Cryptocurrency Scams

Scammers are always finding new ways to steal your money using cryptocurrency. Here are some things to know from the Federal Trade Commission to steer clear of a crypto con.

  • Only scammers demand payment in cryptocurrency. No legitimate business will require you to send cryptocurrency in advance — not to buy something, and not to protect your money. That’s always a scam.
  • Only scammers will guarantee profits or big returns. Don’t trust people who promise you can quickly and easily make money in the crypto markets. 
  • Avoid mixing online dating with investment advice. If you connect with someone on a dating site or app, and they offer to teach you about crypto investments or request that you send them cryptocurrency, it’s likely a scam.
