Recently, YouTuber NFT Nate interacted with Phantom, an anonymous crypto trader, to learn about his money-making skills with rugging.
How a Crypto Trader Scams Users
Phantom described a simple way of making money with minimum capital, which he calls 'brain-dead-easy method.' This approach involves using high-tech tools like Pump.Fun and DogWiffTools to create and promote fake tokens. Users, attracted by high demand signals and purchase records, invest in these tokens. Scammers then use the 'Dump all' command to sell all their holdings at once, crashing the market and leaving investors with worthless tokens.
Pump.Fun Employee Arrested for Fraud
NFT Nate's video also highlighted the arrest of a former Pump.Fun employee who stole $1.9 million using the platform for fraudulent activities. He advised users to stop using the platform and withdraw their funds due to the company's ill-intentioned plans. NFT Nate noted that about 98.5% of tokens, especially meme tokens, get dumped before reaching crypto exchanges.
Conclusion
As the crypto industry develops, new fraudulent schemes emerge. One such scheme is 'rugging,' or a sniper attack, where fake tokens are created to scam users. This was made clear after NFT Nate's interview with Phantom, who makes $60K a week on such fraudulent schemes.
The crypto industry continues to face various fraudulent activities like 'rugging.' Users should be vigilant and cautious about investing in new tokens without thorough checks.
