In an era of rampant fraud and hackers, prevention in the cryptocurrency circle is essential

People often post various links on platforms such as Telegram and Twitter, claiming that they can participate in activities, receive airdrops and other attractive benefits. However, there are many fraud links. Once you accidentally click on them, the scammers may steal your wallet private key or trick you into authorizing transfers through these links, resulting in the transfer of all the assets in your wallet.

What may happen if you click on a fraud link:

1. The scammer steals your wallet private key and then transfers all the balance in your wallet.

2. The scammer tricks you into authorizing or confirming the transfer operation, thereby directly transferring the assets in your wallet.

How to prevent fraud links:

1. Before clicking on any link, be sure to confirm again and again whether the source of the link is reliable. Do not click or authorize any operation before you are completely sure of its safety.

2. If you find that the source of the link is unsafe, avoid it immediately and do not authorize or sign.

3. For links that must be opened but are not sure of their safety, you can first create an empty wallet to try to avoid losses.

Common tactics used by scammers:

Scammers will create imitation accounts that are very similar to official accounts, and then post fraudulent tweets under tweets posted by official accounts. These tweets often describe common activities of some projects and attach a fake official website link. Once the user clicks in, they will be tricked into authorizing their wallet, which will result in all assets being transferred away.

In short, don't be greedy for small profits, stay calm and don't panic!
