Rug Pull vs Scam

A crypto scam in which developers attract investor funds then abruptly drain the liquidity pool or dump their token holdings, leaving investors with worthless assets. Detectable in advance: check liquidity lock status, contract audit results, and whether top wallets hold an excessive percentage of supply.

A scam is a fraudulent scheme designed to deceive cryptocurrency users into voluntarily sending digital assets to scammers or revealing sensitive information like private keys, exploiting human psychology rather than technical vulnerabilities.
