✅ Summary

Crypto scams are accelerating dramatically—2025’s first half already surpassing all of 2024. The playbook has evolved: romance scams, pig‑butchering, AI deepfakes, and insider impersonation are now mainstream tactics. Losses run into the billions globally, yet recovery remains low. Stay alert: don’t trust unsolicited crypto requests or guarantees of profit, and always verify identities. When in doubt, report—shame often silences victims more than silence enables criminals.
