Throughout the video, we explain how scammers operate by slowly gaining their victims’ trust through unsolicited messages, often pretending to be someone they are not.

By interviewing crypto investigators and scam experts, we uncover the fraudsters’ psychological techniques, which include creating a false sense of urgency and making their targets feel they need to act fast or miss out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
