🚨 Beware of Crypto Scams: The Anatomy of a Pump-and-Dump-Run Scheme 🚨

A typical crypto scam involves creating a convincing facade to lure in unsuspecting investors. Here's how it works:

1️⃣ A scammer creates a professional-looking website with a legit-sounding project, complete with a catchy logo and whitepaper.

2️⃣ They artificially inflate the token's volume and credibility by using fake testnets or wash trading.

3️⃣ The scammer announces an ICO (Initial Coin Offering), promising huge returns and guaranteed profits.

4️⃣ They bribe influencers and marketing agencies to promote the project, often without disclosing the true nature of the scam.

5️⃣ Once the ICO is complete, the scammer adds minimal liquidity to the market, making it seem like the project is gaining traction.

6️⃣ The scammer cashes out, leaving investors with worthless tokens.

The kicker? The influencers often know it's a scam and get paid to promote it anyway.

So, how do scammers get away with calling it a "legitimate" project? They hide behind the fact that ICOs aren't subject to the same regulations as traditional investments. They claim they're raising funds for development, when in reality, they're just pocketing the cash.

Case in point: a project raised $2.5M, ended up with $9.4M, and the team took it all, adding a paltry $500K in liquidity. 😡

To avoid falling victim, stay vigilant:

Research the team and their track record.

Look for red flags, like fake volume or lack of transparency.

Don't invest in projects with unrealistic promises or guaranteed returns.

Verify the project's legitimacy through reputable sources.

Stay safe, and remember: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
