CoinMarketCap warns users over fake CMC token scam

CoinMarketCap has cautioned users that it has not introduced any official token or coin, and any promotions for “CMC Tokens” should be considered fake and likely part of a scam. The warning targets social media posts, messages, or ads claiming that CoinMarketCap has issued a token, advising users to be cautious of impersonators and always contact official support when in doubt. Scammers often use trusted crypto brand names to gain quick trust, with phishing schemes and social media impersonation remaining active risks in the crypto market. CoinMarketCap’s warning serves as a reminder for users to verify links, avoid unknown token offers, and disregard any claims that CMC has launched a coin.
