Description: We’re witnessing the biggest expansion of scammer networks so far, and there are a lot of reasons to fight this matter for the sake of the future. I will present some of the numbers to get the picture of the size of this problem. (Taken directly from your highlights)

Here’s my latest blog post, I’d appreciate some feedback. I’m especially uncertain about (…?)
