🚨 Crypto Scam Surge – What You Need to Know.

Global crypto scam losses reached $4.6 billion in 2024, up 24% from the previous year. Nearly 40% of high-value cases involved AI deepfake impersonations.

In Q1 2025 alone, authorities dismantled 87 scam rings using AI deepfakes, particularly targeting users across Asia.

Pig butchering and Ponzi-style scams remain dominant—costing over $5.5 billion in 2024, with elaborate grooming and deception tactics.

Key risk hotspots:

👉 AI-powered scams (deepfake videos, fake Zoom calls)

👉 Phishing via social media and fake dApps.

👉Romance‑/investment‑style “pig butchering” schemes
