How GHash crypto mining scam is done
Investors are required to deposit funds into their accounts in a bid to optimize the process.
Scammers’ demands for account recharges in order to allow investors to make withdrawals or receive a 345 percent return on investment.
Many comply and replenish their accounts as asked, not thinking there’s been any ill-play.
The scammers then disappear from the internet without warning, and victims are cut off from communication with them.
