Customer Support Scam<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is the most common crypto scam.<\/p>\n<p>It happens to users of Reddit, X, Telegram, Discord, and similar apps popular with beginners.<\/p>\n<p>It begins when you ask an actual question in a crypto community. Then, you get private messages from people that present themselves as customer support or group admins.<\/p>\n<p>The message you\u2019d get is something along the lines of:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cYou need to synchronize your wallet with the dApp. Have you done that?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>And afterwards, you\u2019d get a link.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t click on it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But if you do, you\u2019ll end up on a website that looks something like this:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2252\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost\/dpetkovski\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/crypto-scam.jpg\" alt=\"crypto-scam\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1076\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And when you click anything, you&#8217;ll be redirected to a screen with a textbox, asking you for your 12-24 word <a href=\"https:\/\/dpetkovski.com\/protect-your-seed-phrase-10-tips-to-secure-your-crypto\/\">seed phrase<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, finishing the procedure will give the scammer access to your wallet.<\/p>\n<h4>How to Protect Yourself Against a Customer Support Scam?<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Never share your seed phrase with anyone or anything.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s literally it.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t give away your words and you\u2019re immune to fake customer support scams.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Airdrops_Scams\"><\/span>2.

Send 1ETH, receive 2ETH.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an example of a deep fake of Larry Fink (the CEO of BlackRock) asking you to send him $BTC to get double back:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2302\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost\/dpetkovski\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/larry-scam.jpg\" alt=\"crypto scam\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The fact that they&#8217;re ongoing since the last cycle besides YouTube&#8217;s efforts against them shows how dedicated are the scammers.<\/p>\n<h4>How to handle this scam?<\/h4>\n<p>Don\u2019t send cryptocurrency to services that promise to double your investment.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t send cryptocurrency to anyone.<\/p>\n<p>Never interact with ads.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Ponzi_Schemes\"><\/span>4.
