Phishing fraud is the most common method used by scammers. There are many methods, but they are always the same. They all send you a link that is confusing enough, encourage you to click, and then steal your information step by step. The key may allow you to authorize his smart contract.
In this case we only need to adhere to a few principles:
1. Do not click on links from unknown sources;
2. Do not expose your keys at any time (including so-called wallets or exchange customer service);
3. Do not authorize unknown smart contracts at any time.
In addition, there is another type of fraud that is worth noting. When transferring money between friends, they often use some instant messaging software (WeChat, Telegram, Whatsapp) to send their addresses, and there are many scams in this:
Deception one:
The source of some instant messaging software has big problems. For example, Teleram itself is very safe, but it only has an English version. Many friends in the Chinese speaking circle will install some so-called Chinese packages. These Chinese packages can be said to be full of loopholes. Even the wallet address you send to a friend will be changed to the scammer's address, and your friend may transfer the coins to the scammer without knowing it.
Trick 2:
Everyone likes to use QR codes to transfer wallet addresses. Now there are many QR code generation websites on the Internet. When you go to their website to convert your wallet address into a QR code, it will replace it with the scammer's address. In this way, your friend unknowingly transfers the currency to the scammer.
For this type of scam, we need to develop some habits:
Do not install instant messaging software of unknown origin or the so-called Chinese package, do not use the QR code generator found online to convert your wallet address (you can use the QR code generation function that comes with the wallet), and after the transfer address is sent, use it with Have a phone call with a friend to confirm the correctness of the address.
