How can you save yourselves from being trapped?

Research more about the crypto coin you are going to invest so that you can understand how popular the coin’s miners are and what can you expect in the long run.

Once you are sure about the miner’s profile through the track records, then only use the credit information to buy one for yourselves.

What should you do if you are scammed?
