Exclusive: how crypto scammers hunt and what to do to avoid being their dinner
When you enter crypto, it seems that the main enemy is volatility.
But over time you realize: the real enemy is Dima from Telegram, who writes:
"Hello! You've won a giveaway. Click here to claim your prize!"
And you didn’t even participate anywhere.
🎭 Scammers are no longer fools.
They wear ties, have the Binance logo on their avatars, and their messages are punctuated correctly.
They speak politely, write on point, create clones of websites and bots, and most importantly — they don't hack you, they persuade you.
They make it so that you give everything to them yourself — voluntarily.
🤡 Typical schemes (you've definitely seen them):
"Airdrop from Binance" — enter your seed phrase and receive 1000 USDT.
Fake admin in the chat — asks what device you're having problems with.
Fake website — everything looks real, but you’ll be left without funds.
NFT giveaway — sign a smart contract, and in reality, you give access to your wallet.
"Invest $50 — get $500" — even your cat knows it's a scam. But people fall for it.
🚨 How they affect the psyche:
They pressure you with urgency: "The offer is valid for 10 minutes"
They catch you at a vulnerable moment: you just entered crypto or lost something in the drop
They use brands and logos — Binance, Trust Wallet, MetaMask — everything that inspires trust
🥷 And now the main thing —
how to break their teeth:
If in doubt — don't click.
In crypto, it’s better to miss out on a real bonus than to lose everything with one click.
Check the links.
The address binanse.com is not a typo. It's your future stress.
Never give your seed phrase.
Never. Not to admins, not to bots, not to yourself in a message. It’s like the key to a safe. Lost = everything.
Fake admins? Ignore and report.
Real moderators never message first.
The signature in the smart contract is not "OK", but "I RELEASE MY SOUL".
Don't understand what you're signing? Don't sign. It’s that simple.
📌 Want to be smarter — think like a hunter, not like prey
Scammers won't disappear. But you can become someone they don't mess with.
Enable 2FA, verify all links, think twice.
Because in crypto you either grow... or become chain statistics.
🧠 Remember three rules:
In crypto, freebie is a test for fools.
Whoever messages first is almost always trying to wipe you out.
You are your last line of defense. Neither the exchange nor the bot. Only you.
🛡️ Want safety — develop not only your wallet but also your mind.
📣 The article is written especially for those who want to stay in crypto not only during a bull market.
