Title: The Ugly Truths Behind Crypto Scams
Post by: dkbit98 on January 18, 2025, 01:46:06 PM
I recommend everyone to check out this 20 minute long documentary video explaining how crypto scams are working.
This video is made by Joe Nakamoto, known for supporting Bitcoin and traveling around the world while showing Bitcoin adoption and use in real everyday life.
I am sure you will learn something after watching this documentary.

Indian again, a lot of scammers are from India most of the scammers that I have known are from India although we also have good prominent members of the cryptocurrency community that are Indians, so we can't just call everyone from that country scammers, but my ugly incident pf scam involved an Indian who was impersonating another guy on telegram.

Although I blame myself for being gullible to have fallen for such a scam at that time, so yeah we need to be Carfin and all the safety cautions that we can lay our hands on.

i do not think race or country is very important here because in my country (and i am not indian) there are many scammers maybe just the ones that you encounter are indian scammers but there are scammers all over the world in different regions as well

Exactly. There are scammers in every region of the world. That doesn't make everyone in that region be regarded as scammers because there are people who are with good hearts who can't scam their fellow human beings because they know how it feels when someone loses their money out of a scam.

I have been scammed by someone I know before and also being helped financially by a stranger. I can't group all my friends to be scammers because of that ugly experience of mine with a friend. What I can only do, is be wise when dealing with money with anyone
