Scammers are increasing

[Findingnemo]

Scammers are everywhere so we have to be very careful with our money because it belongs to us and we only know how hard it is to earn that money so if someone saying you can double that in minutes then its not too hard to smell something shady behind their words.

Well, these scammers are not choosing any season. They are there for all seasons, bears or bulls.

True, but it's quite evident that they are more active in bull markets as a good number of beginners are flooding into the markets in a bull market. The bull run of 2017 is the perfect example.

Yes, you are right.

I think the fact that everyone is in their homes too due to quarantine is an additional factor.

Exactly! It is actually very possible that Google itself will be the one to lead you to a much more dreaded scenario.

Just hours ago, an article in line with this issue just popped up on my feed: https://cointelegraph.com/news/google-keeps-promoting-crypto-scams-despite-strict-crypto-policies

Before painting google all evil:

The fraudulent CoinCornerr.com website is currently unavailable. Its Google Ad has purportedly been taken down at the time of publication. According to domain registration data, the fraudulent domain was created on April 29.

Pretty fast response from them, right?

Second:

According to Spiers, the fraudulent website successfully bypassed Google Ads’ restrictions by not mentioning Bitcoin or cryptocurrency in their advert at all.

That website was not praying on people searching to buy Bitcoin, it was just a phishing scam for the domain "CoinCorner".
Nobody who would have searched for the terms "buy bitcoin", "sell bitcoins" would have seen that ad.
And people are falling for Ponzi scheme for a century, with all the info available there are still cases all over the world, there are hundreds of other scam schemes still running people are still sending money to that Nigerian prince, to the "it's me it's me" phone scam, to many others, and some will still fall those ICOs, doublers, cloud mining and so on...

It will take years before those will start dying and the new wave of crypto users is educated enough so they won't become victims.

Oh, one funny thing...
Bragging all over the place that you have made x100 profits in crypto isn't helping either

...Since the price is increasing, such scam method will also increase. ..

I do not associate the increase in the price of bitcoin with the number of scammers. There are already too many scammers in the crypto world. I meet such scams almost every day and most of all scammers use a Ponzi scheme. This is because it is very easy to register a new site and place a template with a similar scheme there. And then just wait for someone to click on the ad and place their Deposit there.

With the recent price increase of BTC, the number of scammers are also increasing. Yesterday I saw a few people posted bitcoin doubler scam link on one of my facebook group. Since the price is increasing, such scam method will also increase. Do not trust any lucrative offer you get, please check on google before putting your money.

Scammers are always waiting for opportunities. These scammers will never end. When the price of Bitcoin goes up, a lot of investors come to the market and there are old and new investors. And the main target of these scammers is new investors. Because new investors have no idea about such scams. So scammers try to take advantage here. Every time the bitcoin market starts to go up, the number of these scammers increases. So now everyone should be careful. We should also warn others.

Trust me, when price increase there will be a lot of new scammers + new scam method to scam the new investors mainly because newbie has lack of knowledge. At a bull market, scammers get very active.

I'll partially agree with point "new scam method to scam new investors" but won't agree to where you wrote "price increase there will be a lot of new scammers. No one knows or have statistics or proof about numbers or scammers during bull or bear season. It better to say they improvise every season making it look like new set of scammers. You can't tell who is who from these scammers

I agree that the most money is lost from fraud by newcomers who are promised a large profit in just a few days. In order to deceive newcomers. But in order to deceive newcomers, scammers do not need to create new fraudulent schemes, all of them will continue to work. These are such common schemes as bitcoin doublers, investment plans, virtual mining and fake ICOS.

Only newbies or those who are risk takers are going to fall for this scam, we all know that doublers should be a thing of the past, so many have fallen to this kind of projects in the past, scam will always continue not only on scheme like doublers, but also on giveaways and ICO and IEO giveaways, this is a multi million industry, so expect the rise of scam projects.

They are available on Twitter too, it's a shame newbies still fall for such trick, there is no way to make money easily, greedy people are the one falling for such tricks but I bet they will learn the hard way, any offer that requires you making a deposit is SCAM

Scammers are everywhere so we have to be very careful with our money because it belongs to us and we only know how hard it is to earn that money so if someone saying you can double that in minutes then its not too hard to smell something shady behind their words.

Fraudsters use different tactics to make money out of people's greed and it will be easy to recognize them if you're well aware of their system. Scammers usually used false promises that seem realistic to attract attention, like claiming that they are from well-known organizations and earning money without facing any risk. Thus, we should always search to verify things before trusting someone with money.

The scammers are going to scam anyone anytime especially this time where there is a virus outbreak which makes everything very difficult to other people and are looking for money for daily need. Even there's no virus outbreak some people still want to steal money by scamming people. That's how greedy people are.

As miners increase the scammers increase as well, they tend to be scammers because they want to make money in an easy way, which is fooling other people, they tend to offer good things, like good return in investment but if you already deposited your money, nothing will happen.

Always be careful when talking to someone, especially those people who will message you out of nowhere.

That's a common thing every time that the bitcoin's market is on green and increasing, so do the number of scammers as well. I really don't trust any of online platforms that offers any sorts of easy money, even airdrops and bounties. I think it's just their scheme to gain popularity yet soon will either promote something such as tripling your investment in 5 mins, which is common in telegram channels.

Today with the innovation of the technology and adaptation of using the blockchain and the cryptocurrency because they know the potential of this coin to make a huge market income and profit some of the people making some trading, predicting the market price of the coin but this needs to have essential and deep learning and knowledge about the market movement of the coin because it has a 90% chance of losing your market income if you miss the proper prediction, next we have an investment which is many people trying to attempt scamming those newbies into the world of investment in crypto because they encourage them with the term of double their funds and also triple with the use of cloud mining and other kinds of stuff to double their funds.  There are a lot of phishing websites to that act as the main website but the intention is just getting the information of your account like the username, password, wallet address, and private keys or codes which is linked to your other accounts and they can now easily steal all of your information and funds.

As miners increase the scammers increase as well, they tend to be scammers because they want to make money in an easy way, which is fooling other people, they tend to offer good things, like good return in investment but if you already deposited your money, nothing will happen.

If you mostly use the telegram for communication tool there are a lot of unknown people are trying to message you and promote their projects and encourage you to join and make some investment please avoid those kind of person immediately but if you don't want make a research first.

It can be the reason why scammers are increasing but I also think that the current situation contributes to it. A lot of people are on their gadgets and different social media platforms, it gives scammers more opportunity to scam people. Although there are already thousands of scammers out there even before, I think one factor right now is the pandemic. I have also seen a lot of news regarding some crypto-investment schemes emerging for the past few weeks. More people are prone to scams and fraud now, that is why it's better to aware of these scammers.

Personally, I don't easily believe in what I saw on Facebook especially if it's about crypto unless it's a trusted page. There's a lot of scammers on Facebook so we should really be careful and not believe in everything on the internet.

this is how the world runs ,people will do anything just for money. Cause money can buy everything but also the root of evil.  This is the hard truth about how our life runs in this world. Money can give you power thats why people will do anything to have it.
