Even though we are most aware of the risks of losing your crypto in 1001-way, today we are dealing with real appocalipse of SCAM than ever.
If you want to invest your crypto there are websites that allow you Ponzi schemes or HYIPs, but from those two option there is chance to return something (some percentage) from your invested capitol.
Main risk comes from SCAMers. So, what are SCAMers in a crypto world. Today they are sophisticated group of people that will try many options how to negotiate with you and persuade you to invest.
And they are group of people. How they act. Let say: - You have invested in some HYIP web site and you are using their Telegram chat channel to see the news there. They will contact you (can be guys that invested, cool looking girl, traders etc). And they will start conversation with you and ask you if you are investor.
You will say yes, and they start their spider net around you. Once you are inside, you will invest in a website that they offer you, they will provide you with evidence of payments etc. And after you invest let say for 24 hours you will receive your deposit plus 10%, and you will be all happy that you will reinvest the other day with them, they ain't gonna stop. They will promise you more if you invest more.
And basically your investment is litterally gone in a minute you deposit. After that you will lose time in communication with them. And finnally they will lose their temper and will tell you goodbay because they were offended because you ask for your deposit.
And in that Telegram chat what is important there are guys that will contact you during this process and promote other sites, etc. There are also guys that are in a role of SCAM advisors etc.
But, most important is that when you lose your deposit they will be all gone.
So, your Telegram chat will be quiter than ever. No one comes to ask you, no one contact you, because they litteraly work together as a SCAM group. Be aware of this, they think that you are fool and will take your money without any doubt. Reason for this is that there is no regulation for this type of financial crime still on international level, unfortunetelly.
Examples of proved SCAMs by me are:
