"Real Life Crypto Scams Happening to Friends and Family"

[Seregahacker]

"Just wanted to start a thread about the scariest part of the crypto world - real life scams affecting people we know. I've got a buddy who tried to invest in a 'hot new' altcoin that was actually a Ponzi scheme, and now he's out a few grand. Has anyone else dealt with friends or family getting taken in by these scammers?"

"Bro, I totally feel you. Just last week my cousin almost got scammed into sending 10 ETH to some fake Ethereum support team. Be careful with those phishing emails and DMs, guys, it's getting more and more believable."
