the red flag for me is that they have anything to do with cryptocurrencies at all. Anything else is superfluous details.

I view anything to do with cryptocurrency as a scam. Which, I have found, is the safest bet to make.

It's incredibly volatile as an investment, so yes avoiding it would be safest.

Cryptomining as a feature in software is most definitely a scam.
