🚨 Crypto Scams Are Increasing (2024–2025)

People lost over $12 billion in crypto scams in 2024.

In 2025 (so far), more than $2.5 billion has already been stolen.

💡 Common Crypto Scams

1. Romance scams – Scammers pretend to love you, then ask for money or investments.

2. Fake investment offers – Promises of big profits, but you lose your money.

3. Deepfake videos – Fake videos of famous people giving advice to trick you.

4. Phishing – Fake emails, apps, or websites that steal your passwords or money.

🤖 Why Scams Are Growing

Scammers use AI to make fake stories, websites, and people.

Many scams come from organized groups in Asia, especially China.

They often trick people by playing with their emotions (like love or fear).

Very little stolen money is recovered—only about 5%.

🛡️ How to Stay Safe

Don’t trust strangers who ask you to invest.

Be careful with emotional messages or big promises.

Use strong passwords and two-step verification (2FA).

Keep most of your crypto in a cold wallet (not online).

Report scams quickly to protect others too.
