๐จ Beware of Pump and Dump Schemes in Crypto! ๐จ
Pump and dump schemes are one of the oldest tricks in the book, but theyโve found a dangerous new playground in the crypto world. Hereโs how they work:
1๏ธโฃ The Hype Train: Scammers artificially inflate the price of a low-value coin by spreading FOMO (fear of missing out) through social media, groups, or forums.
2๏ธโฃ The Pump: As prices skyrocket, unsuspecting investors jump in, hoping to ride the wave to the moon.
3๏ธโฃ The Dump: The orchestrators sell their holdings at the peak, causing the price to plummet. Investors are left with heavy losses.
๐ซ How to Protect Yourself:
โ๏ธ Do your own research (DYOR).
โ๏ธ Be wary of coins with sudden, unexplained price surges.
โ๏ธ Avoid falling for promises of "guaranteed" returns.
โ๏ธ Trust reputable platforms like Binance for research and trading tools.
Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
