Cryptocurrency scams, where websites promise cheap cloud mining hash power and high returns, are all too familiar to many who are looking to invest in mining cryptocurrencies. Being an industry relatively new with limited access to resources, these websites attempt to target unsuspecting individuals with alluring packages at low costs. The victims are typically promised mining operations with high profits in a brief span of time. However, once they pay, they are left to face the harsh reality that they have no access to the promised hash power and can’t recover the payment. Unfortunately, the majority of these malicious operations accept cryptocurrency payments which contrastingly, aren’t reversible. Additionally, the people operating these scams typically use fake or anonymous accounts, making it difficult to identify them. The end result is that these scams not only cost victims financially, but can cause much distress as well.
