Recognizing the Red Flags
The 'Pump and Dump' is the oldest scam in crypto. A group owner buys a low-liquidity coin, then 'signals' it to thousands of people to create a price spike so they can sell into your buy orders.
Common Scam Traits:
- Promised Returns: Phrases like 'Guaranteed 500% profit tonight!' are 100% scams.
- Urgency: 'Buy now before it's too late!'—professional traders don't use FOMO.
- No Liquidity: Signals for coins you've never heard of on obscure exchanges.
At Yaga Calls, we focus on liquid assets and established market narratives. We don't participate in 'scheduled pumps' because they are designed to make the group owner rich at your expense.
