Scam Prevention... new methods from scammers (Patreon)
Content
As crypto prices rise, scammers become more aggressive-sometimes multiple scammers target the same person at once.
Recently, a member was pressured by two scammers at the same time. Thankfully, he protected his assets by moving his funds to his brother - before the scammers could access anything. Genius move!
HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF
I will NEVER reach out 1 on 1... NEVER! I d all in public.
Never give your crypto, wallet info, or private keys to anyone-no matter how convincing they seem.
No legitimate admin or group leader will ever contact esp not COINBASE or Google support etc . They have no customer service. There are literally thousands of scammers calling people everyday pretending they are Coinbase. I get 3 calls a week even after publishing their scam method video - a must watch video to get inside their heads https://youtu.be/BDK8BRf252k?si=anub2WbVZVcjzQIV
Always keep your security tight: use strong, unique passwords, enable two-factor authentication, use a YuBiKey and never click suspicious links.
If you feel pressured or rushed, stop and take 24 hours to verify-scammers are scammers - they often use urgency to trick you.
Store most of your funds in a secure, offline (cold) wallet, and keep backup copies of your recovery phrase in a safe place.
If in doubt, ask trusted sources and again -never respond to private requests for crypto.
