Digital Asset and “Crypto” Investment Scams – Investor Alert
Sept. 1, 2021

The SEC’s Office of Investor Education and Advocacy (OIEA) and Division of Enforcement’s Retail Strategy Task Force (RSTF) remind investors to watch out for investment schemes involving digital assets and “Crypto.”

Fraudsters continue to exploit the rising popularity of digital assets to lure retail investors into scams, often leading to devastating losses. “Digital assets” include crypto-currencies, coins, and tokens such as those offered in so called initial coin offerings (ICOs). Investors may be less skeptical of investment opportunities that involve something new or “cutting-edge,” or may get caught up in the fear of missing out (FOMO). For example, some investors may have FOMO, given the rise in price of some digital assets in recent years, that they will miss an opportunity to become very wealthy. If you are considering a digital asset-related investment, take the time to understand how the investment works and to evaluate its risks. Look for warning signs that it may be a scam.
