Fishing is forbidden here!

Fishing is forbidden here!

Sadly, massive phishing attacks against crypto enthusiasts via their email or through fake channels in social networks or messengers still occur, as Metamask remarked.

The trick is nothing new: fake customer service agents demand that users “verify” their wallets in order to comply with KYC requirements or give a SEED phrase.

These are some guidelines to follow in order to keep your assets out of these fishers' hands:

  • Check the URL of the link you click on carefully.
  • Examine the URL of the page you are viewing after clicking a link or being redirected, and compare it to the official one.
  • The HTTPS protocol does not guarantee the legitimacy of this website.
  • Use only the project's official resources and social media channels.

The secret to safety is paying attention.
