This doesn’t mean that existing and proven scamming tactics will take a back seat, however.

The usual HYIPs, Ponzi Schemes, and cloud mining scams will always be a part of this industry.

There is a chance that HYIP and coronavirus-related investment schemes will come together. 

Even work-from-home scams may begin to show up over time, which is rather worrisome.

Any suspicious offers and services need to be reported to the right instances as soon as possible.

Cryptocurrency holders need to protect themselves from any potential scams at all times, which is often easier said than done.
