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.

Did anyone also receive Celsius email yesterday re: second distribution for Bitcoin. I've checked with Gemini AI and it's not a scam. It's real, but the site: https://portal-celsius-network.com asked to input Coinbase wallet info, I hesitated and delayed this process. How to proceed this? I emailed them and asked for cash distribution instead. no answer yet.

Scam - Aaron Bennet talked about that in a video. The second distribution was to venmo or PayPal or whatever your original method was. I'm still waiting on my initial corporate distribution bc we got caught up in legal issue when they screwed over all the retirement accounts by forcing cash distributions & then holding the cash a year. Thankfully we won and will be getting crypto, but the onboarding process with coinbase has been a nightmare so we are still struggling with that on top of working full time... Hopefully you didn't lose funds! The second distribution was so small in comparison it's really not worth the risk losing your whole wallet by connecting to any "portal" so I'd send ticket to Celsius Distribution if you're still unsure.
