Many people spend a lot of time indulging in the internet and social media every day, the so-called "Internet addiction". Intoxication in "virtual life" opens people up to a myriad of scams and crimes.
When fraud occurs in the real world, victims can seek help from relevant law enforcement institutions. However, scams could potentially flourish in the metaverse due to the lack of official regulation. Users suffer from even higher risk if the Metaverse is linked with the blockchain to create a decentralized virtual platform.
Users should stay vigilance and think carefully about whether the time and resources invested in the Metaverse are worthwhile and promising, and whether there are any economic values in the activities they participate in.
