🔥 Crypto scam survival manual: Newbies, remember these 8 points to avoid 99% of the pitfalls!
⚠️ First, look at painful lessons
Someone was scammed out of all their USDT by "exchange customer service"
Someone followed a 'teacher' and lost their down payment buying a worthless token
Someone clicked a link and authorized their wallet, getting instantly robbed
（At the end, we'll give you a scam prevention toolkit）
🚨 Must-know 6 classic scams
1️⃣ Fake exchange phishing
👉 Features: High imitation Binance/OKX official site, 'international version' not found in app stores
✅ Avoid pitfalls: Only download apps from the official website, and bind Google verification immediately after installation
2️⃣ Air token pig slaughter
👉 Pitch: "Private placement quota internal group" "Next week will go to a certain exchange"
✅ Avoid pitfalls: Check the token contract address (not on small numbers/CoinGecko verification)
3️⃣ Beautiful women/teachers leading trades
👉 Trick: Social platform chit-chat → Pull into a group to show profit charts → Induce deposits
✅ Avoid pitfalls: Remember, real big shots won't actively add you on WeChat!
4️⃣ Wallet authorization scam
👉 Scenario: Airdrop/lottery requires wallet connection → Malicious contract transfers assets away
✅ Avoid pitfalls: Use 'Revoke.cash' to periodically clean up unnecessary authorizations
5️⃣ Fake airdrop phishing
👉 Pitch: "Claim airdrop worth $5000 of XXX"
✅ Avoid pitfalls: Real airdrops will never ask you to transfer money first!
6️⃣ Impersonating official personnel
👉 Features: Twitter DMs asking for verification codes/mnemonic phrases
✅ Avoid pitfalls: Officials never proactively DM users!
💡 Scam prevention mantra: Three don'ts and three checks
🔥 Three don'ts principle
Do not click on unfamiliar links (especially those with strange suffixes)
Do not give anyone your mnemonic phrases/private keys
Do not believe promises of 'guaranteed profits'

Check contract address: Use Token Sniffer to see if it’s a scam
Check community reviews: See real user discussions on CoinMarketCap
🛡️ Security toolbox (recommended to bookmark)
Anti-phishing plugin: Scam Sniffer (automatically blocks scam websites)
Contract inspection: DeFiLlama checks project TVL, Token Unlocks checks token unlocks
Authorization management: Revoke.cash periodically cancels wallet authorizations
Information verification: SlowMist MistTrack tracks suspicious addresses

Playing dead strategy: In a bear market, invest in mainstream BTC, avoid meme coins
