“As always with cryptocurrency promotions on social media, users should remain vigilant in their skepticism. It’s very popular for fake celebrity accounts to post crypto scams that read something like: "you send me some bitcoin and I’ll send you back double, check out this crypto project - the returns are massive and are basically a guarantee, donate for this charity or cause with your crypto" (of course, none will go to it). Make sure always to do your own research with cryptocurrency and not to let anyone convince you of giving it away. There is no "fraud or refund department" for any cryptocurrency and transactions are final and irreversible which is why they are such a favourite with bad actors.”
