#CryptoScamSurge Here’s a comprehensive article on the global surge in crypto scams: --- 🧩 Crypto Scam Surge: A 2025 Explosion 😱 Eye-Watering Losses Investors and consumers have lost nearly $2.5 billion to scams and hacks in the first half of 2025, topping previous annual totals. According to CertiK, this includes 344 incidents, with net losses of $2.29 billion after recoveries . Chainalysis reports show crypto thefts reached $2.17 billion in H1 2025, surpassing the entire 2024 total, driven by mega-hacks like ByBit ($1.5 billion stolen) and CoinDCX ($44 million) . 🔍 Scam Types on the Rise 1. Giveaway & Impersonation Scams Scammers use deepfakes of celebrities to promote fake crypto giveaways. Victims send funds with no returns . 2. Pump‑and‑Dump / Fake Apps Fraudulent apps and phishing websites mimic exchanges, trapping unsuspecting users and disappearing with their deposits . 3. Pig‑Butchering & Romance Scams These continue growing (~40% YoY), luring victims with fake relationships and high‑yield investments . 4. Crypto ATM Scams Losses tied to crypto kiosks skyrocketed, with US fraud losses of $247 million in 2024—a nearly 100% YoY increase . 🌐 How Scammers Operate AI‑Enhanced Deepfakes: Used in social media giveaways and impersonations . Technical Support/Giveaway Lures: Support scams steal wallet credentials or trick users into deposits . Rug‑Pull NFTs: Hidden backdoors in smart contracts lead to sudden drains of investor funds . 👥 Who’s Getting Hit Senior citizens are especially vulnerable. Federal data shows those aged 60+ are over three times more likely to lose via kiosks . Cross-border syndicates, including Chinese and North Korean state-linked actors, fuel pig-butchering and romance scams, causing billions in losses . 🧩 Global Response & Regulatory Push States regulating crypto ATMs: U.S. states like Illinois and Tasmania are placing new compliance rules on ATM operators .
