CoinGecko CEO Bobby Ong warned the crypto community about a fake summit scam impersonating the company and using Booking.com to collect payments. Scammers created a fraudulent event page and sent fake hotel booking links to lure victims into paying for non-existent conference accommodations. Ong clarified that CoinGecko is not hosting any such event and urged users to verify official sources before making bookings or payments to avoid falling victim to phishing or financial fraud.
