Scammers reuse the same handful of scripts. Recognizing them is the single most valuable security skill a crypto user can have, because most crypto transactions cannot be reversed.
The usual suspects
Fake giveaways (“send 1, get 2 back”), impersonation of support staff, fake wallet or exchange apps, phishing links that mimic real sites, and “pig-butchering” investment scams that build trust before stealing funds. Recovery scams then target the victims a second time.
Universal defenses
Never share your seed phrase; verify every domain and app independently; be deeply suspicious of urgency and guaranteed returns; and slow down. If something feels engineered to rush you, that is the red flag. Report scams to us via contact.
