HOW TO AVOID RUG PULLS IN CRYPTO
If you’re looking to invest in a new cryptocurrency, there are a few things you can do to avoid rug pulls. First and foremost, do your own research. Don’t take anyone else’s word for it; dig into the project yourself and make sure that it looks legitimate before investing your money.
Secondly, watch out for red flags, if something seems too good to be true or if there are no details about how exactly this project will work (or even who’s behind it), then proceed with caution!
Finally, avoid projects with no transparency whatsoever, if they won’t share their codebase or other information about how they operate with potential investors (or anyone else), then what else aren’t they telling us?
Rug pulls are a major problem in the crypto space. The impact of rug pulls on investors, developers and the reputation of the crypto space is huge. We’ve seen things like this happen:
-Losses in investments for investors who are unaware of the risks involved with trading in this market;

-Losses in trust from consumers who may feel cheated by their experience with a project or team member
IF YOU EVER FIND YOURSELF IN SUCH A CASE, HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN DO:
If you believe that you’ve been a victim of a rug pull, here are some steps to take:
-Contact your local authorities and file a report. The police will not be able to do anything about it, but they can help keep track of the number of people who have been affected by this scam.
-If possible, get in touch with other victims and see if there is any way for you all to work together against the perpetrator(s).
