Abstract geometric field-guide illustration of common crypto scams

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.

Educational content, not financial advice. Crypto is volatile and you can lose money. Do your own research. Crypto Ruble Coins is a news and education publication — not an exchange, conversion, or off-ramp service.
