Human kind has explored and conquered almost every meter of this planet and we witnessed the expansion of humanity, science, literacy, music and so many elements of our daily life that we almost exhausted the frontiers of exploration.
Needless to say, that humanity is turning toward space and it looks like a natural path of human kind to reach other planets.
Once again we become pioneers in conquering wasteness of space.
However, with the exploration of our planet we are witnessing how parallelly crime, scams and fraud are expanding their horizons.
One of those explorations literally boomed during lockdowns, mainly because we had a new phenomena and that is “working from home” where we literally made the Earth flat.
Flat in terms that we are all connected by the internet, from point A to point B via a direct line.
Working from home has forced us to communicate with loved ones, peers, friends via boxes; our mobile phone, our computer screen and it was expected that this phenomenon working from home will be exploited by fraudsters.
They use this direct line to communicate, offering either love, romance, salvation, cure and most importantly the thirst for human addiction of being secure. Secure by getting rich.
So what the fraudsters realised is that uncertainity, fear or loss of income or job and isolation are drivers which can be explored (don’t forget fraudsters are quiet imaginative) and that moment created a perfect exploration ground for fraudsters.
That perfect exploration or hunting ground for fraudsters is our limitation to complete due diligence on the person on the other side of the internet line.
In recent months I witnessed so many calls and attended so many meetings with people who have fallen into this trap of being rich.
That trap is called #Bitcoin, and after all numbers don’t lie.
You can invest amounts of money for a return of almost 130 %.
Who would refuse, right?
The danger of dealing with someone overseas who represents a Bitcoin or #Cryptocurrency company and offers you lucrative earnings for which no one knows, not including the tax man.
