🚨 Common Types of Crypto Scammers

1. Fake Investment Platforms / Trading Gurus

• Promise guaranteed high returns (e.g., “Turn $100 into $10,000 in 7 days”).

• Ask you to send crypto to them, then disappear.

• Often pose as “mentors” on Telegram, WhatsApp, Instagram, or TikTok.

🔴 Red Flags:

• “100% guaranteed profits”

• Refuse video/voice calls

• No verifiable trading history

• Want you to pay before showing results

2. Fake Wallet or Exchange Links (Phishing)

• You get sent to a site that looks like Binance, Coinbase, or Trust Wallet, but it’s a fake.

• Entering your info gives them control of your wallet.

🔴 Red Flags:

• Slight spelling errors in links (e.g. binence.com instead of binance.com)

• Random DMs with links or “airdrop” offers

• Fake 2FA pages asking for seed phrase

⸻

3. “Recovery” or “Unlock” Scams

• They claim they can recover lost funds or unlock stuck wallets.

• They charge an upfront fee — and vanish after.

🔴 Red Flags:

• Say they work with Binance, FBI, or Blockchain.com

• Ask for seed phrase or access

• “We’ll send your funds after a security deposit”

⸻

4. Airdrop & Giveaway Scams

• You’re told you won free crypto — but must pay a “fee” or connect wallet.

• They drain your wallet using smart contract tricks.

🔴 Red Flags:

• “You’ve won an airdrop!” without joining anything

• Requests for wallet connection

• High-value “prizes” with small fees
