Ever seen a message like this?
Scammers send out thousands of fake messages like this every day, and many people fall for them and end up sharing their personal information with scammers, putting their crypto and security at risk.
The truth is that online scams are very common, and one of the reasons for that is because they're easy to orchestrate, but mainly because people fall for them. This is why it benefits you to familiarize yourself with the most common types of scams and how to avoid them.
Here are some good tips:
1. Never share your private keys.
No crypto company, NFT project, or Twitter personality should ever ask for your password, personal information, or private key. Ever!
2. Check website URLs.
Scammers will often build convincing “lookalike” websites at “.org” or “.xyz” domains that trick people into inputting their login credentials or personal information.
3. Keep passwords private.
Avoid taking screenshots of your private key, reusing passwords, or storing recovery phrases in obvious places – like on your desktop.
Some other places where you can find information about how to protect yourself from scams are search engines, like Google, and of course the video site Youtube. Don't neglect your security, it's important!
Take care and stay safe.
