A Must-Read Anti-Fraud Checklist for Newbies in the Crypto World (Recommended to Save)

In Web3, security is always the first lesson.

Many people do not lose due to market conditions but rather due to scams.

The following pitfalls are particularly easy for newcomers to fall into 👇 Digital One Agency+3Sumsub+3Ledger+3

1️⃣ Phishing Websites / Fake Apps

Links that look exactly like the official website, with just one or two letters different

Once you connect your wallet or enter your seed phrase, your assets are directly emptied

✅ Only click links from official channels (official website, official Twitter, official TG/Discord);

✅ Add commonly used websites to your browser favorites and access them from there.

2️⃣ Fake Customer Service / Fake “Unfreeze Account”

They proactively add you as a friend, claiming to be platform staff

They ask you to “cooperate with operations,” “pay a deposit,” or “provide verification codes/seed phrases”

✅ Officials will not privately ask you for passwords and seed phrases;

✅ Any request that requires you to transfer coins to “unblock/unfreeze” should be directly blacklisted.

3️⃣ Fake Airdrops / Fake Whitelists

Randomly sending strange tokens to your wallet

Asking you to click on a certain website to “claim airdrop” or “authorize transactions”

✅ Do not casually interact with tokens of unknown origin;

✅ If you don’t recognize the airdrop, treat it as non-existent.

4️⃣ Rug Pull

The team pumps the token, shouts orders, creates FOMO

After everyone rushes in, the project suddenly crashes, liquidity is pulled, and the token goes to zero

✅ Try to avoid projects that rely solely on “stories and emotions”;

✅ Check if the contract is locked, if liquidity is secured, and if the team is transparent.
