fraudsters in Bitcoin

Whether you like it or not, but the current market capitalization of Bitcoin is already $ 10.5 billion. If someone of you still do not understand how this big pile of money, the fraudsters have long been kept on the alert, and ready for anything just to grab their share.

Regardless of whether you are doing cryptocurrency professionally or just trying to take this path, we recommend that you keep close track information about fresh revelations and, in general, a large-scale fraud in this area. Separately, I want to thank the resource Coin Republic, which experts kindly provided information for infographics and CryptoCoinNews resource for what the guys are constantly sharing relevant information about the bench, in one way or another connected with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency.

In general, fraud and benches involving Bitcoin can be divided into several categories:

Fake websites

At the beginning of 2016 one of Reddit users of the resource lost several of BTC, once invested them in the fake (fake web) site, disguised as a popular exchange platform ShapeShift.io. The site was really very similar to the original, except that in his address was leaked letter, which is quite difficult to see. Once this information is entered ShapeShift team, the guys immediately posted a press release, which acted as a warning to other users of the exchanger.

It is worth noting that this is not an isolated case. Periodically, there are fakes in way BitStamp, Bitcoin Foundation, Blockchain.info and other popular resources.
