    One potential risk of falling for baiting social engineering schemes in the world of digital currencies is the loss of funds. Scammers may trick individuals into revealing their private keys or login credentials, allowing them to gain unauthorized access to their digital wallets and steal their cryptocurrencies. It is important to always be cautious and verify the authenticity of any requests for personal information or access to your digital currency accounts.

    Another risk is the potential for identity theft. Social engineering scammers may gather personal information from individuals, such as their name, address, and social security number, under the guise of needing it for account verification or other purposes. This information can then be used to commit identity theft and fraud, causing significant financial and personal harm to the victim.
