随着加密货币越来越多地整合到美国金融环境中，建议投资者特别警惕加密货币骗局的令人震惊的上升。

These scams are a growing concern.

这些骗局越来越关注。

“There was a report by a blockchain research firm called Chainalysis that found that crypto wallets associated with scams brought in almost $10 billion in 2024, and that number is expected to rise in the future,” Investing Expert Sam Taube said.

投资专家Sam Taube说：“有一个名为Chainalysis的区块链研究公司的报告发现，与骗局有关的加密钱包在2024年带来了近100亿美元，这一数字预计将来会增加。”

Many of the scams are not high tech, including phishing, where scammers impersonate a trusted firm to steal payments.

许多骗局不是高科技，包括网络钓鱼，骗子冒充可信赖的公司窃取付款。

Also, romance scams, where digital con artists build fake relationships to lure victims into investing in crypto and then steal the money.

此外，浪漫的骗局，数字骗子在那里建立了虚假的关系，以引诱受害者投资加密，然后偷钱。

Another scam that is growing in popularity is what's called a rug pull.

越来越受欢迎的另一个骗局是地毯拉力。

“Sometimes a public figure will launch their own cryptocurrency token and will promote it on social media and draw in a bunch of hype and a bunch of investor interest and the price of the coin rises as people get more interested in it and then the original owners will sell their maximum holdings at the maximum price and they'll rug pull out of the investment leaving investors with a nearly asset,” Taube said.

“有时候，公众人物会推出自己的加密货币令牌，并在社交媒体上推广它，并吸引一堆炒作和一堆投资者的兴趣和硬币的价格上涨，因为人们对此越来越感兴趣，然后原始所有者将以最高的价格出售最高的价格，并将投资者拿走，使投资者与几乎一笔收获的投资相关，” Taube说。”

Experts warn these scams are even worse in cryptocurrencies because it’s extremely tough to get your money back.

专家警告说，这些骗局在加密货币中甚至更糟，因为很难拿回您的钱。

“Cryptocurrency networks don't necessarily have the sort of customer support that banks do. As far as being able to claw back fraudulent transactions or anything like that,”

“加密货币网络不一定具有银行所做的那种客户支持。就能够退缩欺诈性交易或类似的东西而言，

So what can you do to keep your assets safe and prevent being scammed?

那么，您该怎么做才能确保您的资产安全并防止被骗？

Taube suggests investors stick to established cryptocurrencies with a long-term track record.

Taube建议投资者坚持具有长期记录的已建立加密货币。

Research the credentials of the developers behind the crypto and ask questions about the investment.

研究加密货币背后的开发人员的证书，并提出有关投资的问题。

“One question that's worth asking yourself is why are they asking for the payments in cryptocurrency? Because there's a lot of sketchy answers to that and not a ton of legitimate ones,”

“一个值得一问自己的问题是为什么他们要要求加密货币的付款？因为这有很多粗略的答案，而不是很多合法的答案。”
