#scamers
For all new players in the crypto world, there are a lot of opportunities to profit but also a lot of traps of loss, we are facing aggressive and sophisticated strategies from scammers trying to grab our assets straight away from our wallets.
One of the most used are DAPPs, when you connect your wallet to a DAPP you are giving the authorization or permission for transactions approving, this means a Token Approval exploit is one most common vulnerabilities of DApps. User interacts and gives approval to the DApp to spend tokens in their behalf. Unknowingly, the user provides the smart contract full access to all of their tokens. An attacker can withdraw all of the user’s holdings of that specific asset even if they did not allow such transactions to happen.
Be aware of scammers contacting you on telegram, they will conquer your trust to demonstrate how you can profit mining.
Please be aware for the following scam trap, if you are connected to it, your assets are at very high risk!!!!
It's fake mining, and fake profits, as you are encouraged to deposit USDTs for more profit, you are like a "pig getting fat" at some point the scammer will clean your wallet.

🚨 Important Alert for Coin Holders: Binance Monitoring Tag Explained 🚨
If you're a coin holder, you need to know about Binance's latest announcement! 🚨 They're adding a Monitoring Tag to several tokens, including Balancer (BAL), Cortex (CTXC), PowerPool (CVP), and more. But what does this mean? 🤔
The Monitoring Tag signifies that these tokens are considered more volatile and risky compared to others. Binance will closely monitor them and conduct regular reviews to ensure they meet listing standards. However, there's a risk that these tokens may not meet standards in the future and could be delisted from the platform. 📉
On the other hand, Binance has removed the Monitoring Tag from Enzyme ($MLN) and Horizon ($ZEN), which has led to significant price increases. 📈
Stay informed and cautious when dealing with tokens carrying the Monitoring Tag. Remember, Binance prioritizes transparency and safety in the crypto ecosystem. 💸

Scammers are everywhere, and they're getting smarter and smarter
Our job is to protect ourselves from them
My guide on how to avoid investing in scam projects
90% of newbies don't do it ⬇️
It is very Important to be careful not to lose your money
Crypto losses from hacks and scams soared by 113% in Q2 2024 to reach $572M
Checklist for identifying scam projects⬇️
1 ➔ | Do a thorough research |
Does the project actually create a worthwhile product or not?
The project must have real evidence
Working product Need: alpha version, beta version, test version - anything that confirms the reality of their work
For an example, let's take the acclaimed Grass
A blockchain-based protocol for decentralized web page analysis that provides data collection
We saw an initial working system that anyone could test and then be rewarded
2 ➔ | Who's behind the project |
Undoxxed teams can succeed, but they’re the exception, not the rule
Most successful projects have doxxed teams, where identities are public, allowing you to verify their experience
While undoxxed projects aren't automatically bad, it raises doubts if other red flags are present
In turn, it is important for us to know who is behind the project and whether they can be trusted
3 ➔ | Too-Good-to-Be-True Promises |
Scammers often reveal themselves away with unrealistic promises and constant hype, claiming huge profits in the future
Red flags are phrases like “The next 100x gem” or “It'll never be this cheap again”
4 ➔ | Сontributions |
Projects control who invests and how much they invest, aiming for an even distribution of funds
Scammers don't care about this, their goal is only to collect money
If you see unlimited contribution amounts or limits per person that are too high, this is a reason to think twice
This may indicate an attempt to raise money quickly rather than build something sustainable
Scammers are getting craftier, but if you are careful and do these 4 checks, they can be bypassed
Always research the project and take your time
Protecting your investment is a top priority

Today we would like to remind you about an old but popular deception scheme with
cancellation of transactions when fraudsters use Atomic Wallet and Exodus
Wallet:
1. Fraudsters act under the guise of a newly opened
exchanger, they sell only BTC and only for USDT or for others
stablecoins, the price is set an order of magnitude lower (minus 3-5% of the market
cost).
2. Attackers claim they are ready to send BTC
first, but they ask to install Atomic Wallet or Exodus Wallet (supposedly
they are official partners).
3. Scammers send
BTC, setting a minimum commission of 1-2 satoshi, so that the coins go very
long - after that they ask you to restart the wallet to update the data,
so that you can see the purchased BTC on your balance. After you
you will see BTC in your wallet, you are asked to send USDT within 10
minutes.
4. You send USDT...and after that BTC disappears from
your wallet. How does this happen? Fraudsters cancel their transaction
(increasing the commission, which outweighs the old one) - on Atomic Wallet and
Exodus Wallet balance is displayed immediately after it is sent to you
BTC. That is why you are asked to install these wallets.
How not
fall for this scam: always ask for the transaction hash, wait until
the transaction will be fully confirmed and only then transfer your
funds, use trusted exchangers.

🚨 Warning: 📢P2P Scammers Targeting Binance Users 🚨
Scammers are getting creative, and their latest target is P2P transactions on Binance. Here's how they operate and what you can do to protect yourself:
✅Initial Setup: Scammers start by placing an order and receiving fiat payment from the victim.
✅Scammer Tactics: They then contact the victim, urging them to cancel the order for a refund. If the victim complies, the scammer quickly transfers or sells the cryptocurrency.
✅Advanced Deception: For cautious users, scammers impersonate Binance customer support, convincing them to scan a Web Login QR code, granting access to their account.
✅Protect Yourself:
‼️Never cancel an order after making payment
‼️Verify customer service requests through Binance's official channels
Stay vigilant and protect your assets from these scammers! 💸

They want to take your money #scamers (scammers)!They are everywhere, including the crypto world.
A guy from my work was bragging recently that he had farmed $1000 in Telegram on his smartphone in a year.
My other colleague, who brought me to Binance, and I reacted skeptically, how can you get a thousand on your phone, if even some computers can't do that much.
That's not all, this would-be farmer is also going to throw $40 in there, because those are the conditions to get that thousand.
People, don't fall for this, just think logically, they ask you to deposit funds in order to withdraw your funds, so why don't they take that money from that 1000 and send you 960 and that's it, a scam!
Be careful and turn on your logic, or say goodbye to your money.
I'm not forcing anyone to follow my example!

Why would anyone invest in $HMSTR when it’s clear that the token failed to uphold fair distribution within its community? This currency promised equity but ultimately fell short, leaving its supporters feeling misled. Since its debut on Binance, many potential investors have steered clear, recognizing the lack of transparency and integrity in its launch.
From the outset, $HMSTR
approach disappointed its base, raising doubts about its commitment to community trust. The currency’s flawed rollout has resulted in a lack of genuine engagement from investors, who are understandably hesitant to support a project that seemingly misrepresented itself.
In the world of cryptocurrency, credibility and fairness are everything, and $HMSTR ’s missteps have damaged its standing. Without a solid foundation of trust, it’s unlikely to regain traction among discerning investors who prioritize transparency and genuine community alignment.

How To Avoid Cryptocurrency Scams
Scammers are always finding new ways to steal your money using cryptocurrency. To steer clear of a crypto con, here are some things to know.
Only scammers demand payment in cryptocurrency. No legitimate business is going to demand you send cryptocurrency in advance – not to buy something, and not to protect your money. That’s always a scam.
Only scammers will guarantee profits or big returns. Don’t trust people who promise you can quickly and easily make money in the crypto markets.
Never mix online dating and investment advice. If you meet someone on a dating site or app, and they want to show you how to invest in crypto, or asks you to send them crypto, that’s a scam.
Spot crypto-related scams
Scammers are using some tried and true scam tactics — only now they’re demanding payment in cryptocurrency. Investment scams are one of the top ways scammers trick you into buying cryptocurrency and sending it on to scammers. But scammers are also impersonating businesses, government agencies, and a love interest, among other tactics.
Investment scams
Investment scams often promise you can "make lots of money" with "zero risk," and often start on social media or online dating apps or sites. These scams can, of course, start with an unexpected text, email, or call, too. And, with investment scams, crypto is central in two ways: it can be both the investment and the payment.
Here are some common investment scams, and how to spot them.
A so-called “investment manager” contacts you out of the blue. They promise to grow your money — but only if you buy cryptocurrency and transfer it into their online account. The investment website they steer you to looks real, but it’s really fake, and so are their promises. If you log in to your “investment account,” you won’t be able to withdraw your money at all, or only if you pay high fees.
A scammer pretends to be a celebrity who can multiply any cryptocurrency you send them. But celebrities aren’t contacting you through social media. It’s a scammer. And if you click on an unexpected link they send or send cryptocurrency to a so-called celebrity’s QR code, that money will go straight to a scammer and it’ll be gone.
An online “love interest” wants you to send money or cryptocurrency to help you invest. That’s a scam. As soon as someone you meet on a dating site or app asks you for money, or offers you investment advice, know this: that’s a scammer. The advice and offers to help you invest in cryptocurrency are nothing but scams. If you send them crypto, or money of any kind, it’ll be gone, and you typically won’t get it back.
Scammers guarantee that you’ll make money or promise big payouts with guaranteed returns. Nobody can make those guarantees. Much less in a short time. And there’s nothing “low risk” about cryptocurrency investments. So: if a company or person promises you’ll make a profit, that’s a scam. Even if there’s a celebrity endorsement or testimonials from happy investors. Those are easily faked.Scammers promise free money. They’ll promise free cash or cryptocurrency, but free money promises are always fake.
Scammers make big claims without details or explanations. No matter what the investment, find out how it works and ask questions about where your money is going. Honest investment managers or advisors want to share that information and will back it up with details.
Before you invest in crypto, search online for the name of the company or person and the cryptocurrency name, plus words like “review,” “scam,” or “complaint.” See what others are saying. And read more about other common investment scams.
