#CryptoScamSurge When altcoins start to soar, excitement—and FOMO—reaches new heights. New tokens with catchy names and flashy marketing make headlines, and everyone wants a slice of the next "100×" moon shot. Scammers know this, so they turn up the volume: fake airdrops, phishing sites imitating your favorite DEX, and "too good to be true" yield farms that empty your wallet the moment you deposit.
Additionally, inexperienced traders—drawn in by stories of massive gains—often skip the DYOR (do your own research) step. They click on random Telegram groups or buy what’s trending on social media, making them ideal targets for pump-and-dump groups and rug-pull projects. Even well-known influencers are not immune to being spoofed, so a single cloned Twitter account can send hundreds of people to a fraudulent token.
To stay safe during altcoin season: stick to reputable projects, check URLs before clicking, and never connect your main wallet to a random smart contract. Remember, the hype fades quickly—but once a fraudulent token has drained your funds, they are lost for good. Stay relaxed, trade smart, and keep that anti-scam radar on high alert! #CryptoScamSurge
