Most common scams in the crypto world — and how not to fall for them!
Unfortunately, there are many scams happening in the market. And those who don’t understand this... will eventually lose money.
Here are the most common types of scams you need to know to avoid being the next victim:
🎣 Phishing — Fake websites that mimic wallets, exchanges, or dApps. You connect thinking it’s real and... 💸 your funds disappear.
🎭 Fake support on Discord and Telegram — They message you privately, pretending to be support from Binance or some project... And that’s it. They will ask for your seed, access to your wallet, or lead you to a fake site.
🏃♂️ Rug Pulls — Token launched, skyrockets, the creator pulls all liquidity and disappears. Tokens WITHOUT renounced contracts are extremely dangerous.
💼 Promises of fixed income — “Invest here and you will receive 5% per month guaranteed”. Nonsense. Anyone promising fixed gains in crypto wants to manipulate your money... or steal from you.
🤝 P2P with unknowns without reputation — Never do it. This is almost a sure way to lose money, especially with payments outside the blockchain (Pix, PayPal, etc.).
🤑 False promises of miraculous bots — “Put your key here and a bot will trade for you”. Need I say more? Scam.
📩 Fake airdrops — You receive a strange token in your wallet. Touch it, try to sell it, connect to a site… and that’s it. Don’t interact.
Golden rule:
NEVER share your seed, private key, or permanent approvals without knowing exactly what you’re doing. And be wary of any promises that seem too good to be true.
