Ponzi Schemes and Fake Investment Schemes: Scammers promise high investment returns with little or no risk. Initial investors may receive profits to build trust, but these come from new investors, not actual profits.
Phishing and fake websites: Scammers create fake websites and emails that imitate legitimate cryptocurrency exchange platforms to steal login credentials and private keys.
Digital wallet theft: Fraudsters gain access to victims' digital wallets through malware, social engineering, or hacking techniques, and transfer funds to their own addresses.
Fraudulent ICO (Initial Coin Offering) Offerings: Scammers promote fake or fraudulent cryptocurrency projects through ICOs, collecting funds from investors with no intention of developing a real product.
To prevent these scams, it is recommended:
Thoroughly investigate any investment opportunities and verify the authenticity of the platforms and projects.
Keep private keys safe and do not share them with anyone.
Use two-factor authentication whenever possible.
Be wary of promises of guaranteed profits and opportunities that seem too good to be true.
