Ripple has issued an urgent alert to its community as XRP surged to become the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. The warning comes amidst a sharp rise in scams, including fake XRP giveaways, phishing attempts, and impersonation scams using deepfake technologies. Ripple emphasized that neither the company nor its executives will ever ask users to send funds or participate in promotions. To combat these threats, Ripple collaborates with third-party experts, scans the web for scams, and shares educational resources to help users identify and avoid fraudulent schemes. Users are urged to verify information through official channels and exercise caution.
