Unfortunately, like any trade, scams of all shapes and sizes persist inside the cryptocurrency sector. This past week has seen a Filipino couple inactive when amassing over $17 million USD through a bitcoin investment scam, and protests control outside the workplace of a Vietnamese company that swindled $660 through 2 multi-level selling (MLM) initial coin offerings (ICOs). It seems that cryptocurrency scams square measure still being peddled via analog communications – with phone and snail email-based scams being reportable in the week conjointly.
