But why now? Whatâs driving this scam wave? And more importantly how can you protect yourself?
đ Why Are Scams Surging in 2025?
FOMO Culture:
The fear of missing out (FOMO) makes people act fast often without due diligence. Scammers know this and use hype to their advantage.AI-Generated Scams:
Deepfake videos, fake influencer tweets, and realistic phishing emails are now AI-generated, making them harder to detect.Fake Web3 Projects:
Some projects look legit whitepapers, roadmaps, even verified X (Twitter) accounts. But once they pump liquidity, the team disappears. Classic rug pull.Impersonation on Socials:
Scammers often pose as Binance, CZ, or trusted influencers, luring users with giveaways or investment âopportunities.â
đĄď¸ How to Protect Yourself?
â Always DYOR (Do Your Own Research):
Never invest just because a friend or influencer said so. Dig deeper. Check contracts, community feedback, and project team transparency.
â Verify URLs:
Only use official links from verified sources. Bookmark the real Binance site. A small typo can cost you everything.
â Use Web3 Wallet Protection Tools:
Consider browser extensions like Wallet Guard or trusted anti-phishing tools to avoid malicious contract approvals.
â Ignore âToo Good to Be Trueâ Offers:
If someoneâs offering you double your crypto for free itâs a scam. Full stop.

Crypto is freedom. But with freedom comes responsibility.
