By JonBtc | #BinanceSquare
A recent post circulated online promising to give away 1 BTC to 10 lucky winners (0.1 BTC each). While this may seem generous and exciting at first glance, itâs a textbook example of the scams plaguing the crypto space. Hereâs why you should stay alert â and how to protect yourself.

â Why Is This a Scam?
1. They ask you to send crypto first
This is the biggest red flag. No legitimate project â not Binance, not Coinbase â will ever ask you to send crypto in advance.
2. Fake or impersonated accounts
Scammers clone the identities of influencers or trusted brands to gain your trust.
3. Artificial urgency (FOMO)
Phrases like â24h only!â are used to make you act impulsively without thinking.
đĄïž How to Protect Yourself
âą Never send crypto to âget more in returnâ
âą Always verify sources and official URLs
âą Enable 2FA on Binance and use secure wallets
âą Never share your private keys or seed phrases
âą Report suspicious posts to Binance or your local authorities

đ Final Thought
In crypto, decentralization empowers â but it also requires responsibility. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Donât be another victim. Stay informed, verify everything, and act with caution.
