Tech billionaire Elon Musk issued a light-hearted yet pointed warning about cryptocurrency scams in a post on X, sharing an image that quickly went viral.
The image, credited to an online persona named Poseidon, read: "There's an old saying – If a hot girl texts you about crypto, block him."
The meme-style post plays on common online scam tactics , implying that scammers often pose as attractive women to lure victims into cryptocurrency fraud schemes.
The punchline “block him” underscores the idea that such messages—despite seeming to come from women—are often sent by male scammers trying to exploit unsuspecting users.
While humorous in tone, Musk’s post draws attention to a serious and growing issue: the rise of crypto-related scams on social media platforms.
Fraudsters frequently use fake profiles and flirtatious messages to strike up conversations, eventually steering victims toward dubious crypto investments or fund transfers—often resulting in substantial financial losses.
Musk has long warned about crypto scams, especially those that misuse his name and image to promote fraudulent schemes. His latest post reinforces ongoing efforts to raise awareness about digital fraud.
