BITCOIN SCAM

Are you intrigued by the thought of making money from crypto-currencies — virtual currencies like Bitcoin? What if they were offered for free?

A scam? You’re right.

 An ad recently appearing on some websites offers $5 to $30 worth of Bitcoins for free every day through a program called “Bitcoin Collector.” All you have to do is download the Collector program and it’ll get to work for you automatically.

But it won’t be doing what you have been promised. It’ll be placing malware on your computer, which will steal log-in credentials from every site you visit.

Remember. There’s no such thing as free Bitcoin!
