There is nothing about crypto that prevents scams.

But in the regular banking system we have decades of experience in how to mitigate the impacts of them e.g. account insurance, MFA for any new transfers or over a certain limit, auditing by independent regulators.

How do ya get your scammed cryptocurrency back, again?
