Thank you for enlightening us about the cryptocurrency scam. Make sure to write the site address correctly when logging in to friends websites. Check that there is a closed key symbol at the top left of the place where you entered the site address. Especially, check whether the applications you will download from Play Store are fake and reliable. Do not open every mail that comes to your mail, delete mail that you do not know and trust.

The most fraudulent operations that take place is by creating sites that resemble the original sites, here they enter and give information, and the fraudsters take the account, as well as spam and tempting messages.Expect a lot of people

In a more technical and professional way it's called phishing, phishing is any act of trying to obtain your information by cloning a website and sending the link to make users register so their information will be used maliciously, either by selling them in the dark web or exploiting them

[Guru2050 8284]

Fake mobile apps in play store that claims to be legit for reliable earning sites . Avoid direct download first visit the official website to locate the official apps. From the site they can link you direct to the official app in play store for instalment to clear your doubts. These apps includes exchange apps, wallets etc.

Doubler sites termly known as ponzi scheme most be avoided by all means. These are sites that claims to pay more than task exchange for the payment. Reduce the greediness for making quick rich. Also adverts from unverifiable source should be avoided at any cost.

Thanks for the informations, mate. I think the most dangerous scam attempts are phising scams. In this scam, they send you an e-mail about some money sent to your account by someone and when you click the link you are forwarded to a fake site disguised as your exchange. if you give them your personal info, you are doomed.
