Stay safe: the five scams to know

Fake support, drainer sites, airdrop bait, address poisoning and impersonated apps.

Almost every loss starts with someone persuading you to sign something. Slow down whenever you are rushed.

  • Fake support: real support never asks for your recovery phrase.
  • Drainer sites: check the address bar, and use a wallet that previews transactions.
  • Airdrop bait: tokens you did not ask for can carry links to drainer sites.
  • Address poisoning: always copy an address from your contacts, not your history.
  • Impersonated apps: install wallets only from the links in this site's wallet finder.
