https://bit.ly/3CRcByu - 🌐 More than 2,700 people, tricked into working for cybercrime syndicates, were rescued in a major operation by the Philippine police. The victims, from China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, and over a dozen other countries, were employed in fraudulent online gaming sites and cybercrime groups. The magnitude of the operation, focusing on seven buildings in Las Pinas city, Manila, underlines the growing concern of the Philippines becoming a significant base for such cybercrime syndicates. #HumanTrafficking #Cybercrime 🔍 Cybercrime, particularly scams, is rapidly becoming a prominent issue in Asia. Innocent individuals from the region and beyond are lured into jobs in countries like Myanmar and Cambodia, only to find themselves enslaved in cybercrime operations. This emerging trend highlights the need for more stringent measures to combat these cybercrime operations. #DigitalSlavery #InternetScams 🌐 The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has committed to fighting these syndicates, as demonstrated during a summit in Indonesia. The proposed measures include tighter border controls, reinforced law enforcement, and expanded public education about these illicit operations. #ASEAN #Cybersecurity 👮‍♂️ The rescue operation was spearheaded by Brig. Gen. Sydney Hernia of the national Philippine police’s anti-cybercrime unit. The victims consisted of 1,534 Filipinos and 1,190 foreigners from at least 17 countries, including China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand, among others. #LawEnforcement #GlobalCybercrime 🏢 In a similar event, police raided another suspected cybercrime base in May, taking custody of nearly 1,400 Filipino and foreign workers allegedly forced to carry out cryptocurrency scams. These workers reportedly faced obstacles when trying to quit, including fear of being sold to other syndicates or being penalized with hefty fines. #CryptocurrencyScam #WorkersRights 💼 Misleading Facebook advertisements promising high salaries and ideal working conditions lured these unsuspecting workers into these cybercrime operations. This deceptive tactic underscores the necessity for online vigilance and skepticism regarding such too-good-to-be-true opportunities. #FalseAdvertisements #OnlineSafety ⚖️ Muhammad Mahfud, the Indonesian Minister who handles political, legal, and security issues, has expressed challenges in collaborating with Myanmar on cybercrime. ASEAN, he says, needs to fast-track a regional extradition treaty that would enhance the prosecution speed of offenders and curb the rise in cybercrime.

https://bit.ly/3FU6dIo - 📧 Spammers are exploiting Google Forms' "Release Scores" feature to deliver scams via email. This method, using Google's own servers, allows these emails to bypass standard anti-spam protections more effectively. Cisco Talos observed a significant increase in such spam messages, highlighting a new technique in cybercrime. #CyberSecurity #SpamTactics #GoogleFormsScams 📊 The spam emails, characterized by the subject line "Score released:", are generated through Google Forms quizzes. Spammers create a quiz, use the victim's email to respond, and then use the "Release Scores" feature to send customized spam messages. This abuse of Google Forms has seen a recent uptick, indicating a shift in spammer strategies. #EmailScams #DigitalThreats #OnlineSecurity 🔗 In a recent example, victims were directed to a second Google Form to "confirm" their email address. This led to a link to an external site, part of an elaborate cryptocurrency scam. The domain for this scam site, go-procoinwhu[.]top, was newly created and saw a surge in DNS queries, indicating the effectiveness of the scam's reach. #CryptocurrencyScams #PhishingAttacks #OnlineFraud 💰 The scam site presented victims with a fake claim of possessing substantial Bitcoin through "automatic cloud Bitcoin mining." The website is designed to appear legitimate, with features like a fake group chat. Victims attempting to claim their Bitcoin are led through a series of deceptive steps, including chatting with a fake agent and filling out forms. #BitcoinScams #WebFraud #InternetScams 💸 The final step of the scam asked victims to pay an "exchange fee" to convert the Bitcoin into USD, revealing the endgame of this elaborate ruse. The Bitcoin wallet address provided by the scammers, however, had no transactions, indicating no victims had paid as of the report date. This case exemplifies the lengths to which cybercriminals will go to conduct scams, reinforcing the adage that if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Cryptocurrency Scams in India: How to spot Crypto scam, avoid and protect your money

Representative imageNotwithstanding regulatory uncertainties, the crypto craze is increasing rapidly in the country. As crypto-assets continue to gain the attention of investors all around the world, they have also become a target for scammers who are looking to make some easy profits by exploiting individuals who would do anything to get rich quickly.Research by cyber exposure company Tenable has found that scammers are leveraging compromised YouTube accounts to promote fake cryptocurrency giveaways for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, Cardano, Ripple, Shiba Inu and other cryptocurrencies. Tenable has calculated that, across a subset of YouTube Live scams encountered in October 2021 alone, scammers stole at least $8.9 million US dollars.“The Bitcoin scams I monitored received $8.2 million in stolen funds, for an average amount of $1.6 million per scam. Ethereum scams received $413k in stolen funds, receiving on average $82,778 per scam. Finally, Shiba Inu scams earned $239k in funds, receiving on average $34,192 per scam,” Satnam Narang, Staff Research Engineer at Tenable, said.Scammers hijacking legitimate YouTube accounts to promote fake cryptocurrency giveaways are not new. However, individuals are still being duped by scammers.

Types of crypto scams and how to spot & avoid

One should watch out for crypto products offering enviable returns.“Fraudsters promise exceedingly high returns which are not backed by fundamentals. This is a big red-flag and more often goes unnoticed by many who move into crypto to make a quick buck. Phishing emails are employed extensively to lure gullible investors into providing credentials,” Blockchain and Emerging Tech Evangelist Sharat Chandra told FE Online.According to Shashi Jha, Head of Legal and Compliance at WazirX, scammers or fraudsters often make credible promises and sometimes integrate into the crypto space by using the anonymity of the internet to their advantage.Some of the most common scammer tactics are:Imposter scamsIn such scams, scammers frequently imitate government officials, corporations, or well-known individuals. These kinds of frauds are perpetrated using fiat cash. Scammers recognize that users place a lot of trust in influential voices. So they create fake videos featuring the founders and co-founders of cryptocurrencies as well as notable individuals associated with cryptocurrency companies or CEOs of companies who have promoted the use of and/or discussed the purchase of cryptocurrencies for their company balance sheets.ALSO READ | Crypto Bill 2021: 5 key questions about crypto ads, scams, taxes, more answered by Nirmala Sitharaman“The best way to spot an impostor account is to evaluate the returns you’re going to get. If a crypto offer sounds too good to be true, that’s the only red flag you need as it can be deceit,” said Jha.Cloning websitesThis can be considered the most common scam that can take place. However, a person can stop falling prey to such scams through the intimations that can depict whether the website is legit or not.“If there isn’t a lock icon in the URL bar then the site isn’t safe. Another thing to watch out for is, if an individual is diverted from one site to another while making payments. The redirect link may appear to be a legitimate site; however, a close examination of the URL reveals that the phoney URL contains the number zero rather than the letter “o.” As a result, ensuring to enter the exact URL into the browser with a double-check, becomes extremely important,” said Jha.Romance scamsThese scams exploit online dating to draw people into cryptocurrency investment scams.Jha said that to prevent being the victim of a romance scam, one should never send money, trade, or invest based on the advice of someone meeting on the internet, and never talk about the financial situations with strangers.“Ensuring to not fall into the trap of individuals that claim to have exclusive investment possibilities is very important as the scammers try to push towards the act as quickly as possible. One can be assured about a scam if a caller, love interest, organization, or anybody else demands to send crypto into their wallets. Also, one should always avoid giving out sensitive or personal information to strangers over the internet,” said Jha.It is also important to be aware and cautious before investing in cryptos. If something doesn’t feel right or add up, trusting instincts can also help.

How to check whether a crypto project is genuine or not?

One of the most simple ways to gauge the genuineness of any crypto project is to take a look at the core team behind the project. This is something that will be available on the official website of that project.“Most genuine projects would list details of their core team members and their LinkedIn profiles. Although trivial, this simple step can indeed safeguard one from jumping onto a shady project, especially with the FOMO that is usually built around such random projects,” said Edul Patel, CEO and Co-founder of Mudrex, a global algorithm-based crypto investment platform.Patel further said that the next checklist could be spending some time on the official website of the project. If the website only talks about buying their crypto token and how it will gain 100x over the next few days, that is a definite red flag.Another key checklist would be to go through the social media channels of the project. All crypto projects are active on some social media platforms. If the Twitter profile looks dead or contains a few posts over the past few months, that should be another red flag, he added

What to do if you have already been a victim of a crypto scam?

At present, there are certain organizations where one can report if already been scammed. Patel said that the first of these would be to get in touch with the exchange or platform where the scam happened. The US Securities and Exchange Commission would be another organization where investors can report scams.In India, there is no official platform to complain against crypto scams. However, you may report to crypto exchanges on which you are dealing or investing in cryptocurrencies.

How to increase the chances of not losing money while investing in crypto?

“One of the most important steps to prevent getting scammed is to do some due diligence before investing. Although it could be a bit of a task for some, this goes a long way in preventing getting scammed in the crypto ecosystem,” said Patel.Data about all crypto projects are available on websites such as Coinmarketcap, Coingecko, and Messari free of cost. Investors should try to avoid projects with very low market capitalization.One should not fall prey to look-alike websites and do not share their login password details over the phone. Two-factor authentication enabled by Google Authenticator or password managers is a safe option to avoid password thefts.Hardware wallets are safer than hot wallets. If you understand the basics of public and private key management, switch to hardware wallets for better security of your digital assets, Chandra suggested.Patel said that a good starting point should be investing in coins with a market cap greater than $100 million, in addition to all basic sanity checks.Get live Stock Prices from BSE, NSE, US Market and latest NAV, portfolio of Mutual Funds, Check out latest IPO News, Best Performing IPOs, calculate your tax by Income Tax Calculator, know market’s Top Gainers, Top Losers & Best Equity Funds.
