My Crypto Scam Experience – Lessons Learned
I once fell for a phishing scam disguised as a legitimate DeFi airdrop. An official-looking email promised free tokens if I connected my wallet to a "verification site." Excited, I clicked the link, entered my seed phrase, and within minutes, my wallet was drained of all my ETH coins.
What I Learned:
1. Never Share Your Seed Phrase: Legitimate projects will never ask for it.
2. Verify Links: Always check URLs and use bookmarks instead of clicking email links.
3. Slow Down: Scams prey on urgency. Take time to research before acting.
Now, I use a hardware wallet, enable 2FA, and double-check everything. Sharing my story helps others stay safe—always.
