Scammers are on the rise. A friend of mine wanted to create a fake PayPal transaction. So she googled how to do that and she landed in agoogloiicular site. It requested a few stuff she got from her actual account ( not sure what it was though, not an I.T person so I am.cluless from there) when she was done she had transfered money from her actual PayPal account to someone she doesn't know. So her fake attempt ended up costing her big time

Internet fraud escalated during cryptocurrency frenzy. In fact, cryptocurrency is the modern fraud driving force. A lot of people are desperate to reap the benefits of cryptocurrency and end up losing their funds. If government did not regulate cryptocurrency, it will continue to be used to dump the innocent cryptocurrency lovers.

However in my country the fraud cases in the internet is a little bit lowered. I think this is because only a few people are engaged in the online working activities.

Yes the more people or activities going on online, the higher the rate of scammers. Crypto has also helped increased the rate of scamming as they're difficult to trace. That's the time we're in.

The internet space is a dog eat dog environment. Anyone can claim to be anything online. And you don't have valid means of verifying those claims.
