Hey mate, I think I will disagree with you there. Browsing through the internet is not easy at all. You have to be very careful because there are a lot of scammers on the internet.

Out of curiosity but why would safely browsing the internet be difficult when people can easily do it through the Utopia Idyll browser or web proxy?

This is the exact thing I am trying to point out because this 21 century and there's some application which Utopia app client is one that does the secure task for you and with the use of an antivirus like Kaspersky there should be no issue.


Many antiviruses are scams. They are there to clone your device and steal information from you. They also may or may not provide security against viruses.

Not just antiviruses also any thing malware or phishing tool is a danger you should be aware of, don’t go about clicking on things you aren’t sure about.

So of those things are evil if I must say. Sometimes they are positioned in such away that you can mistakenly click on them.  Some might even appear as site cookies

Yeah, some of those ads are that bad.  They are positioned for you to click on them. These ads contain malwares and viruses that can harm your device.

Well then the best way to avoid them is having two different phones have one that you use for your socials and then another that you would use for business.

Well that could help but the usefulness when compared to the dangers on the internet doesn't change anything. The idea of using two phones or separate devices that is work and home devices is good.

The ads are provided by the site owner in other to get the fund to manage their website. Having said that, having two phones is also not a way to avoid pig butchering scammers.

I don't count those ads as fundraising whatever you called it.  There are good ones but most of them are used ask scams. Bugs are planted on them and you are forced to click on it.

I am not talking about the normal ads. I am talking about those that contain viruses and malware which are deposited in strategic places to force you to click on them.

You can't blame them.  These people devise new ways to take away people's belongings. When you feel or think you have mastered them they change their strategies.

Hmm. I believe you make this statement because you're never a victim of online theft because their attack on the user are strategically created so that even a smart person can easily be a victim of them.

No matter how systematically and strategically the online theft is used. I think is it unfair not to pity anyone that's a victim of online theft because they always come up with new concepts to steal from people and people may not be well informed

Yes, we can't blame them and it's nice to have some sort of pity for them because in the internet space no one is ever smart. Besides, every one of us is going to make a human error at some point no matter how careful and smart we're.

This actual pig buterching technics has over 70% to trick people so easy and it also happens to take a bit more long in other for people to trip more in, whereas the system is just a money rat race with analysing profits.

Yeah, that's true there mate. But how many people are aware of all these informations? Many people do not know a lot of all these stuff including so-called cryptocurrency users.

It obvious that most of this people are attracted by those content flying around their browser when actually its just an honeybee make up content that will loot out the information out of their server

Re: Beware of pig butchering scam

The ability to bypass organizations is one of the key selling points for cryptocurrencies. They don’t rely on governments and institutions changing policies or determinations. They operate based on math, and people can transact freely without censorship or judgment.

The advantages of cryptocurrencies include cheaper and faster money transfers and decentralized systems that do not collapse at a single point of failure. The disadvantages of cryptocurrencies include their price volatility, high energy consumption for mining activities, and use in criminal activities.

Re: Beware of pig butchering scam

If you are considering investing in cryptocurrencies, you should know that each has a unique mix of benefits and drawbacks. If the value goes down, there's no guarantee that it will rise again. Nothing about cryptocurrencies makes them a foolproof investment. Just like with another commodity.

Trading generates gains or losses every time you buy, sell, or even exchange virtual currencies because the IRS treats crypto as property.

About the disadvantage of cryptocurrency. It is not every crypto mining that involves high energy consumption and for the record Crypton coin mining doesn't consume much energy.

This is not a disadvantage of crypto but a reality in the financial world. If we attach value to anything, fiat, gift cards, properties, shares, it would be used for criminal activities. This does not fault the product but shows that it has some value.

Everything in life has its advantages and disadvantages, it all depends on the different issues. Cryptocurrency has it's own disadvantages.
