The letter spoke of a \u201cguaranteed chance to earn on cryptocurrencies,\u201d as well as the logos of FCA and the Bank of England and images of BTC, LTC and XRP coins.\nThe letter reported that <em>\u201calthough Bitcoin is still far from its peak price of $ 20,000, which it reached in 2017, some cryptocurrency experts believe that by 2020 it can cost even more\u201d<\/em>. At the moment, it is not known whether the scammers spread the virus in this way or the distribution was a phishing attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cryptocurrency fraudsters often try to impersonate government officials or famous personalities in order to lure as many people as possible into their schemes. For example, the names of Richard Branson and Ilona Mask were repeatedly used to promote fraudulent schemes. In addition, last year, fraudsters tried to deceive the victims of <strong>BitConnect<\/strong>, posing as representatives of the Texas Securities Board (TSSB).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Criminals promoting a fraudulent cryptocurrency scheme, send letters in which they pretend to be representatives of the Financial
