#CryptoScamSurge #CryptoScamSurge Estimates suggest that 2025 is on track to become the worst year ever for cryptocurrency thefts, with the stolen value exceeding $2.17 billion by June 2025. Scammers' methods are increasing, especially using artificial intelligence to create convincing fake content, making fraud detection more difficult.

The most common types of scams:

Fake websites and apps: Scammers create websites or applications that mimic real cryptocurrency exchanges or wallets to trick victims into providing their sensitive information or sending their money. Domain names may be very similar, and the design matches the original.

Phishing: These operations target online wallet information, such as private keys. Phishing links are sent via email or social media, leading victims to fake websites that ask them to enter this information.

Pump and Dump schemes: Scammers heavily promote a cryptocurrency or token on social media, driving investors to buy and raising the price. Then, the scammers quickly sell their shares, leading to a collapse in the currency's value.
