Types of Scams

I saw many people got scammed/rugged/drained/hacked on Web3

(Sure I’m included before lol)

** That’s why I write this to warn everyone how to be safe in Web3**

 

You should know most types of scams occurring at

Twitter

        1.Tag you on specified tweet / Twitter Group

        2.DM you with any reason (Won WL or ETH / Fake collaboration request /Web3 Job / Game test…)

 

Discord

        1.DM you (Freemint / WL / Mod job recruit)

        2.Pretended Discord Server

=>LEAD YOU TO JOIN FAKE DISCORD & ASK YOU TO VERITY WITH WALLET,AS YOU DO,YOUR WALLET DRAINED.

         3.Announcement to launch but in strange moment

         Mostly it happends when a member who has permission to post links / announcements (Team members / MODs account hacked)

** Sure,they will ask you to connect your wallet**

 

Fake NFT/Crypto Market

Using the same GUI like Opensea / X2Y2 / LOOKSARE but wrong link to obfuscate you,make you to believe you’re using a official website

AS YOU CONNECT / SIGN IN ,YOU FUCKED UP.

 

Your Dear Friend DM you

When your friends account got hacked,and they suddenly ask you to borrow eth / enter some website you never seen

=>Call them to verify it’s true or fake.

  

MOST OF THEM (99%↑) WILL ASK YOU TO

ENTER A WEBSITE CONNECT WALLET / DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE / SIGNATURE WITH YOUR WALLET….ETC

So!! How to prevent from scams?

2.Don’t easily connect your wallet to a new website

3.Think twice or more as you see a website ask you to signature with your wallet

4.NEVER DOWNLOAD FILES/SOFTWARES from STRANGE website/you never seen IN YOUR METAMASK WALLET COMPUTUER

For wallet set-up you should have:

Cold-Wallet NO.1 :ONLY PUT YOUR IMPORTANT NFTS (DON’T USE IT TO MINT)

Cold-Wallet NO.2 :ONLY PUT YOUR ETH/USDT ,ONLY TO TRANSFER ETH TO OTHER WALLET/CEX (DON’T USE IT TO MINT)

Hot-Wallet NO.1 :Put few ETH in it,Mainly to mint hype/big projects (NON DEGEN)

And use it to trade on 2nd market,all profits returns to Cold-Wallet NO.2

Hot-Wallet NO.2 to NO.??? :Take these as BURNER WALLETS,ONLY USE IT TO MINT DEGEN PROJECTS

──────────────────────────────────

Setup Security extensions on chrome

It will remind you what may happend if you interact with the website/contract
