#CryptoScamSurge - Did you fall for a crypto scam?
Crypto scams are on the rise, and anyone can be a victim if they are not well-informed.
Here are 3 key steps to detect fraud, stay safe, and know how to react if you've already been deceived. 👇
🔍 1. How to identify a scam
- Promises of quick or guaranteed profits with little or no risk.
- Sites or accounts impersonating official projects (fake Airdrop pages, YouTube, etc.).
- Requests for private information such as seed phrases or private keys.
- Artificial urgency: "Limited offer", "Act now or you'll miss the opportunity".
🛡️ 2. How to protect yourself from crypto scams
- Use official wallets and verified sites (always check the URL).
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your accounts.
- Be wary of private messages or emails with suspicious links.
- Verify the legitimacy of projects from reliable sources like CoinMarketCap, Binance, or official forums.
🚨 3. If you were a victim, what to do?
- Do not continue sending more funds, even if they promise "recovery".
- Gather evidence (screenshots, addresses, conversations).
- Report the fraud with screenshots on platforms like Binance, MetaMask, or Trust Wallet, depending on where it occurred, to prevent others from becoming victims.
- Seek help in communities or official channels, as there are often users who offer better reward projects since you can request proof of payment and how much it generates.
