Indeed the current coronavirus situation ravaging the world is a good venue for crypto scammer. The ability to send and receive cryptocurrencies virtually or online makes it very easy for scammers to do their illegal ways. Taking advantage of the vulnerabilities of victims and people affected by the current situation. Everyone should be careful not to fall for them.
Scammers like copying, stealing and taking advantages, the copy website designs , steal ideas and create advantages out of anything good or even bad situations, but where is always ends is sending money to strangers, I don't do such that's why i am safe
This is the disadvantage of social media. People who lack spine instead helping are taking advantage of the situation and this is such a ridiculous move by those scammer. Without consciences they just do whatever they wanted just to earn some money. What worse is they using crypto ad their payment scheme does making it worse in the perception of other people.
disadvantage because they can now have a victim and recruit many people without explaining anything face to face . They are just give proof of the payment and show money images then they can easily attract people who want to earn money in easy way . Its happen not only in crypto they are also using other online payment as long as its available in thier country.Last week the United kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) issued a warning that the coronavirus out real might be providing criminals with the opportunity to swindle investors out of their crypto assets, you've been warned

The opportunity to scam is not just in crypto. People should be careful even in their homes because some evil group are seizing this opportunity to rob different homes in disguise as health workers spraying homes against the virus. No one should believe anything from anybody unless proper information was passed by the government on that.
We also need to be smart, with the number of crypto hacks and other crimes in the space, that should be enough to make us aware of the risk here.
Actually we will never fall for their scam if we know what we are doing and we keep educating ourselves, it's only ourselves where we can trust in our venture here in the crypto space.

I agree that we must be on guard against fraud. The scammer will always use every moment to benefit himself or his group and I think if we are vigilant and do not panic easily, then we will be able to think rationally so that we can avoid fraud
Come to think of it, some people around the world will definitely want to help those in need, these scammers are available on Twitter too giving users foul proof that the funds are going to those who are infected by the disease, may God have messy on scammers souls

I read some scammer's new method of fooling people in the beginner section earlier and it has something to do with the epidemic. We need to share some prevention to let people know that these scammers are making their move to take advantage of our current situation. We need to prevent them to accept strang offers that have to do with cryptocurrency or any other means of digital money. Today, we need to be vigilant because those fraudster doesn't have a holiday they always take advantage of every bad situation.
I am aware of the scams in the crypto space, and this is a global pandemic, it's not necessary to donate money to other countries, what I did is I just help in my own community as we are still lock down until now, people losing their job and business are closing, in a small way I also did my help by donating the basic needs like food.
Yes you are absolutely right. In this situation many people being greedy and do many ways to enrich themselves and in cryptocurrency is the most vulnerable. For old trader/investor may already understand but for newbie or people who do not have a lot of knowledge would be very risky.
A crisis is always golden time for scammers, when people are scare and panic, they're easier to make a donation to make they feel better, without check legit of the donation. I saw many threads about a new scam coin named coronacoin. They are attacking Bitcointalk, if you see a thread like that, report it.
With corona virus outbreak we have right now, it would give more opportunities for scammers to steal the money of people without their awareness. So we should be more responsible in taking care of our properties not to be deceived from those people who pretend to be charity staffs. If we want to donate cash, we can go personally to the charity intended for it and not just trust easily what we see in the internet. 
I have read the topic here where someone is impersonating the WHO, and they are asking for donations in BTC. For absolutely no reason and organization who is known for health and other applications started to accept bitcoin as a donation, better check the background of that website or check the actual site for the usage of cryptocurrency taking of payments.

Scammers will use any oppurtunity even in this corona virus outbreak. If you want to donate to help people just donate your money to official department in your country. Dont trust donation from the internet, those people are the worst one.
This is so true. I'm also thinking the same thing, surely there are people that's going to use this issue to gain sympathy from people to gain money, start a fundraising saying that it's for the country or people that's been affected by COVID-19 virus. A lot of people could(would) be trick by this scheme because we're in a tough situation in where our lives is at stake, and if we don't help each other, we're all going to die because the disease will spread rapidly.
So it's always important to do background check before you donate some money, because your money would not help anyone, but to scammers only.

This is always the way of scammers, they will always take advantages of any opportunity, just to get what they wan't, this has been their pattern time and time again, but those people who get scammed are the one that are too greedy, they already had what they wan't but since they wan't more , they unconsciously, fall for the same mistakes that others did simply because of greed.
Scamer is a collection of uncivilized people, they will always look for opportunities to gain profits. Outbreaks that are happening now will also certainly be utilized by them, if you want to help better to a credible foundation or institution
