Examples of cryptocurrencies include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and many others. The decentralised nature of cryptocurrency means that it is not regulated by a centralised authority such as the government or central bank.

A "scam" refers to a fraudulent action that tricks a person (or organisation) into giving money, confidential information, or any other valuable asset using false pretences. Examples of scams include identity theft, lottery scams, online shopping scams, tax agency (HMRC) impersonation scams and so on.
