Scam / Phishing

Tricks designed to steal your crypto, often by stealing your keys.

Crypto attracts scams because transactions are irreversible. Phishing sites and messages try to trick you into entering your seed phrase or approving a malicious transaction.

Golden rules: never share your seed phrase, double-check website addresses, ignore "support" that DMs you first, and be deeply skeptical of giveaways or guaranteed profits.
