Those are some great tips given on the site, but many of those are very obvious or known to us all. The best way to avoid getting phished is to google site before manually entering the site through url bar. You will highly likely get the real site from googles search engine or at least some information if that site is a scam. Secondly, make sure if you copy paste a link, make sure you are not a victim of clipboard malware. These virus usually end up changing what you have copied.

It is a good practice to always check the website addresses you visit. Phishing attacks always happen with similar written fake domain names.

very helpful statement but of course we will keep crypto assets from phishing and I have some tips to avoid that
1. always check the domain address before entering the website

The perfect solution to protect cryptocurrencies and wallets ! I personally have encountered phishing and it is an unpleasant sight !

A lot of people laugh at the fact that people fall for phishing. It can literally happen to anybody. It happens to even the most intelligent and experienced people. There's so very good advice on the OP's link. Thanks for sharing. You have to be extremely careful with any links or attachments you receive in your email. I always check very closely the email address of the sender. If you ever feel that an email is suspicious, do NOT click any links. If you think it may be real, but you're not sure, contact the supposed sender directly. Go to their website as you know how to. Ask them if they sent the email. If it was phishing, they'll be happy to know about that. They may be able to warn other users or take measures to prevent future phishing.

Thank you for the information. in fact, this is very relevant information, because I recently came across a site that had a point above the name. and it was imperceptible even to the trained eye

Phishing and scams are the main obstacle for bitcoin investors and also to other encrypted investors. It seems there are so many scams wandering everywhere. So, be careful and protect what you have. And this is really a great initiative to help those people, especially new ones to get the guarantee. This is really a very useful thing, but I think people need to pay a little more attention, then you do not have to use third-party services. Hacking has also made some companies bankrupt.

Wouldn't it be great if people had to take a "How not to get scammed" course before they were allowed to buy cryptocurrency.... or really do anything with finances.  I am constantly amazed at how many people are scammed or taken by fraud that seem so obvious.  It's sad, actually.
