#CryptoScamSurge
When altcoins start to soar, the excitement—and FOMO—reaches new heights. New tokens with catchy names and flashy marketing make headlines, and everyone wants a piece of the next "100×" moon shot. Scammers know this, so they ramp up the volume: fake airdrops, phishing sites that mimic your favorite DEX, and "too good to be true" yield farms that drain your wallet the moment you deposit.
Moreover, inexperienced traders—lured by tales of big 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.
