In a cryptocurrency scam, thieves steal money from victims who actively invest in or use the new digital currency for transactions.

The obligation for safeguarding assets ultimately falls on the end-users.

Fraudsters will cold call victims and pitch "get rich quick" investments in mining and trading cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin on social media platforms.

To build a trading account, scammers will persuade victims to register with cryptocurrency investing websites and provide personal information, including credit card numbers and driver's license information. The victim will then make a small first deposit, and the con artist will call them to convince them to make additional investments to make a more significant profit.

In a few instances, victims discovered they had been conned, but only after the website had been shut down and the suspects were no longer reachable.

Cryptocurrency scams typically fit into one of the following categories:

Obtaining access to a person's wallet: Scams that allow fraudsters to access a target's digital wallet or their account authentication credentials fall under this category.
