Maybe you're not seeing the whole picture, in the world there are millions of scammers! and through the internet is the easiest way to bump into them.

It's not just in the crypto world. how many times have you not received an email telling you that you won the lottery? or that you've been selected for a select investment group? and in all cases you have to give sensitive data or send money to someone somewhere far away.

Outside the internet there are also scammers, in my country (Venezuela) abound, once I bought roasted flour that sold me as if it were coffee. I have heard cases where they buy boxes of appliances that only have paper or stones inside, Others who have bought lime instead of powdered milk and the like.
