đHow not to get caught by scammers?
â
1ïžâŁ Personal messages
When you fill out forms to get into Whitelist, or even just following the project, you join official Telegram and Discord groups (other social networks are also possible) and then suddenly you get a personal message that "you won" or "you were selected" or shortly before the token is put on the market, you may receive a message with a token contract.
100% it will be scammers. They monitor users who joined groups and start sending personal messages.
đąNever follow links from private messages, don't reply to them and delete/block the chat immediately so as not to lose your funds.
đąYou can minimize the appearance of such messages through the security settings in the app:
âIn Telegram, we recommend banning them from adding you to groups.
âDiscord has a feature to prohibit private messages.
Don't be afraid to close and delete private messages from unknown contacts, because administrators of the projects you follow will never write to you first.
2ïžâŁ Email
Sometimes you may get a message about a prize or some other information from the project to your email.
The first thing you should do is to check the sender of the message. In 99% of cases they will say through their official media that they send out a mail to the users and they will say which e-mail it should come from.
Also we want to warn you against downloading any files from e-mails of unknown senders, even text ones, as it can cause installation of malware.
3ïžâŁ Fishing
Phishing sites are quite common.
These are copies of project sites, games or entire exchanges, by connecting to them or by signing a contract you can lose your funds. Don't be a "fish".
â You may be wondering, how do you know the official channel of a project?
â«ïžFirst, when publishing information on the channel, we always attach links to the site/channel or other official source.
â«ïžSecond, you may also find the links you need on aggregator sites like CoinMarketCap or CoinGecko (if the project is already launched, the token contract address is also available there).#BTC
