Cryptocurrency has grown in popularity over the last few years.

From the big boys like Bitcoin or Ethereum, to the meme currencies like Dogecoin.

The rapid rise has attracted scammers, scheming ways to take advantage of people looking to make money.

"Marylander lost about 69 million dollars to this scam and that's only what's been reported," said FBI special agent Keith Custer.

A scam typically starts with someone randomly reaching out to you from a random number or email.

The scammer then tries to build trust with their potential target.
