Transactions take place after being recorded in the blockchain mechanism, these have a set of network nodes that need to be verified to form the required blockchain.

4. giveaway scams. Giveaway scams are relatively new in the crypto market but have been quite successful in ripping an investor off. What these scammers do is create fake profiles of famous celebrities, gain a substantial following and then eventually start running a fake giveaway of a large number of BTC’s. The innocent fans of these celebrities, having trust in them, end up participating in the giveaway but there lies a catch. In order to participate in it, one needs to make a small deposit in BTC itself. Avarice, being the trait of most human beings, and having too much trust in these celebrities, they end up making the investment without knowing that they are going to get scammed. The scammer after making thousands of dollars from each giveaway runs away with the money. When Facebook and Twitter started tracking these and eventually suspending those accounts, the scams ended up on Youtube where hackers started hacking channels with substantial followings and renamed it under a recognizable brand name. Then they started putting morphed videos of celebrities asking their fans to participate in the bitcoin giveaways. The blue tick verified brand names were enough to make their fans participate in the giveaways. WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR MONEY?
