Bitget Logs 150M Suspicious Requests, Says Scammers Now Fluent in AI and Patience 🕵️

Bitget has published its Anti-Scam Report 2026, warning that cryptocurrency fraudsters are increasingly deploying AI-generated content, social engineering, and multi-stage schemes to target investors as their trading behavior expands across asset classes. The report was prepared with blockchain security firm SlowMist under the title "The Evolution of Fraud in the Multi-Asset Era" and marks the third year of Bitget's Annual Anti-Scam Month campaign.

According to Bitget Research, less than 1% of Bitget users were active on two or more asset classes as of May 2026, a figure that previously rose to more than 10% by mid-2025 as users diversified into cryptocurrencies, tokenized assets, stocks, CFDs, digital wallets, and AI-powered platforms. Researchers said scammers have adapted to this shift, layering artificial intelligence across outreach, identity impersonation, and staged engagement to extract funds over multiple touchpoints rather than single attempts.

To counter the activity, Bitget reported that its security systems blocked around 150 million suspicious requests on its platform. The exchange said the volume reflects both the scale of automated abuse and the growing sophistication of fraud operations that blend AI-driven content with traditional social engineering tactics.

The Anti-Scam Month campaign reiterates Bitget's ongoing collaboration with SlowMist on threat intelligence and on-chain forensics, and underscores the exchange's wider investment in user-protection infrastructure. Bitget has not disclosed the dollar value associated with the blocked requests or any recoveries tied to the flagged activity.
