How these scams usually 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.
Always do your own research! If it looks too good to be true, it probably isn't!
Red Flags:
Beware being added to any support groups promoting or offering you investment advice or fast profits!!
Contracts that are usually unverified/unpublished,to hide their functions.
Case Of the Day: Exploiting FOMO
Binance posted an article introducing Notcoin (NOT) on the Binance Launchpool!.
Scammers referenced the article and convinced users via a popular social media app, that they could purchase via Pancakeswap using their Binance Web3 wallets for a profit.
Post launch we still see users getting scammed via fake tokens.
Always
Interacting with this contract resulted in users losing their hard earned funds to a scammer.
