Telegram handlers look at the username, not Bio. Pay attention to the scammers to telegram handle the admin in the bio.
Always follow the announcement channel (Announcement) and Pinned message to verify the information.
Always make sure that you are receiving email from the correct email address and are publicly announced on the announcement and pinned message channel. Check email.
Always make sure that you have access to the website correctly. Please note: thekep.vip else thekey.vin or thekey.vi; Apex.chinapex.com else chinapex.co; neonexchange.org else neonexchange.info.
Most of the contributors are smart contract. Be careful to check from etherscan that it is a smart contract address rather than an individual address.
If there is any doubt, immediately ask the admin on the information channels such as telegram, Slack.
