Continuing for March – Fraud Awareness Month, we’ll look at Business Opportunity Scams 💸 🕴 🏢
This scam can play out in a number of ways, but it typically takes place when someone contacts you with a business opportunity with the promise of helping you grow rich. In some cases, scammers get you to fork over your crypto by telling you they can provide you with exceptional returns, even doubling or tripling your crypto assets overnight. 📈 🚀 🌙
Either way, you should know that there’s no such thing as “guaranteed returns,” and that’s especially true when it comes to digital assets. If someone contacts you and says they can work wonders with your crypto and make you wealthy in a hurry, don’t reply. 📨
This has evolved recently with YouTube videos showing code of trading bots that can double your crypto balance within days, all it needs is access to your wallet with seemingly innocent code. I looked at the code myself and its very subtle, in how it steals your crypto, but for even the average tech savvy person, this is an easy one to be taken in by. 🤖
