We believe education is one of the most powerful tools in the fight against fraud. In this article, we’ll explore the most common crypto scams, how to spot them, and what steps you can take to protect yourself.



Common Cryptocurrency Scams




  2. Phishing Attacks

    Scammers often impersonate Binance$ETH

    through fake websites, emails, or messages on social media. These phishing attempts aim to trick users into giving away their login credentials or private keys.



  4. Impersonation Scams

    Fraudsters may pose as Binance representatives or influencers offering investment opportunities, giveaways, or technical support. Remember: Binance staff will never ask for your password or funds.



  6. Pump and Dump Schemes

    These scams involve hyping a coin through false information, artificially inflating its price, and then selling off their holdings, leaving victims with losses.



  8. Fake Investment Platforms

    Some websites promise guaranteed returns on crypto investments. These platforms often look professional but are designed to steal user funds.



  10. Romance Scams

    Scammers build online relationships and then convince victims to invest in fake crypto schemes, often vanishing once money is transferred.



How to Spot a Scam



  • Check URLs carefully — always ensure you’re on the official Binance domain.


  • Be skeptical of messages offering guaranteed profits or asking for urgent action.
