#ScamAlert
There are rising phishing emails targeted to Crypto and NFT investors. Scammers send emails to their targets (Web3 Emails), acting as legitimate DEX, CEX or NFT Market.
For example : Scammer acts as from OpenSea and send Email that one of your NFT has been sold. Most of Crypto enthusiastist know Openasea and many has been there to buy or list NFTs, especially people who have Web3 Emails with NFT domains. Some people even may have listings on going, so when the email comes, they might want to check. As you may already know, the email contains a link to OpenSea, but actually it takes you to fake site which created to look like real OpenSea site. As it is on OpenSea, the fake site also contains 'Connect Wallet' button and if a person reaches there and believes it is an Opensea site, they will connect as they usually do. But by Connecting with your Wallet and Approving some request, you will allow the scammers to take your funds and NFTs.
This type of Scams can come, not only from OpenSea and NFT Marketplace, but also can act as Exchanges, Defi Apps and whatever Web3 Projects people usually trust. Please beware and follow the below instructions to prevent those Scams:
1. Check the senders and verify before you are following the link from E-mails
2. When you arrive to website from email links, check the url to make sure they are your intended legitimate location
3. Check the url of the website and verify, before you Connect your wallet and approve anything.
4. Better transfer valuable assets to cold wallet, and use Web3 with hot wallet, where only assets your are going to use are in. (It will be like Current account and Saving Account, use current account for daily business, and don't let others know your Saving Account, where you store your valuables. )
Please be safe, as the crypto assets are more valuable everyday, there are more prying eyes looking to scam.
