10 common scams that blockchain novices must avoid, and you will avoid 90% detours after watching them

Newcomers who are new to blockchain are most likely to be targeted by scams.

You don't understand the rules, you are soft-hearted and greedy for small benefits, and you will be deceived if you are not careful.

I have seen too many novices stumble and can't get back their money.

Today I compiled the 10 most common scams.

They are all hard-hit areas in the circle, and you can avoid most of the pits after watching it.

Pure anti-fraud science popularization, without any investment transaction guidance.

Keep these routines in mind and stop paying IQ taxes.

1.

The fake official website and fake wallet APP made by phishing websites/counterfeit wallet scams look exactly the same as the authentic ones.

Newbies click on the wrong link, download the wrong installation package, and enter the account password.

The next second, the account was stolen and the assets were transferred directly.

I have friends around me who clicked on the link in the group and were deceived.

Avoid traps: Only download from official channels and do not open unfamiliar links.

Check domain names and icons, and don't be greedy for cheap benefits.

2. Mnemonic/Captcha scammers

pretend to be customer service and platform staff and come to you for information.

Either you need a mnemonic word or you need a text message Captcha.

As long as you give it away, your wallet will be emptied directly.

Regular platform customer service will never ask for such private information.

Avoiding traps: mnemonic words, Captcha, and passwords will not be exposed when killed.

3. Proxy operation/Proxy real-name scam

scammers say that they can substitute real names, set up wallets, and pass verification.

After collecting the money, you can run away, or you can directly steal the account.

Newbies feel that it is easy, but actually hand over the initiative.

Avoiding traps: Do all operations yourself and do not ask anyone to handle them.

4. Free airdrops in the scam

group, a link was sent in a private message saying that free tokens and airdrops would be received.

Click on to enter wallet information, and assets will be stolen instantly.

Regular airdrops will not ask for private information, let alone charge for fees.

Avoiding traps: Don't trust free airdrops and don't fill in private information.

5. Make money with orders.

Scam scammers call themselves gods and teachers, and guarantee to help you make money.

Gathering groups to brainwash you, allowing you to follow suit, and in the end, you will lose your money.

This is the most common harvesting routine, and novices are the most easily deceived.

Avoid traps: Refuse all excuses of taking orders and saving capital and making money.

6. Fake recharge/transfer scam

scammers give screenshots of fake transfers and falsely claim that the money has been transferred.

Or let you recharge at an unfamiliar address, but you can't get it back if you recharge it.

Avoiding traps: Everything is subject to the results of online inquiries. Don't believe in screenshots.

Do not transfer money or recharge money to unfamiliar addresses.

7. Wallet activation/unfreezing scam

falsely claims that your wallet is frozen and not activated, and you need to pay money to unlock it.

Regular wallets do not need to be activated, let alone unfrozen at a charge.

A pure money fraud routine will block money when you pay.

Avoiding traps: You don't need to pay money to activate your wallet, and you will directly blacklist it.

8. Counterfeit community/private chat scammers

create fake groups, pretend to be official customer service and group management private chats.

Send phishing links or ask for information.

Newbies can't tell the difference between real and fake, so they can easily be deceived.

Avoiding traps: Don't believe in private chat information and don't randomly click on links in the group.

9. Fake token/air coin scam

scammers issue fake tokens, boasting of appreciation and capital preservation.

Induce novices to buy, and finally directly run away to zero.

These coins are worthless and pure harvesting tools.

Avoid traps: Don't buy unknown tokens, and don't follow suit and speculate.

10. Device/software bundling scam

allows you to download unfamiliar software and bind unfamiliar devices.

The software comes with a virus that can steal account passwords.

Avoid traps: Do not download unfamiliar software or bind devices at will.

Finally, truth for novices. Blockchain

scams are always true.

Either greedy for small advantages or trusting others.

Keep the bottom line: Don't reveal privacy or click on unfamiliar links.

Don't find an agent, don't believe in capital preservation and making money.

Read more and learn more, and don't rush to operate.

By avoiding these 10 pits, novices can avoid most dangers.
