🚨 Social Engineering in Crypto: What Every Trader Should Know

1️⃣ What it is

Social engineering is psychological manipulation. Scammers don’t hack blockchains, they hack people.

2️⃣ Why traders get targeted

Crypto moves fast. Urgency and emotion make traders vulnerable.

3️⃣ Major red flags

• “Support” asking for info

• Requests to verify your wallet

• Guaranteed profit offers

• Pressure to act quickly

4️⃣ Impersonation is common

Scammers copy profiles of admins or experienced traders to gain your trust.

5️⃣ How they trick you

Friendly chats, helpful advice, slow trust-building, then a malicious link or request.

6️⃣ Golden rule

No legit platform will ask for your seed phrase or private keys. Ever.

7️⃣ Protect yourself

Verify identities, use strong 2FA, avoid unexpected DMs, and double-check URLs.

⭐ Stay alert. Crypto security starts with awareness.
