Texas BBB Warns of Cryptocurrency Scam Pressure Tactics

Cryptocurrency has become a legitimate way to invest and make certain transactions in Texas, but it's also become a favorite tool for scammers. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) continues to hear from consumers who are pressured into sending Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency after receiving alarming phone calls, text messages, emails, or social media messages.

The key is not the cryptocurrency itself, but rather the person convincing you to use it. This type of scam isn't new, and the BBB warns people to be cautious when dealing with unsolicited communications about cryptocurrency investments.
