#CryptoScamSurge Crypto scams have surged in 2025, with losses hitting record highs. Fraudsters are using AI-generated deepfakes, fake airdrops, and pump-and-dump tokens to lure investors. Rug pulls and phishing attacks remain rampant on DeFi platforms. Even seasoned traders are getting duped by slick marketing and false endorsements. Regulators are scrambling to catch up, but the space still lacks solid oversight. Investors should double-check sources, use cold wallets, and avoid “too good to be true” promises. In a bull market fueled by hype, caution is critical. The gold rush mentality is back—and scammers are cashing in faster than ever.
