Spending time on social media is a waste of time unless you have an important task to do there. You should set your privacy settings so that strangers cannot send you a private message. But even if they send, you should not respond to them. If you get offers that sound like it's too good to be true, don't fall for that. You should know that it's all scam.

I want to believe that people are already aware of a lot about those old crypto scams. But the scammers now coming with new tricks everyday to fool people. They come up with projects like could mining and similar things. You should always do your own research.
Here I agreed about this even this is not only waste of time its also creating feud in life as well which I recently check too many youngsters are having troubling life just because of this social media even we are also having many positive aspects as well but still life is not easy due to this because few scammers are creating lucrative ideas and things which are having eye side of the many new generation peoples, and then they are trying to achieve them.
In most chances things like these are not having any solid base or project but due to these scammers it's circulating and then having some negative aspects which are giving headache to families and communities, but sadly we are fail to stop them due to beyond boundaries.

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.


Caution should always been our heart beat when operating on some unknown link mostly when is coming from social media platform because most of the scammers it's there root and source of operations.
One just need be careful because there nature if operations has no season, though we can say that they operate most when the see rises bin the crypto space but there pattern has changed they work with all season they are working out different modelity just to capture their victims but one must also be tactical enough to identify them before time by always awaking the caution spirit of avoiding airdrop on social media such as telegram, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc except the project or airdrop is from a trusted person or source.

It cannot be denied that social media is a platform that is very vulnerable to the development and number of scams that have occurred so far. Because, they can easily reach lay people or beginners in crypto more quickly and easily. There are many methods used by scammers, both modern ones and types of scams that have been going on for a very long time. And there are still people who are trapped by this scam. Unfortunately it never seems to stop.

Beginners or people who are really greedy and want instant results are usually one of the easiest targets for scammers. especially if the scam project is under the guise of hype coins and is spread or promoted by certain influencers, oh never mind, this will be very easy to reach even more people.

Meanwhile, we cannot prevent scams. That's why we ourselves have to anticipate it so that it's not too easy to get caught in a scam. Yes, vigilance and not easily trusting people in the crypto world is very necessary and very important.

Scammers not only convince people to invest in certain projects, but they also trick people into falling for their scams. For example, if they can understand that you are not going to fall for their investment scam, they may try to trick you. There are some phishing scams which they try to apply for different users. For example, they will send you a message and they will act like they are crypto newbie and they will ask you if you can help them to withdraw their funds. A couple of months ago, a scammer asked me If I could help him withdraw his funds from his trust wallet. He ask me to download the trust wallet and import his seed phrases and withdraw the funds to his wallet. Of course he had some bad intention. Nobody is going to give their seed phrases if there is no benefit for them. I had to deny him.

I think you are very correct. Many of these scammers mostly act like a newbie seeking for help. Sometimes when I see them writing in a telegram group like they don't understand crypto, you might be deluded and want to help them when it is very clear that they are scammers acting like they don't know how to swap their coins from a particular chain to the chain they want it. People that do not understand or know about this method of scamming might be tempted to fall for the scam. One just have to be very conscious and make sure that we read books and check for new pattern many of these scammers are using to scam people that might not be as obvious as we may think.

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.
Some of their messages come with a veiled threat, giving you a short time frame and sometimes might come in the form of helping you by sending you some phishing mails, you have to be extremely careful and thorough.
Abstainance is key, Just ignore messages or mails you didn’t initiate

Scammers discover new methods every day. Who knew that scammers will pretend to be a crypto noob who does not understand much about crypto? They even spread malware to victims' devices by asking them to download a specific wallet software and links are given by the scammers. Asking for help to withdraw the crypto funds is a very old method. But they have polished it further and make it different this time. Previously they were sending message to a random person saying I am in a vacation or I do not have the fees to withdraw the funds. Please go to this website and login there with my email and password, you will be able to withdraw the funds after depositing the transaction fees. LOL. I guess you heard about it before.
