Booking.com’s ’Crypto Summit’ Invitation Revealed as Phishing Scam Targeting 50,000 Investors
Another day, another crypto scam—this time masquerading as a legitimate industry event.
The Bait: Sophisticated Phishing Campaign
Scammers are sending fake Booking.com 'Crypto Summit' invitations to 50,000 potential victims. The emails look professional enough to fool even seasoned investors—complete with corporate branding and urgent calls to action.
The Hook: Fake Credibility
Using a trusted travel brand's name adds just enough legitimacy to make targets click. It's the digital equivalent of wearing a suit to a con job—still shady, but people fall for it.
The Catch: Empty Promises
No actual summit exists. Just another attempt to separate crypto enthusiasts from their digital assets. Because in crypto, sometimes the biggest risk isn't market volatility—it's believing the too-good-to-be-true emails in your inbox.
Another reminder that in the wild west of digital assets, if an 'opportunity' arrives unsolicited—it's probably trying to rob you.
