Common patterns
Scams frequently rely on urgency, authority impersonation, unrealistic returns, fake support, malicious links, fraudulent presales, or requests to connect a wallet and sign unexpected permissions.
Warning signs
- Guaranteed returns.
- Unsolicited support messages.
- Requests for seed phrases.
- Pressure to act immediately.
- Lookalike domains.
- Unexpected token approvals.
- Claims that funds must be sent first to unlock a withdrawal.
When something feels urgent, independently verify the project or service through a known official channel before taking any action.
