These platforms often employ sophisticated social engineering tactics and fake credentials to solicit investments, steal private keys, or harvest personal data. They are designed to appear credible, leading unsuspecting individuals to believe they are interacting with a trustworthy service. Such operations are a common vector for crypto-related financial losses.
