Top 3 Crypto Scams I Almost Fell For (Don’t Make These Mistakes!)
I’ve been in crypto long enough to know it’s not just about charts and coins—it’s also about staying safe 🛡️. I came this close to losing money more than once. Here are the Top 3 scams I almost fell for (and how YOU can avoid them):
---
1. Fake Airdrop Links on Twitter/Telegram 🪂
It looked legit. A “Binance airdrop” offering free $BNB or $ETH if I just connected my wallet 🔗. But one thing stopped me: the URL looked slightly off.
Lesson: Never connect your wallet to unverified links ❌. Always double-check the official website or announcement ✅.

2. DM from a ‘Crypto Influencer’ Offering 5x Return 💸
I got a message: “Hey, I can flip your $100 to $500. Just send $USDT” 🤔. He had a pro profile pic and mutuals. But when I asked for proof—poof—he vanished.
Lesson: If it sounds too good to be true, it is ⚠️. No legit trader will DM you asking for money 🚫.

3. Rugpull on a Trending New Token 🪤
Everyone was hyping this new coin in a group 💬. I FOMO’d in with $80. One hour later—token gone, devs gone, chat deleted.
Lesson: Research before investing 🧐. Check if the project has a real team, use case, and locked liquidity 🔒.
