I lost some money with COINCE - a different scam that was very, very professional - just as Bticonnect was a very professional con job. Some others out there are so low-budge that no one falls for them.
Sadly, people need policing. Even Police need to be Policed. The decentralization of the worlds information with fantasic opensource trustless systems like the SafeNetwork - will surely lead to yet another layer of super-professional scams, con jobs and ponzi schemes to beware of.
And - after all the new technology is said and done, perhaps the biggest scams will be computer vs computer rather than people scamming people. The biggest battle of AI vs AI
