Abstract
This study investigates the use of Python-based techniques for detecting fraudulent cryptocurrencies, addressing a growing concern in the digital financial ecosystem. The research methodology integrates various data science approaches, including web scraping, API integration, and advanced data analysis using Pandas and NLTK. Machine learning models, particularly classification algorithms such as Random Forest, are employed to analyze key features extracted from cryptocurrency whitepapers, social media discussions, and transactional data. By training these models on relevant datasets, the study aims to differentiate between legitimate and fraudulent cryptocurrencies effectively. The results highlight the potential of these techniques in identifying scams while also revealing challenges such as data scarcity, the dynamic nature of fraudulent schemes, and the need for continuous updates to detection models. To enhance accuracy, the study suggests incorporating network analysis and anomaly detection algorithms. Furthermore, it underscores the importance of collaboration, data sharing, and regulatory support in developing more robust and reliable fraud detection systems to protect investors in the cryptocurrency market.
Keywords: Fake currency, cryptocurrency, python, machine learning, random forest
