Bitcoin Discount Bandits
As many are starting to find out, the Crypto-World has many perils. There is the danger of losing or forgetting the password to your Crypto-Wallet and worse yet, having a hacker compromise your password and then depleting your account of any crypto-currency. There are the many ponzi schemes looking for your crypto-investment with promises of fantastical returns. These ponzi's give you initial hope but then viciously kill your dreams while you watch them turn into nightmares. Then there are the ICO's that have recently become runaway freight trains without brakes. Hopefully no one gets hurt by these, but some do look like financial train wrecks waiting to happen.
I don't mean to scare anyone, but rather to make people aware that there are dangers out there in the Crypto-World, both to your finances as well as to your physical being. As Cryptos become more and more valuable, so to will the criminal element's desire to take and steal them increase. This is an unfortunate fact of Crypto-Wealth, but also an important fact to be aware of.
I bring this up because people looking to purchase Bitcoins have been robbed and victimized recently. Although I was not able to determine what site they were using, it seems they were setting up local sales of Bitcoin. They were most likely using Craigslist or localbitcoins website to offer Bitcoin at discounted prices. Once they met their victims, they would rob them of their purchasing money. I fear that this will become more of a trend especially as the value of cryptocurrencies continues to climb.
