How do cryptocurrency scams typically operate? I've heard stories of people losing significant amounts of money, but I'm not entirely sure how these schemes function. Could you elaborate on the common tactics used by scammers to lure in unsuspecting investors? Are there any specific warning signs that one should be mindful of? Furthermore, how do these scams capitalize on the perceived anonymity and decentralization of cryptocurrencies to carry out their fraudulent activities? Understanding the intricacies of these scams would greatly assist in protecting oneself from becoming a victim.
