in problem is highly likely to believe in any positive prospective that they'd outright accept it. That's why it's aways better not to make decisions by your mood and think about it for at least two different days.

Yeah, very possible, people should be cautious about this situation and try not get scammed as a result of covid-19, opportunist will try and make money out of people's misery even when people are suffering from this pandemic, they don't seem to care, some bad people will take advantage to do bad things instead of genuinely helping those in need.

They keep coming here, saying they are connected to one NGO or the other. Some even say they have connections with WHO. All these are just means of convincing and confusing people in order to make them fall into their trap.
Do you know what amazes me most?
They have good and attractive websites.
The information there looks too real.
They can issue you with documents (fake) to back their claims.
They can be very intelligent and smart.
So, you have to be extremely careful at this time.

First save yourself from this virus because it is capable of affecting anyone and even can make you die if your immunity is weak or already have some respiratory diseases.

Donate if your government asked for it or just keep everything to yourselves because we never know how long it will take for those things back to normal in that time period you may need those money for your needs.

As far as i know, the scammers will always trying to find a way how to steal the money from peoples.
Pretending to collect the donation in cryptocurrency for corona virus could be the way.
If we want to donate, just donate to the official one with fiat money.

perfect examples are those corona virus-related projects here. if you are an old timer, are you going to invest on those projects? i don't think so. they are one of those money grabbing schemes from naive users. they are popping out like mushrooms and enticing possible sympathizers by stating one of their missions is to donate some of their collected funds to the victims, UNICEF, NGOs, or other charitable institutions. do you believe such kind of stunt if they are anonymous teams? so please be careful with these projects. they are meant to be in the trash bin.

We already have Corona coin   and I'm pretty sure it's same thing that OP is talking about, if just easy to spot this type of scams nowadays, scammers aren't always that smart unless you are greedy

yes, indeed, these are unpleasant times for everyone, but scammers are certainly trying to use it to scam others, as i heard, in my country small criminals organized themselves, disguised as medical workers to help elderly, go into their homes, dressed as medicals, and steal from them, cannot be worse than that

As you mentioned, fraudsters exploits the situation for their own benefits without even realizing how it may affect other people. It's because they think that they can easily persuade people, especially people whose willing to help people in need, but they don't have any idea that the situation is being used against them by asking them for fake donations without giving any assurance that it'll be donated. We should be cautious these days because people changes their mindset when it comes to money. Fraudsters are everywhere and we need to be careful with our actions because they will always seek for an opportunity to deceive us.

When ICO was reigning in 2017 many scammers scam innocent victim, and even while IEO takes over series of fake IEO projects entered crypto space, the fact is scammers are always in every corner and waiting patiently to take advantage of any new opportunities

Of course, scammers will always look for an opportunity in any situation be it good or bad, they don't care but will try to rip off any gullible user. I have seen people making use of this virus situation as a means to create an ICO and I wondered what the idea of the project will be at all. In addition to what you have rightly said, it is better for everyone to be careful of the type of projects they get involved with as more scams will be coming up now, might not be through ICO but might be through giveaway events etc.

Yes. I agree with the warning. Because I have also read a tread asking for donations in the form of BTC to overcome corona disease. His foundation is only based on dreams of meeting Jesus. Joke

Scammers always want to exploit opportunities. The current situation is that people in the world are scared and people want to help each other. And scammers are taking advantage of this opportunity to make money. If we think of the ico scam then we can understand how scammers are scamming innocent people. Now the days of ico are over so scammers are waiting for new opportunities.

I think it is not enough blaming scammers.
We need to re educate newbies, on the basics to do as regard crypto currency.

As individuals, even apart from crypto currency, we must learn the patience to find out thorough information and investigations ourself.

Because it will help in the crypto space.

Please and please, always dyor.

yeap you are right mate, shit peoples already creating corona token. I saw more than 2/3 tokens news in crypto news sites, even one token added in coingecko. you can take a look. https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/coronavirus-token
so before any donation think twice that is it right place or scam.even buying corona token buy 100 times because scammers made a trap for you to scam your valuable money.

Scamer is a collection of uncivilized people, they will always look for opportunities to gain profits. Outbreaks that are happening now will also certainly be utilized by them, if you want to help better to a credible foundation or institution

This is always the way of scammers, they will always take advantages of any opportunity, just to get what they wan't, this has been their pattern time and time again, but those people who get scammed are the one that are too greedy, they already had what they wan't but since they wan't more , they unconsciously, fall for the same mistakes that others did simply because of greed.

[AicecreaME]

This is so true. I'm also thinking the same thing, surely there are people that's going to use this issue to gain sympathy from people to gain money, start a fundraising saying that it's for the country or people that's been affected by COVID-19 virus. A lot of people could(would) be trick by this scheme because we're in a tough situation in where our lives is at stake, and if we don't help each other, we're all going to die because the disease will spread rapidly.

So it's always important to do background check before you donate some money, because your money would not help anyone, but to scammers only.
