How Can You Tell A Bitcoin Scammer?

Signs of crypto scams include poorly written white papers, excessive marketing, and claims that you'll make a lot of money quickly. You can contact several federal regulatory agencies and your crypto exchange if you suspect you've been the victim of a crypto scam.

Can You Get Scammed Through Bitcoin?

Fraudsters are aiming to access your account details, including your crypto keys. As any crypto user knows, he who holds the key holds all the crypto. Phishing scammers often lure you into clicking on a link to a fake website, where they can then steal your account details.

In bitcoin investment schemes, scammers contact investors claiming to be seasoned "investment managers." As part of the scheme, the so-called investment managers claim to have made millions investing in cryptocurrency and promise their victims that they will make money with investments.

To get started, the scammers request an upfront fee. Then, instead of making money, the thieves simply steal the upfront fees. The scammers may also request personal identification information, claiming it's for transferring or depositing funds, and thus gain access to a person's cryptocurrency.

Another type of investment scam involves using fake celebrity endorsements. Scammers take real photos and impose them on fake accounts, ads or articles to make it appear as though the celebrity is promoting a large financial gain from the investment. The sources for these claims appear to be legitimate, using reputable company names such as ABC or CBS with a professional-looking website and logos. However, the endorsement is fake.
