‘Concerning trend’: Impersonation scams swell 1400% in 2025

Crypto security experts said a good way to counter scams that rely on deceiving victims is to be skeptical of every unsolicited message and interaction.

Scammers and fraudsters increasingly used impersonation scams to steal crypto from unsuspecting users last year, with a 1400% year-over-year spike in cases, according to Chainalysis.

We have no issue with that.” Chief Critic “Republicans had the chance to subpoena the CEOs of JPMorgan, Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, and Bank of New York Mellon to expose Epstein’s money trail,” the House Judiciary Democrats said in a tweet. “Instead, they tried to bury…
