Before learning how to buy crypto, I think we should learn how people get tricked. Hereâs what I found đ
1ïžâŁ âGuaranteed returnsâ
âPut in $100, get $500 this week.â No investment is risk-free. A guarantee is a red flag.
2ïžâŁ Fake giveaways
âSend 1 ETH and get 2 back,â often using a celebrityâs name. Real giveaways never ask you to send money first.
3ïžâŁ Fake support
Someone messages you pretending to be âsupportâ and asks for your seed phrase. Real support never needs it.
4ïžâŁ Phishing links

5ïžâŁ Romance or âonline friendâ investing
Someone you only know online keeps pushing you to invest. Be careful.
