The CoinMarketCap team assured subscribers on the X social network that it would never be the first to send messages to users. If anyone receives an email, they are scammers, especially if they ask to transfer money or ask for personal information.
To lure potential victims into a trap, attackers rush users to transfer money or promise them high profits without risks. Therefore, if an offer seems too good to be true, it is most likely a scam, service employees warn.
Be aware of scammers! CoinMarketCap will NEVER DM you first. If you receive a message claiming to be from CMC & asking for funds, it's a scam! Always verify before sending out your funds! Stay #SAFU
