Stay Safe in Crypto: What Clients Should Know About Scams

Crypto continues to attract innovation and unfortunately also increasingly sophisticated scams. At K33, protecting our clients is a top priority. This overview highlights the most common fraud types and how we work to keep you safe.

‍

Two Common Scam Types

‍

Investment Scams

Scammers may promise high or guaranteed returns through trading platforms, AI strategies or exclusive opportunities. They often show fake profits to pressure victims to deposit more and later block withdrawals when questions arise.

‍

Recovery Scams

After someone has already lost money, new scammers may contact them pretending to be lawyers, regulators or recovery experts. They claim they can release or retrieve funds if a small fee is paid first. This follow-up fraud is extremely common and always harmful.

‍

How K33 Helps Protect You

‍

We take client security seriously and have strong monitoring routines, trained staff and a risk framework designed to identify suspicious activity. When we believe a client is being targeted, we intervene, escalate and take every practical measure to expose scammers, including notifying relevant authorities.
Even with strong controls, no company can guarantee full protection. Scammers operate outside the regulated environment and use psychological and emotional tactics that can affect anyone.

‍

You Can Trust Us With Your Concerns

‍

We know scams can be embarrassing and stressful, and many victims hesitate to speak openly. You should know that we are on your side. We will never work against your best interests and never judge clients who may have been misled.

‍
We can only protect you effectively if we understand the real purpose of your transactions. Scammers often instruct victims to hide information from financial institutions, which is a major warning sign. If something feels wrong or you feel pressured, talk to us. Transparency allows us to act quickly.

‍

Signs You Might Be Facing a Scam

‍

• Pressure to act quickly or keep secrets
• Promises of high or risk-free returns
• Requests to pay fees before you can withdraw
• Instructions not to explain the transaction to anyone
• Unexpected contact from so-called recovery experts
• Requests for passwords, login credential, screen sharing or private keys

If any of this sounds familiar, pause and reach out to us before taking the next step.
