While this can be appealing for newcomers who don\u2019t know much about crypto, this is a text-book scam.<\/p><p>They will often contact you directly via phone call or email asking you to create an account on an exchange and then to send them crypto to invest on your behalf. This is an immediate red flag. Always stick with a trusted exchange, and do not use external third parties to do the investment for you. If it seems too good to be true, then it probably is.<br \/><span style=\"font-size: inherit; text-align: inherit; color: var( --e-global-color-text ); background-color: var( --e-global-color-c530ec8 ); font-style: var(--fontStyle, inherit); letter-spacing: var(--letterSpacing); text-transform: var(--textTransform);\"><br \/><b>Pump &amp; Dump schemes<\/b><\/span><\/p><p>The pump &amp; dump \u2013 a classic trading scam which many stock traders are familiar with. This is basically when an asset is artificially hyped and coordinated bulk buying sends the price skyrocketing up, only for those with inside knowledge to sell their holdings and take profits, sending the price crashing back down and taking all other investor\u2019s money with it.<\/p><p>Most pump and dump schemes convince people into thinking that getting in early to a great project (often during the ICO (initial coin offering) phase) will bring them huge returns. While this might actually be the case, keep in mind that these early ICO opportunities are very rare and that many crypto projects fail before ever getting off the ground.<\/p><p>If getting in early to a great project was easy, everyone would be doing it.
