- Dec 25, 2021 · 3 years agoSmart contract scams are unfortunately quite common in the cryptocurrency industry. One of the most prevalent scams is the 'exit scam,' where a project raises funds through an initial coin offering (ICO) or token sale and then disappears with the investors' money. Another common scam is the 'fake ICO,' where scammers create a fake project and token sale to trick investors into sending their funds. Additionally, there are 'rug pulls,' where developers manipulate the smart contract to drain funds from the project. It's important to always do thorough research, check the credibility of the team behind the project, and be cautious of promises of high returns with little risk.
- Dec 25, 2021 · 3 years agoOh boy, smart contract scams are a real headache in the cryptocurrency industry. Exit scams are like the grand finale of scams, where the project creators just vanish into thin air with all the investors' money. And then we have those sneaky scammers who create fake ICOs to lure unsuspecting investors. It's like a never-ending game of cat and mouse. And let's not forget about the rug pulls, where developers pull the rug from under your feet and drain all the funds from the project. So, my friend, always do your due diligence, research the project and team thoroughly, and never fall for promises of easy money.
