Every time I see FUD shenanigans happen, I just close my eyes, and remember 20 years ago, when first webshops appeared, all the banks were screaming that every payment made online is a scam and that they, the banks, will never accept that as a payment method. Then I open my eyes and pay something with my crypto, because online banking is getting old.
Banks are scammers :D
Their problem now is that in the past 20 years the majority of the internet users encounter scam on internet or in some other form on a daily basis. The people are kinda developing an instinct and natural resistance to it :D
Good tactic.
