Crypto moves fast, and scammers move faster. Whether you're new or experienced, knowing the common traps can save you from costly mistakes.

1. Fake giveaways

"Send 1 BTC and get 2 BTC back" is always a scam. Real giveaways never ask you to send funds first.

2. Phishing links

Fake websites and emails copy the look of real exchanges. Always type the official URL yourself or use a bookmark, and never log in through a link from a message.

3. Impersonators in DMs

Support staff will never message you first asking for your password, 2FA code, or seed phrase. Treat unexpected DMs as suspicious.

4. "Guaranteed profit" signals

No one can guarantee returns in a volatile market. Promises of fixed daily profits are a classic red flag.

5. Rug pulls

New tokens with anonymous teams, locked-out sellers, or sudden hype often collapse overnight. Check liquidity, contract details, and the team before investing.

6. Romance and "pig butchering" scams

A stranger builds trust over weeks, then pushes you toward a fake trading platform. If someone you've never met is advising you on investing, stop.

7. Fake wallets and apps

Download apps only from official stores and verified links. A counterfeit wallet can drain your funds instantly.

Quick safety checklist

Enable 2FA on every account

Never share your seed phrase with anyone

Use anti-phishing codes where available

If it sounds too good to be true, it is
