Crypto fraud is definitely something to keep an eye on, and I’ve learned that the hard way. I once got roped into a "pump and dump" without realizing what was happening. The price of a coin shot up so quickly, I thought I was missing out, but once the hype died down, I was left with a significant loss. It was a tough lesson. After that, I started being more cautious and did some digging, like reading about https://blockchainlawyer.com/kyc-compliance/, which gave me a better understanding of how important Know Your Customer (KYC) checks are in preventing fraud. Now, I always look for transparency and reliable info before investing.
