5 Warning Signs You Shouldn't Ignore

A single red flag is a reason to slow down. If something feels rushed, secretive, or too good to be true, verify it before taking action.

Guaranteed Profits

Claims of risk-free returns, guaranteed gains, or “double your crypto” offers are major warning signs.

Urgent Payment Pressure

Scammers may demand an immediate transfer or threaten account closure unless you pay.

Fake Support Agents

Unexpected “support” messages asking for passwords, codes, or wallet access should raise suspicion.

Requests for Secret Phrases

Never share your seed phrase or private keys. Legitimate support should not need them.

Unexpected Recovery Fees

Be wary of anyone promising to recover lost crypto in exchange for an upfront payment.

Unverified Links or Addresses

Fake websites and altered wallet addresses can look real. Verify independently.

Before you send

Three Steps to Take

Build a simple pause-and-check habit before any crypto transfer.

1. Stop

Don't act under pressure. A legitimate opportunity should withstand careful review.

2. Verify

Use a trusted official website or known contact method—not a link in a suspicious message.

3. Confirm

Double-check the recipient, network, and wallet address. Crypto transfers may be irreversible.

Common questions

Quick Answers

Can a crypto transfer be reversed? ＋

Many blockchain transfers are irreversible. If you suspect fraud, contact the exchange or service provider you used as soon as possible and report the incident to the appropriate authorities.

What if someone asks for my seed phrase? ＋

Do not share it. Anyone with your recovery phrase may be able to control the wallet and move its assets.

I think I've been scammed. What should I do? ＋

Stop sending funds, save messages and transaction IDs, secure affected accounts from a trusted device, and contact your exchange through official channels. Report the incident to relevant authorities. Beware of recovery agents asking for upfront fees.

Make verification a habit

Pause Before You Pay.

Taking a few minutes to verify a request can help you avoid costly mistakes. If uncertain, don't send funds until you've checked independently.
