Given the huge bloodbath bitcoin endured, if the scammers chose to cash out now, they would not be reaping the same amount. The report by Chainalysis suggested the value in their native coins gathered by scammers have remained the same but the fall in bitcoin has made their diabolic plans take a back seat, for now.

However, the scammers have come up with new tricks to dupe the gullible customers by phishing emails and claiming that they have got the coronavirus and they would infect their family if they fail to make them the payment.
