DJK LLP Professional Rights Team Explains， How to Identify and Respond to Cryptocurrency Scams

In recent years, with the popularity of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, an increasing number of investors have entered the world of digital asset trading and investment. However, this growth has also attracted a surge in cryptocurrency-related scams. Many people fall into traps due to a lack of professional knowledge or weak awareness of fraud prevention, resulting in significant financial losses. In this context, DJK LLP’s professional legal team offers comprehensive legal support and risk management guidance for investors.

1. Common Types of Cryptocurrency Scams
1）Fake ICO Projects
Scammers launch fake crypto projects, promising high returns and low risk to lure investors into buying tokens. Once enough money is raised, the project disappears, leaving investors with nothing.

2）Fake Trading Platforms
Fraudsters create convincing copies of legitimate exchanges, luring users to register and deposit funds. Once deposited, withdrawals become impossible and customer service vanishes.

3）Romance or “Pig-Butchering” Scams
Using social media, scammers build trust or emotional connections with victims, then persuade them to invest in fake crypto projects. These scams are emotionally manipulative and highly deceptive.

4）Pyramid or Ponzi Coins
Scammers disguise pyramid schemes as blockchain-based tokens, promising large commissions for referrals. In reality, these are unsustainable Ponzi schemes.

5）Fake Customer Support/Technical Support
Fraudsters impersonate customer support agents and ask for private keys or transfers under the guise of account issues, ultimately stealing digital assets.

2. How to Identify Crypto Scams: DJK LLP’s Advice
1）Be Cautious of “Guaranteed High Returns”
All investments carry risks. Any project or platform promising “guaranteed profit with no risk” is highly suspicious.

2）Verify Source and Platform Legitimacy
Before investing, investigate the background of the project and the platform to ensure it is legally registered and regulated.

3）Don’t Trust Strangers Online
Never take investment advice at face value from online acquaintances, regardless of how knowledgeable or friendly they appear.

4）Never Share Private Information or Wallet Keys
Private keys, verification codes, and ID details should never be shared—especially not through links or unknown apps.

5）Consult a Professional Lawyer in Advance
In such a complex and evolving field, getting legal advice early is the most effective way to prevent losses.
