Lets Stay Careful and Vigilant

[Gost ms]

A person should always be aware of this. If a person is not aware, then he is a victim of all these frauds. For example, if a person or someone gives you a link, then it is never right for you to enter that link immediately. Because that link may contain malware that can hack your account. Always be aware so that these fraudsters cannot steal all your holdings or savings.

It is better not to tell anyone how many Bitcoins or other coins you have, always keep it to yourself and keep it secret from yourself and tell a person whom you trust very much so that if something happens to you, he can give your holdings or savings to your family.

Though I am not actively using the app, but still KuCoin still decided to warn me about this type of scam. I know that many of us have also received similar alerts and for those that didn't well, here it is..... We need to be very careful coz this particular kind of scam isn't just peculiar to KuCoin user alone, it can happen to anyone whatsoever, both the wallet and even exchange users respectively. Truth is that, scammers are constantly looking way ways to trick crypto users.  That is why we have to be always prepared and always be vigilant in all of our crypto transactions be it trading, investment etcetera. Coz the responsibility to protect your funds lies in your hands.....For the new comers to the crypto space, always keep your eyes peeled out to confirm any message that is  claiming to be from one support team or the other. Only communicate with customer care services in their official channels or handles. Don't click anyhow links, or links that are without http:// or even give anybody not even your friend access to your wallets or whatever platform you use to trade or store your asset.

I don't think there's no wrong with the post by the OP. The OP only shared what he felt is important and critical to the forum for the enlightenement of everyone on the forum so that people will not fall victims to such scams. Because scammers are always strategizing of new scam schemes on how to defraud people of their hard earned money so in the area of scams no none post should be enough.



This types of post reminds us all of the need to always stay alert online and be vigilant when ever we are dealing with others on any platform because you may not know who you may be dealing with.

Telegram na the easiest platform to detect scam every fast, very very fast because, it's always boldly written and pinned on every project telegram group chat that "admin will never DM you first"

If you ask a question on the group chat related to wallet problems, you'll definitely see lots of chat from impersonated admins messaging first pretending to help you solve the issue.

That's the quickest way to know scammers, they dm first and very fast.

It's painful that some users are naive to read through pin messages, it's painful causing many to fail again and again, inability to read.

It wouldn't be a great thing for you to go through the emotions of your bullish and moon era, then someone carts away with what you have accumulated over the years. So protecting your assets is yours and yours alone.

Avoid sites promising you free Bitcoin,
Avoid bait clicks on some acclaimed shitcoin sites as well,
If you are into P2P, double-check the funds received before releasing your coins.
Only discuss with their approved customer account if need be (it is your duty to verify).

Do not forget that the robbery of your crypto assets isn’t done with an armour, rather with just a click you initiated by yourself.
These little situations should not be overlooked; they might seem little, but it is better to learn from others’ mistakes than trying to experience it yourself.

Dealing with a centralized exchange requires wisdom and extreme care, otherwise one might just wake up and find he's account been compromised.Scammers aren't literally after your funds only, they can steal your login credentials and hack your account and use it for their fraudulent act.I assume that the user with the name "Alex" was a reputable customer not until he's account got compromised by hackers with intention to send deceptive messages to other customers,and people would believe because probably the account has always been known for good repute, anyways I can't just rush to judgement if the account is owned by a scammer or it was compromised.Just as the content of the whole matter says be careful and stay vigilant.

I wonder how some people can be so nonchalant about their safety in the crypto space to the extent of messaging any of the exchange app on social media, or even how can you pay attention to any message from any one claiming to be a stuff in an exchange app? Even in our traditional banks people still receive message from this scammers claiming to be from your bank and they also ask for your details especially your personal PIN that bank stuffs are not supposed to know, it's funny how people fall victim to these cheap methods and the worst part is that even after hearing these scams stories everywhere people still fall for it every time. Scammers are fond of impersonation and we should always be on the lookout and also avoid clicks that has nothing to do with you especially the ones that comes with giveaways.

The reason why you made this statement is because you are enlightened and to very large extent you know stuffs, some persons are not familiar some going on, they don't know that social media is a mess right now, scammers has decided to make it their home, coming up with different antics every now and then to get some bucks from those that are unaware of their shits.
When I see post like this one, I get more happy because of  how further it exposes those scammers who has took it upon themselves to keep scamming without conscience.
It might look funny just as you noted but in the other way, it is not because scammers has a different way of twisting people and if one is not careful, you might fall for them even when you think that you know things, I understand that the easiest way people fall for those scammers is free money but does anything like that exist, greed is a killer that we must take note of.

One thing you said that I really like and it’s just the truth about bitcoin is that “the safety of your assets lies in your hand”.
So you need to keep an open eyes. do let any mistake happen. What you do not understand please ask people that knw better than you and dont fall victim.

This can only be possible if you store your bitcoin in non custodial wallet where only you will have full control over your assets through your seed phrase, which some people can as well expose thier seed phrase to people or scammers known or unknowingly so yeah the safety of our assets lies in our hands because if you keep your seed phrase very tight and secured nothing will come before it.

The risk about bitcoin investment is basically on this aspect of storing our seed phrase because if you loss or misplaced your seed phrase be rest assured that you have loss all your assets, so it is very important to keep our seed phrase very tight and secured to avoid making unnecessary mistake.

Information like this draw my attention most, not because of my ignorance but constant been aware of the scammer free one from such victim, this scammer have different strategies, that's is while is advisable to be careful of exchange where many person information will be tender, also allowing your assets on centralize exchange mostly when the asset is reasonable or huge there will be many eyes, as centralize exchange is just a market where different person accessed holding asset there exposed it to risk and scammers attack.
