Always do your own research! If it looks too good to be true, it probably isn't!
How these scams work:
Popular platforms usually post information about projects with an upcoming presale/going live.
Scammers view these posts and use social media apps to create fake support groups, impersonating the company and try to use fake websites/contract addresses to trick users.
Once you have connected to the site or decide to transfer to the contract, the scammers try to get you to place or approve increasingly large orders or ask you to send funds to an address post which they will send you tokens.
Once the user has confirmed the transaction, the funds will never be seen again.
Contracts used in such transactions are usually unverified/unpublished,to hide their functions and this should always raise a red flag in the user's mind.
These are your hard earned funds!! Always do your own research before investing!
Case Of the Day: Exploiting FOMO
An article was posted on Binance relating to $PORTAL farming by staking BNB/FDUSD.
Scammers used the article and convinced users via a popular social media app, that there would be a token listing soon and that it should not be missed.
The fake contract address was shared and users were convinced that the token needed to be bought asap to get huge profits.
They were also convinced to purchase via Pancakeswap with a Binance Web3 wallet.
This resulted in users losing their hard earned funds to a scammer.
