Crypto scams are skyrocketing — global crypto fraud rose by 456% between May 2024 and April 2025, fueled by AI-generated voices, deepfake videos, and cloned tokens like $DOGE , $PEPE , $PENGU . Even high-cap assets like $BTC, $ETH, $BNB, $XRP, $SOL have seen impersonators mimicking senior executives and political leaders to extract funds. A Vietnam-based scam ring was shut down after defrauding $300K in NYC alone. Meta shut down 700 fake accounts tied to it.
