How does a cryptocurrency front-running scam operate?
Victims are drawn in by the promise of easy earnings, which is explained in convincing YouTube videos by "crypto gurus" who show them how to run front-running code on their computers. [caption id="attachment_69989" align="aligncenter" width="1200"] YouTube[/caption] However, rather than assisting a mark in earning passive income, the code serves as a front for malware. Once you've copied it to your computer, you're vulnerable to being watched by the scammer, who will instruct you on how to allocate the funds to be "traded" on your behalf. But all you'll be doing is offering the scammers your cryptocurrency.How to Avoid Cryptocurrency Scams
Never run any code unless you completely trust the person providing it to you. It also goes without saying that if something appears too good to be true—for example, earning more than $1,000 per day in passive income by simply copying and pasting a few lines of code—it probably is. Any claim that a specific trading strategy or skill will assure high returns with little effort should raise your eyebrows.Leave a Reply
