The recent surge in market volatility and heightened public demand for risk aversion have created an environment ripe for fraudulent activity. Scammers are exploiting this situation, launching increasingly sophisticated schemes detected by Gogolook through its digital fraud prevention app Whoscall (Whoscall), utilizing keyword detection and user reports.

These scams often lure individuals with promises of "high-profit investments" or "low-threshold loans," frequently impersonating reputable financial experts to appear credible. Victims are then manipulated into transferring funds or divulging personal information, falling prey to these fraudulent traps—a vulnerability exacerbated by the increased need for capital adjustments among many people.

Gogolook’s reputation protection service Watchmen (Watchmen) analyzed social media scam data and found a significant prevalence of fake advertisements impersonating securities firms and financial communities on Facebook; nearly 7,000 such ads were intercepted in just ten days. This highlights an emerging trend toward systematic dissemination of fraudulent information closely linked to market sentiment.

Gogolook urges the public to exercise caution by avoiding unknown links and unfamiliar investment groups. Before investing or borrowing, individuals should verify that platforms are approved by regulatory authorities and choose legitimate financial institutions—particularly those that do not require upfront payments.

In response to heightened capital needs and ongoing market fluctuations, Gogolook’s finance and consumer information platform Kangaroo Finance (袋鼠金融) has also observed notable shifts in user behavior. Since US President Trump announced tariffs on multiple countries, the overall traffic of investment discussion pages doubled from April 7th onwards, despite stock declines.
