🚨 #CryptoScamSurge : the wave of fraud hitting the crypto ecosystem In 2025, the cryptocurrency industry faces an explosion of sophisticated fraud. Recent statistics reveal a rise of 200 to 245% in attacks, notably due to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and deepfakes. 📌 Main scam vectors: Deepfakes impersonate personalities like Elon Musk or government officials to promote fake airdrops or crypto platforms, resulting in massive losses on a global scale. Phishing scams and address poisoning have cost victims over 1.2 million USD, with fraudsters sending small amounts to cover their tracks. The rise of "pig butchering" scams: this mechanism based on grooming and romance costs users billions (over 3.6 billion USD in 2024), often via Telegram or messaging platforms. 🏛️ Recent impacts: In Asia, 87 deepfake networks were dismantled in the first quarter of 2025, resulting in cumulative losses exceeding 34 million USD in a single operation. In the United States, a RICO investigation led to the arrest of 12 individuals involved in a crypto scam network that diverted 263 million USD. The first half of 2025 has already recorded over 2.17 billion USD stolen in hacks, notably the massive heist of ByBit. 🧠 Prevention tips: 1. Do not grant unlimited permissions on tokens or airdrops upon receipt. 2. Systematically verify the authenticity of YouTube videos or messages on Telegram, especially in cases of overly good promises  . 3. Activate separate wallets to test new projects (risk isolation). 4. Use on-chain security tools to automatically revoke dormant approvals.

#CryptoScamSurge The global proliferation of fraudulent cryptocurrency schemes has reached alarming proportions, with victims losing millions to cleverly disguised investment opportunities and impersonation scams.

Always verify project whitepapers, review code audits, and cross-check team credentials on reputable platforms. Never rush into deals that demand immediate payment, and maintain strong, unique passwords alongside two-factor authentication. Report suspicious activity and share warnings within your community.

#CryptoScamSurge Scammers impersonate new or established businesses offering fraudulent crypto coins or tokens. They'll say the company is entering the crypto world by issuing their own coin or token. They might create social media ads, news articles or a slick website to back it all up and trick people into buying.

#CryptoScamSurge In crypto, there's another wave of deception — and this time it's smarter, subtler, and more expensive. While some are catching $PEPE or $PENGU on the early start, others are already earning, but not from growth, rather from the naive. ⸻ 🔥 What's happening? • Fake airdrop sites (Solana, StarkNet, ZkSync). • Clones of tokens with a block on sales — "you can buy, but you can't sell". • Fake Binance support in Telegram. • AI bots with “you can't tell the face” who the scammer is. ⸻ 📊 In just 60 days: $26 million was stolen from MetaMask users through fake sites and malicious contracts.
#CryptoScamSurge In crypto, there's another wave of deception — and this time it's smarter, subtler, and more expensive.
While some are catching $PEPE or $PENGU on the early start, others are already earning, but not from growth, rather from the naive.

• Fake airdrop sites (Solana, StarkNet, ZkSync).
• Clones of tokens with a block on sales — "you can buy, but you can't sell".
• Fake Binance support in Telegram.
• AI bots with “you can't tell the face” who the scammer is.

$26 million was stolen from MetaMask users through fake sites and malicious contracts.
#CryptoScamSurge The largest Western darknet marketplace Abacus Market has suddenly disappeared from the radar, leaving users without their money in a classic exit scam. The platform, which controlled about 70% of the Bitcoin shadow trading platform market in 2024, simply stopped responding - neither the site nor the mirrors are working anymore. 💥 TRM Labs reported on July 14 that Abacus operators pulled off a scheme to leave with clients' money, ceasing operations and disappearing into the digital fog. The disappearance looks especially suspicious against the background of the fact that the platform broke the monthly sales record after the closure of one of its oldest competitors - Archetyp Market in mid-June.

#CryptoScamSurge So far, I have bought about five coins that I expected would rise from web3, and suddenly I find them actually increasing a bit, I get excited, then I find the candles stuck on a bearish candle, and the price keeps going down, down. I look at the coin's information and find that the liquidity is decreasing dramatically. Then I discover that it is a fraudulent coin. But the dirtiest fraudulent coin I won't forget is $MOG. I bought it knowing it would rise. And indeed it did rise, but I found that the coin had two similar names. The amount I bought had its price stagnating. This is the fraudulent coin, and the red triangle of fraudulent coins appeared and was not there before. 👇👇👇
