⚠️ Common Crypto Scams You Should Watch Out For:
1️⃣ Fake Investment Platforms
Websites like Tornwex, BitBank, and other “high-return” schemes promise to double your money.
Once you deposit, they vanish — or freeze your withdrawal.
2️⃣ Phishing Links (Fake Wallets & Airdrops)
Scammers send links through Telegram, Twitter, or even Binance comments.
When you connect your wallet, they drain all your tokens.
3️⃣ Impersonation Scams (Fake Admins/Support)
You’ll receive DMs from people acting like “Binance Support” or “Crypto Experts”.
They ask for your private key or offer to help you — and steal everything.
4️⃣ Pump and Dump Coins
Influencers pump unknown tokens, make you buy, then dump them — leaving you with nothing.
🧠 How to Protect Yourself:
✅ DYOR (Do Your Own Research)
Always verify platforms before investing. A fancy website ≠ legitimacy.
✅ Use Official Apps Only
Download wallets or exchanges from the Google Play Store or App Store, not random links.
✅ Never Share Your Seed Phrase
Even Binance or Trust Wallet will never ask for your recovery phrase.
✅ Avoid Unknown Airdrops
If it's too good to be true, it probably is. Free tokens may come with malware or drainers.
