The art of pulling off a fraud depends on escaping detection. That is unfortunately one advantage crypto scams have over more traditional frauds. The blockchain involves codes instead of names and addresses. You can send money to anyone on the blockchain and it can be hard to know whether they are a crypto scam or a legitimate recipient.
Since transactions on the blockchain are done without providing the same personal information used for bank transfers and credit card purchases, there can be very little transparency. This means it can be harder to trace transactions on the blockchain and unmask identities behind anonymous bitcoin wallets.
Crypto scams are the fastest-growing type of fraud. The anonymity of the blockchain is something that sadly helps fraudsters get away with their schemes—and other people’s cash.
Many scams operating today have a cryptocurrency element to them. They may seem like classic sweepstakes or benefits frauds but since they may involve bitcoin payments they are crypto scams by default.
Since cryptocurrency transactions can’t be reversed, chargebacks, in the traditional sense, aren’t possible. When you see unauthorized charges on your Visa, for example, you can call up the credit card company or the issuing bank and report the problem. Usually, the chargeback will be granted.
However, with crypto scams, we don’t know who received the money and where they are located. Crypto scam detection requires a full investigation launched by experts to get results.
