How To Avoid Cryptocurrency Scams
Scammers are always finding new ways to steal your money using cryptocurrency. To steer clear of a crypto con, here are some things to know.
Only scammers demand payment in cryptocurrency. No legitimate business is going to demand you send cryptocurrency in advance – not to buy something, and not to protect your money. That’s always a scam.
Only scammers will guarantee profits or big returns. Don’t trust people who promise you can quickly and easily make money in the crypto markets.
Never mix online dating and investment advice. If you meet someone on a dating site or app, and they want to show you how to invest in crypto, or asks you to send them crypto, that’s a scam.
Spot crypto-related scams
Scammers are using some tried and true scam tactics — only now they’re demanding payment in cryptocurrency. Investment scams are one of the top ways scammers trick you into buying cryptocurrency and sending it on to scammers. But scammers are also impersonating businesses, government agencies, and a love interest, among other tactics.
Investment scams
Investment scams often promise you can "make lots of money" with "zero risk," and often start on social media or online dating apps or sites. These scams can, of course, start with an unexpected text, email, or call, too. And, with investment scams, crypto is central in two ways: it can be both the investment and the payment.
Here are some common investment scams, and how to spot them.
A so-called “investment manager” contacts you out of the blue. They promise to grow your money — but only if you buy cryptocurrency and transfer it into their online account. The investment website they steer you to looks real, but it’s really fake, and so are their promises. If you log in to your “investment account,” you won’t be able to withdraw your money at all, or only if you pay high fees.
A scammer pretends to be a celebrity who can multiply any cryptocurrency you send them. But celebrities aren’t contacting you through social media. It’s a scammer. And if you click on an unexpected link they send or send cryptocurrency to a so-called celebrity’s QR code, that money will go straight to a scammer and it’ll be gone.
An online “love interest” wants you to send money or cryptocurrency to help you invest. That’s a scam. As soon as someone you meet on a dating site or app asks you for money, or offers you investment advice, know this: that’s a scammer. The advice and offers to help you invest in cryptocurrency are nothing but scams. If you send them crypto, or money of any kind, it’ll be gone, and you typically won’t get it back.
Scammers guarantee that you’ll make money or promise big payouts with guaranteed returns. Nobody can make those guarantees. Much less in a short time. And there’s nothing “low risk” about cryptocurrency investments. So: if a company or person promises you’ll make a profit, that’s a scam. Even if there’s a celebrity endorsement or testimonials from happy investors. Those are easily faked.Scammers promise free money. They’ll promise free cash or cryptocurrency, but free money promises are always fake.
Scammers make big claims without details or explanations. No matter what the investment, find out how it works and ask questions about where your money is going. Honest investment managers or advisors want to share that information and will back it up with details.
Before you invest in crypto, search online for the name of the company or person and the cryptocurrency name, plus words like “review,” “scam,” or “complaint.” See what others are saying. And read more about other common investment scams.

💥 Scam in crypto
Scammers have launched more than 35 YouTube streams with fake cryptocurrency giveaways on behalf of Ilon Musk against the backdrop of the new SpaceX Starship test flight.
I have attached an example of one such video, where using AI they voiced the text about token distribution, as if by Musk's voice.
Be careful and don't fall for scams.

Scammers are everywhere, and they're getting smarter and smarter
Our job is to protect ourselves from them
My guide on how to avoid investing in scam projects
90% of newbies don't do it ⬇️
It is very Important to be careful not to lose your money
Crypto losses from hacks and scams soared by 113% in Q2 2024 to reach $572M
Checklist for identifying scam projects⬇️
1 ➔ | Do a thorough research |
Does the project actually create a worthwhile product or not?
The project must have real evidence
Working product Need: alpha version, beta version, test version - anything that confirms the reality of their work
For an example, let's take the acclaimed Grass
A blockchain-based protocol for decentralized web page analysis that provides data collection
We saw an initial working system that anyone could test and then be rewarded
2 ➔ | Who's behind the project |
Undoxxed teams can succeed, but they’re the exception, not the rule
Most successful projects have doxxed teams, where identities are public, allowing you to verify their experience
While undoxxed projects aren't automatically bad, it raises doubts if other red flags are present
In turn, it is important for us to know who is behind the project and whether they can be trusted
3 ➔ | Too-Good-to-Be-True Promises |
Scammers often reveal themselves away with unrealistic promises and constant hype, claiming huge profits in the future
Red flags are phrases like “The next 100x gem” or “It'll never be this cheap again”
4 ➔ | Сontributions |
Projects control who invests and how much they invest, aiming for an even distribution of funds
Scammers don't care about this, their goal is only to collect money
If you see unlimited contribution amounts or limits per person that are too high, this is a reason to think twice
This may indicate an attempt to raise money quickly rather than build something sustainable
Scammers are getting craftier, but if you are careful and do these 4 checks, they can be bypassed
Always research the project and take your time
Protecting your investment is a top priority
