Recently, more people have fallen for phishing scams!
One user lost $3.05 million due to signing a phishing transaction. The victim mistakenly transferred aEthUSDT tokens to a malicious contract, causing their hard-earned assets to vanish in an instant. These types of phishing scams specifically target cryptocurrency users, just like telecom fraud preys on ordinary people, making it hard to defend against.
Why do people keep getting caught?
Cryptocurrency transactions require signature authorization, and scammers forge fake transactions, leading you to unknowingly authorize transfers. Moreover, cryptocurrency transfers are irreversible, so once a mistake is made, the money cannot be recovered, making it harsher than traditional telecom fraud.
To avoid these traps, remember:
Slow sign: When faced with a transaction signature, don't rush to confirm; first, verify the contract address and transaction details. If unsure, don’t sign.
Use tools: Install anti-fraud extensions like ScamSniffer, which can help you identify phishing contracts, acting like a “safety filter” for transactions.
Learn more: Visit platforms like unphishable.io to learn about fraud prevention, understand the common tactics used by scammers, so you won't panic next time you encounter them.
The cryptocurrency market is bustling, but scammers are also gathering.
Don’t let a moment of carelessness become the “trigger” for asset loss. Protect your wallet and don’t give phishing scams a chance! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
