The protesters that stormed the Capitol received Bitcoin donations worth around $550,000. Does that mean someone is funding domestic extremists to bring the country’s economy down?

During the first 5 months of this year, the amount of damage caused by crimes related to digital currency amounted to about $1.4 billion, according to CipherTrace research.

While most of the world is in a lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many people have lost their jobs or sources of income. While searching for a way to improve the situation, it is rather easy to fall victim to a fraudulent scheme.

The number of scam projects seems to grow proportionally to COVID-19 cases. Now, scammers are posing themselves as the National Health Service (NHS) to trick the citizens of Great Britain out of their cryptocurrency.

Fraudsters are actively taking advantage of the worldwide coronavirus pandemic. Three cities in the UK, Manchester, Pembrokeshire, and Norfolk, have already issued scam alerts against new schemes.
