Crypto scammers taking advantage of the situation in Turkey and Syria

With all the positive news going around in this sub about how crypto is providing relief for the horrible disaster in Turkey and Syria and helping the people there with immiadiate funds (fucking great), it really shows how disgusting people can be and how crypto gives them an easy platform to do that.

During the day we have been seeing different accounts on twitter posting links where people can donate crypto for the people in Turkey and Syria. Many of them are legit but unfortunately some of them also are not. This is absolutely awful and maybe warrants a discussion on how crypto can make scamming easier and how this also affects the negative reputation that crypto already has in the public eye. These scammers will probably never face any repercussions and will continue what they have been doing for years. We can only educate people and be careful ourselves.

I am not sure what the solution is and maybe this is the price we pay for decentralization. Still I also want to highlight all the positive news around crypto with Binance proving funds and legit accounts collecting donations for the victims.

Screw all the people who are taking advantage of such a horrible situation. Please be careful if you decide to donate!
