<p>For the past several months, the non-fungible token market has suffered a brutal downturn, which left many non-fungible token collections shielding more than 80% of their floor price values. The recently ended market downturn has chased away both crypto investors and scammers alike. Since the NFT market is rebounding, the non-fungible token investors, scammers and hackers have resurfaced.</p>

<p>Rug Pull is one of the common NFT Scams that happens when promoters create a buzz on social media over a project, making new investors heated in investing in this particular project. Once the price goes up, the project gets abandoned and the investors’ funds are fully gone. To avoid this type of scam, users are advised to conduct due diligence in the developing team to make sure they are well-known and reputable in the crypto community.</p> 
<p>Phishing is another common scam in the NFT market. This type of scam usually involves fake websites and pop-ups. In this case, hackers send fake links through social media, and email to collect information on your private wallet keys. After they get your data, your assets are at high risk. To stay safe from this form of scam, users are advised to always use verified websites for NFT transactions.</p>
