Where did you get this report? any source? The only scams in phone that i heard about is the phishing apps downloaded from unsafe site or the apps with malware that gather all your info in your phone
How one can prevent scam of this sort please
I have found that in recent time btc phone scam has been increased a lot. Scams call people and pursue people to pay taxes and bills by btc or any altercoins. Even some asks to invest in fake coin also. Mainly the scam group target people over phone.

Few of my friends work in illegal call centres where they ask people to pay taxes through PayPal via gift cards worth $500 or more, they used to speak a repetitive speech pretending to be an officer calling from IRS. This made many of those scammers millions in USD, and many got arrested as well for conducting such an illegal business. Think once, if from that way, they used to make millions, why wouldn't they try to scam people by asking them for taxes and making them pay Bitcoins which is pseudonymous and not so easy to track? It's easy for these scammers to make fool of sincere people and loot a lot of their hard-earned money from their pockets.

Probably some exchange with 2FA was hacked and didnt inform about leak or still dont know about leak.

I myself have never experienced it, but if the potential victims already know a lot about bitcoin should not be easily fooled, because let the bitcoin mode telfon fraud is rife, but should be now intelligent people and know the true characteristics of fraud, but we must also remain vigilant ,
Any chance that they get numbers from ICOs that require KYC? Maybe this ICO companies sell you private information.
Only stupid people get Bitcoin phishing over the phone. Previously there were a lot of phone numbers to call, and they said that they invested in their projects. If I send Bitcoin to them and the next day they will send me the 50% profit
There are many forms of Bitcoin fraud on the internet. I do not think now; criminals are using phishing methods over the phone. Thank you for sharing this news. I would be more careful if someone called me and talked about Bitcoin
I have never been a victim of Bitcoin scams by phone. But some of my friends have been bothered by strange numbers. They said they were police and want my friend to send them Bitcoin for them to check
It didn't happen to me because I live in a country where the demand on cryptocurrencies is too low and scammers won't waste their time to scam us 
You have to be cautious when receiving information from people you don't know specially when they are asking you to send them money.
Scammers always find new ways to steal your money (they are clever).

yes, there are many types of scammers in this industry including as you discussed. vigilance should be prioritized especially if someone is calling you who is reviewing crypto and bitcoin. it mostly makes no sense
Essentially you should never try to follow what they say, and if you want to invest better you buy it in exchange.
Never heard of any such scam. How would they even get your phone number? You probably went to a site which is scammy or quite fishy. You probably entered your personal data somewhere and they ended up selling your information for making some quick bucks. Make sure you never enter your sensitive on random untrustworthy sites!

Never heard about such thing before, none of my friends had such problem. Maybe you have just provided the phone number on some scam website and they just thrown all their base to some thieves? Has it been happened with anyone??
This is a rare occurrence because it has long been a thief and should not be victimized by it, especially since we do not know our people talking with the phone. We must be smart and not be victims of these.
The use of phone calls in digital scams is increasing day by day. Only an informed investor can keep himself safe from this.
This is literally a bad news and can create a bad shot for bitcoin. We don't want this to keep the integrity of the system and as much as possible get rid of it. We need to keep on taking care of bitcoin and our safety is in our hands. Bitcoin is a great system and should be kept clean always. Let's all stop this kind of activity to avoid inconvenience.

I hope this is not true because this is definitely problematic. It could create a huge blow for bitcoin if this is proven real. On the other hand just in case that if it's really real then we must do something to stop it. We can't afford this kind of limitationin this system. We all want bitcoin to be clean and keep its integrity.
I have never encountered with any such scam attempt but there is always a possibility of new scams taking place. However, I believe that we should build mass awareness at least on a basic level to help people to keep themselves safe from such scams. As of now, ETH/Altcoins giveaway scams are booming across the social media and no surprise if we see such phone scams taking place soon on a bigger level.
