Ripple has issued a warning regarding a rise in scams targeting the cryptocurrency community, particularly in light of a significant surge in XRP prices. The company emphasized that it will never request users to send XRP, urging holders to remain vigilant against fraudulent activities such as fake giveaways, deepfakes, and phishing attempts. Ripple's warning comes as scammers are reportedly impersonating team members across social media platforms and community groups. Other entities, including CoinMarketCap, have also alerted users about similar impersonation scams, advising them to verify any suspicious communications. The growing trend of scams has prompted various organizations to remind users to protect themselves and report any fraudulent activities.
