Fake Crypto Investment Opportunity
Attack Trigger
Guaranteed returns and FOMO on crypto wealth overwhelm due diligence
What Attackers Want
$1,000–$500,000+ in crypto deposits
How This Attack Works
Scammers pitch cryptocurrency investment platforms promising 20–50% weekly returns with no risk. Victims can withdraw small amounts initially (funded by new investors), but large withdrawals are blocked. Eventually the platform disappears with all deposited funds.
Red Flags to Watch For
- ✗No legitimate investment guarantees specific returns
- ✗Platform is only accessible via a direct link, not through app stores
- ✗Withdrawals require payment of "taxes" or "unlock fees" before release
- ✗Promoter pressures you to recruit friends and family
