There are many different kinds of cryptocurrency scams that are victimizing

people who are new to the crypto world. Con artists prey on those who

don’t know the difference between a legit crypto platform and a fake one,

who don’t know a Ponzi scheme from a legitimate affiliate program. These

scammers fool people into thinking that their well-designed websites give

them a semblance of legitimacy, but on closer inspection, these sites won’t

pass muster. Here are some giant red flags you should be aware of:


1 – Website Has No SSL Certificate


It’s very important for a website that deals with cryptocurrencies to have an

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate installed. Websites with no SSL

only display HTTP before their domain names and websites with SSL show

HTTPS. Many scam websites are here today, gone tomorrow types of

sites, which means once they’ve scammed a certain number of people,

they’ll shut down that site and move on to a fresh domain. It’s quite easy to

transfer website files from one domain to another; this is why these

scammers can set up shop very quickly.


2 – The Offer Is Too Good To Be True


Whether you’re trying to get the best rates for your dollars or bitcoins, it’s

only natural that you’d want the best possible deal. Since cryptocurrencies

are decentralized, most crypto exchanges have their own exchange rates.

However, these rates don’t vary by much. If you see a website offering

rates that are significantly lower or higher than other established

exchanges, then it’s a giant red flag. It’s better to do business with a trusted

platform with higher fees than to try to get the best deal out of an unknown

website that could possibly swindle you out of your entire fortune.


3 – Beware Of Ponzi Scams


Some Ponzi scams are not as obvious especially if they’ve been around for

a few weeks or months. This is because their first members would already

have received their profits (derived from payments by new recruits) and

would be posting glowing reviews on the Internet. At first glance, you might

be fooled into thinking it’s a legitimate crypto operation especially if you

personally know someone who’s made money from the scheme. Check out

those positive reviews, and you’ll see they’re basically saying the same

thing. We’d even like to bet they would have their affiliate or referral links

somewhere on the review.
