Cryptocurrency scams helped criminals make over $10 million last year. Security experts at Kaspersky Lab discovered that criminals managed to earn more than 21,000 ETH by only using social engineering schemes. This isn’t even the total amount of money being made by criminals as the research didn’t take into account classic phishing or targeted attacks.

“The results of our research show that cyber-criminals are adept at keeping up to date and developing their resources to achieve the best possible results in cryptocurrency phishing,” Nadezhda Demidova of Kaspersky Lab wrote.

This is why un-sanctioned digital currency will never take off. It's way to easy to steal.
