2. Watch out for fake websites.

Look for the "secure"  and "https" markers before a website's URL  in your browser.  If they are not there, the website  might be fraudulent. Also,  check for tiny dots under the letters in the url that could be mean the site is fake.



Https mean: Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure, if a site have it, that doesn't mean the site is legit and not fake, it simple mean the your connection with the site is private,
you can even get it for free, what you can do, is to check the Organisation that the certificate is Issued To.

 

Very true. You could get a free https certificate on sites like CloudFlare. The thing is though, most phishing sites don't even bother on getting an https certificate. So an exchange without a https certificate should automatically be a huge red flag.

Unfortunately, many people don't understand Crypto well, so malicious people are using new tactics to steal from unknowing people. While there are many upsides to crypto being unregulated (such as no infringement n privacy), it's the kind of environment where scams thrive. If you get ripped off, there is no one to send a complaint to; however, the best way to avoid scams is to stay informed!
