The platform 'CoinMarketCap', owned by Binance, issued a warning via its account on platform X regarding a new scam targeting the cryptocurrency community, confirming that it does not own or manage any original currency or digital token.
She urged users to ignore any advertisements or promotions for a currency bearing her name, considering this conclusive evidence of fraud.
The warning comes amid a surge in the cryptocurrency market, a period when scammers are active in targeting investors, especially newcomers.
According to the 2023 'Chainalysis' report, the value of illicit transactions in the cryptocurrency sector exceeded $14 billion, with scammers frequently impersonating well-known platforms like 'CoinMarketCap'.
In a related context, the 'Shiba Inu' team published a similar warning about scams associated with decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), where 'Lucy', the team's marketing director, alerted developers to the risks of bad actors taking control of those entities, pointing out the recurrence of such incidents in the web 3 environment.
