A crypto scam is a fraudulent scheme. It involves tricking individuals into investing in cryptocurrencies with promises of high returns. Scammers may use fake testimonials, manipulate charts and data to deceive potential investors. One common type is the Ponzi scheme. Here, scammers promise high returns to investors. They use the money from new investors to pay profits to earlier investors. This creates the illusion of a profitable investment. Another type is the phishing scam. In this, scammers trick people into revealing sensitive information. They do this by imitating legitimate crypto trading platforms or wallet providers. Once they gain access to a victim's wallet, they steal all the cryptocurrencies. Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) are another avenue for scams. While there are legitimate ICOs, some are fraudulent. Scammers create a fake project, lure investors with promising returns. They disappear once they collect enough money.
