A surge in online scams has been reported across various platforms, including dating apps, cryptocurrency, and memecoins trading. Authorities such as the FBI and cybersecurity agencies are warning users to stay vigilant against fraudsters who create fake profiles and use phishing tactics to deceive victims. Scammers are increasingly targeting dating apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge, where they build trust with victims before asking for money. In the cryptocurrency space, fraud schemes are on the rise, with scammers exploiting the excitement around digital currencies. Only 6% of memecoins traders make 10-200x returns, highlighting the risks involved. Experts advise users to avoid sharing personal details, transferring money, and clicking on unknown links to protect themselves from these scams. Tools like the gem finder tool can help identify potential scam projects.
