It's more like I have seen this kind of threads on how to be more careful on the internet (social media) as the bull run draws closer.
Well it's a good one to increase the awareness of people to secure themselves from internet scammers wondering about looking for people to scam off their crypto assets.

There are lot more measures to follow that needs to be included in the list but I acknowledge your effort on the few that has been mentioned above.

In the current scenario when AI has the ability to swap face and make it sound like an original influencer or a celebrity talking. It is better to research before you invest to gain double or triple multiplier. The best you can do is to avoid them.

Wow! have you seen cases like that? People talk a lot about deep fake but afaik it is easy to detect whether a video is real or generated by a computer, looking at the detail (like something strange in the eyes, hair, ears...).

Do you mean that the state of the art has developed so much that the new videos are indistinguishable from the original ones? or was it just a warning about what is to come? as if the use of the new technologies by scammers was not enough, it seems that security is a never ending unfinished business especially in crypto.

Beware, newbies, and not so newbies.

As the USD value of Bitcoin rises, you would now come accross numerous posts accross multiple social media platforms and Chat apps. They as in the the scammer would offer anyone with lucrative offers.
It's very good if you are more observant and clever than them (fraudsters), you have to know that chat rooms, whatever the type of application, have always been used as a den of crime, Worse and their actions were too enthusiastic when Bitcoin was created, please never believe anything said in chat applications that say they are making a profit in the Crypto market or Bitcoin in general.

You need to be careful, the internet space in the chat section is a home for fraudsters, be careful when judging strangers and always get outside information in any case.

This is the time we're scammers are beginning to show case their intellect in trying to scam people by all means, yes they are smart but we need to be smarter than them. I am happy for OP creating this awareness as many might have not heard of this tactics which they now deploy to scam people.

The worst of them can be that of airdrop, still in shock as many people still desire to do airdrop, some even engage in airdrop with their wallet which they used in holding their investment and some still give access to this scammers very bad. We should be ready at all times to know when conversing with a scammer and avoid giving any valid information that will cost us our money.

The biggest one would be to make you realise that you can use multiple avenues for your portfolio to get a big push, if you allow them to handle it. Next, it would be airdrops which will ask you to surrender your Private Key in the end after going  through their requisite.

Another one would be a pump and dump group showing you how much they make a profit everyday through paid signals
In the end it would be a project copying others or a new one trying to cash on the trend.


Airdrops are already on the horizon, many new projects are beginning to be birth this bullish period most of which are just trap to collect money from gullible newbies to enrich the skilled traders. I wouldn’t say airdrops are totally useless but comparing the success of them and the time and risk associated with them, it would be better to avoid them. If one must go in then make sure you’re not connecting your wallet which saves your funds to the DApps (your wallet shouldn’t in the first place be on an online phone).

As for trading, my advice has always been stop chasing signals, grow gradually with knowledge and stick to long term investment and probably grow gradually with knowledge.

Ignore strangers is a good prevention.

If you receive DMs from strangers which relate to money and "Too good to be true" offers, be more careful and don't send your money first to those strangers, you will lose your money.

Don't click on any link sent by strangers.
Don't download anything, any file sent to you by strangers.

Be careful and be wise when you are on the Internet and in cryptocurrency space.

You can customize your account settings and disable Automatic download file, images like on Telegram.

The time has come when understanding crypto in detail and DYOR more than earlier has become a necessity. If you don't understand anything happening in the market then stay away and do not become greedy to ride the wave. Things are not so good as they were earlier post 2021.
