4. Rug Pull

   A scam tactic perpetrated against crypto traders and investors, that results in all investment funds disappearing without a trace. The scam usually takes the shape of scammers setting up a brand new coin that promises instant gains or too-good-to-be-true scenarios.

The fraud materializes when the founders of the coin disappear without notice, taking all investor funds with them.
