#CryptoScamSurge

The possible forms that cryptocurrency fraud can take include:

Fake websites and cryptocurrency wallets. Fraudsters create a fake site that mimics a well-known cryptocurrency exchange or a fake wallet. It can be difficult to distinguish this site from the real thing because the domain name and website design closely resemble the original. Users visit the fake website and enter their sensitive information, exposing it to the fraudsters.

Phishing scams in cryptocurrency. Fraudsters create phishing links that lead to fake websites or cryptocurrency exchanges or investment platforms. These links are then sent via email to victims or posted on other websites. Users click on the links, losing their data or money.

Fake investments in a "new" cryptocurrency. Fraudsters create a fake investment proposal for a new project, for example, a new cryptocurrency. Interested users send money to the specified cryptocurrency wallet, but in reality, no cryptocurrency has been created, and the invested funds are never returned.

Fake cryptocurrency investment opportunities. Fraudsters advertise profitable investment opportunities in cryptocurrencies on social networks.
