“The Best Offense is a Good Defense”
Scammers are counting on investors NOT being aware of their playbook. Learning how scammers operate is crucial to protecting yourself from falling into their traps.Learning to recognize their tactics gives you the ability to be proactive, taking the fight to them by shutting down their attacks before they even begin.The Following Examples will show how scammers have been operating:
Scammers ALWAYS pretend to be admins and send direct messages offering to “HELP”.
The Admin Team will NEVER DM first. This guardrail is in place to protect all members. If you receive an unsolicited DM, BLOCK, REPORT, and DELETE it immediately.
Scammers prey on investors through direct messages by escalating FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt). They exploit confusion and guide investors to sites where they claim assets will be “SAFE”THESE ARE SCAM SITESThese websites ask investors to enter their Secret Key, allowing Scammers to gain access to their wallets, attach a vault, lock them out, and off-ramp all their assets. You can prevent this by using discernment.
Scammers are always monitoring groups. When a member announces they are new, scammers will pounce and offer to help via DM. We recommend asking any questions in the chat. If you need 1-on-1 assistance, ask in the chat if you can DM an admin.
If approved, YOU should send the DM to one of the admins in the group.
eing able to recognize these scammers will help you protect your wallet and counter any attacks they attempt.Credits:
