#StaySAFU #StaySAFU

A few months ago, I was approached by someone on Telegram claiming to be from a "crypto investment group" offering early access to an exclusive token pre-sale. They had a slick-looking website, fake testimonials, and even a countdown timer to create urgency.

What caught my attention though was how pushy they were about sending funds quickly—and only in crypto. 🚩 That was my first red flag.

I decided to do a reverse image search on some of the team photos—they were all stolen from LinkedIn profiles of unrelated professionals. Major red flag #2. I reported the group and dodged a bullet.

Key lessons:

✅ If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

✅ Urgency + exclusivity = manipulation tactics.

✅ Always verify projects through trusted sources like CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, and community forums.
