#Crypto #Cryptocurrencies #OnlineScams #PonziSchemes: "Everybody knew that cryptocurrency was bullshit from day one, but people were desperate and wanted some way to accrue wealth in a world where doing so otherwise felt impossible. The 2021 crypto bull run created the conditions under which regular people believed tech had allowed them to get in “on the ground floor,” only for it to be taken away in a graphic, ugly fashion, destroying anyone that invested any time after February 2022. The revelation of the FTX fraud made it abundantly obvious that there was never going to be another bull run.

All of this happened as cryptocurrency attached itself to the specious metaverse hype cycle, where a drunken tech industry attempted to shove complete nonsense down consumers’ throats, believing that regular people were stupid and would buy anything.

The tech industry hitched its ride to two losing concepts, and one of them turned out to be an unimaginably huge scam that would destroy billions of dollars of retail investors’ capital along with several banks.

Silicon Valley has now become synonymous with poorly-allocated capital enriching ghouls rather than creating any kind of value to society, and I’m confident that cryptocurrency is to blame."

#India #Scams #RemoteWork #OnlineScams: "Anuj’s experience is one example of the thousands of online job scams that are proliferating across India. According to the Delhi police, over 30,000 people were defrauded of 200 crore rupees (over $24 million) in January through work-from-home jobs offered by scammers who falsely represented reputed e-commerce companies. Similarly, in Odisha, authorities uncovered a fake-job racket where 50,000 job seekers across at least five states were duped. Scammers had promised them government jobs through fraudulent websites that resembled official portals.

Officers at two cyberpolice stations in New Delhi and one in neighboring Gurugram told Rest of World such crimes have increased significantly after the pandemic. According to a document the Delhi police shared with Rest of World, they had received 467 complaints against online fraudsters who offered part-time jobs, as of April 30 this year — a stark increase from the 32 such complaints in 2020.

Online scams targeting vulnerable job-seekers have been rising amid growing inflation and an acute unemployment crisis. India currently has an unemployment rate of over 8%, surpassing the global average of 5.8%."

My last ever piece about this silliness, I sincerely hope.

I have a few scammers who have contacted me. They have no idea I am prepared for them.
