- HACKING:

most scammere are intellectual software editors and can understand encryption languages, they are capable of hacking into devices and links with no strong security and modify the settings, by so doing they can highjack things they want including valuables stored in such devices/link.
The best and most effective way of disrupting such scamming activities is to have strong system and internet securities in such devices and always have backup settings and strong Firefox. This will go a long way in protecting your device. But security updates should always be made as these hackers will always modify their hacking skills.

Another way they perform these hacking activities are to create mobile applications in camouflage.

Scammers also pretend to be customer's service agents in order to get sensitive informations from their victims. They use excuses like upgrade, technological/technical problems or network issue and will tell their victims that their personal informations are needed in order to fix such problems. The truth about this remains that no customer care of any form no matter his/her position in the company is permitted to ask any customer for their personal informations because it's confidential, so this alone will tell you that such person is a scammer if they insist, tell them you’ll come to the industry to resolve the issue.
Another method they use to scam people is to create fake business/investment platform.

For the investment aspect, they can advertise a fake investment platform and advise people to invest their monies and get it back doubled or tripled depending on how strategic they want to be. These ones can easily be seen to be scam because it's a get rich quick scheme and almost all Ponzi schemes are scam, another way to identify it is that they'll always send in private bank accounts through which the money would be invested instead of a cooperate bank account.
