Authorities and financial institutions are increasingly warning the public about the surge in online scams, including romance scams and cryptocurrency frauds. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has launched Operation Level Up to alert potential victims of these scams, which often involve building a relationship online before persuading individuals to invest in cryptocurrencies such as $Libra. Reports of romance scams have led to significant financial losses, with a notable case in Salina where a woman lost up to $90,000. These scams exploit various human vulnerabilities such as loneliness, greed, and fear, using sophisticated methods like 'pig butchering' and deepfake technology to deceive victims. Cryptocurrency scams, including 'rug pulls' and 'pump and dump' schemes, are also on the rise. Experts like Javier Ruiz emphasize the importance of conducting thorough research before investing in any cryptocurrency, as these scams can result in substantial financial losses. Javier Milei's promotion of $Libra has been cited as an example of such fraudulent activities.
