- arrow_rightPump & dump — coordinated buying plus shilling to spike the price, then dump on the FOMO buyers.
- arrow_rightHoneypot — you can buy but a hidden rule blocks you from selling. Your money is trapped.
- arrow_rightImpersonation — a fake "official" coin of a real brand, person, or project to steal trust.
