đ¨ Stay Safe: Spotting & Avoiding Crypto Scams! đŤ
The crypto world is full of innovation, but unfortunately, it also attracts bad actors looking to exploit newcomers. Protecting your assets starts with being able to spot and avoid common crypto scams! Your vigilance is your first line of defense.
Here are red flags and common scam tactics to watch out for:
"Too Good To Be True" Promises: If an investment guarantees impossibly high returns with no risk, it's a scam (e.g., "double your BTC in 24 hours").
Phishing Attacks: Fake websites, emails, or social media accounts impersonating Binance or other legitimate platforms to steal your login credentials or seed phrase. ALWAYS check URLs carefully.
Impersonation Scams: Someone pretending to be a Binance support agent, a famous crypto personality, or a government official asking for your private keys or to send them crypto.
Pump-and-Dump Schemes: Coordinated efforts to artificially inflate a coin's price (pump) only to sell off at the peak, leaving late investors with worthless assets.
Malware/Ransomware: Unsolicited software downloads or links that install malicious code to steal your crypto.
Always remember: NEVER share your private keys, seed phrase, or 2FA codes with anyone. Binance support will never ask for this information.
Stay skeptical, stay safe, and always DYOR!
