#StaySAFU Stay #StaySAFU – How I Avoid Crypto Scams! 🚨**
The crypto world is full of opportunities—and traps! Early on, I almost fell for a **"limited-time" token presale** with "guaranteed 10X returns." 🚩 Red flags? No doxxed team, vague whitepaper, and pressure to act fast. I walked away—later, it rugged.
**My Safety Checklist:**
✅ **DYOR Deeply** – Check audits (Certik, SlowMist), legit exchanges, and community trust.
✅ **Beware of Too-Good-To-Be-True** – High APYs, "zero risk" promises = likely scams.
✅ **Verify Links** – Phishing sites mimic real platforms—always double-check URLs!
**Tools I Trust:**
- **DeFiLlama** (TVL tracking)
- **Etherscan** (contract checks)
- **Binance Verify** (official links)
**Lesson:** If it feels off, it probably is. Protect your bag! 💼🔒
