As with every bullrun, the number of scams in the cryptocurrency world explodes. Here are some tips to protect you.

Fake ICO, Ponzi scheme, Pump-and-Dump, fake cryptocurrency exchange platform, fake wallets, phishing, social engineering attacks, Rug Pulls and crypto currency thefts are just some of the scams that are taking place right now. But how to protect yourself.

There are several rules that will protect you from scams. The first is obviously never to disclose your private information to third parties. For example, your private wallet keys, your email addresses or your passwords, never communicate them. For emails, I advise you to use several addresses depending on the type of activity you will do. For example, if you participate in airdrops, use only one specific address that you will not use for other things.

Don’t believe in promises. In this time of euphoria, keep your head cool and turn away from unrealistic promises. Many people are afraid of missing an opportunity and hackers know it. False projects, urgent messages, caution.

Secure your assets and exchanges as much as possible. Ideally, you should use a second authentication method. It is also essential to use different passwords per platform, so you will be protected in the event of data theft.

Do not click on links via that you receive by message. Go to the platforms to verify the authenticity of messages. Phising is very common. Another tip, always make sure you are logged in on the official address of the site you want to log in.

Do not keep private keys of your wallets on your computer. Preferred a offline support as paper. There are supports designed for this purpose.

Beware of investment platforms that promise high returns. Typically, these are Ponzi-style structures. Sites will eventually close and you’ll never see your money again. Use trusted and proven wallets. This also applies to exchanges. Newcomers are more likely to encounter problems. Sometimes it is just scams whose purpose is to steal your cryptocurrencies.

Beware of influencers and contacts via social networks. Social media is a dangerous place to talk about money. Do not trust anyone even your contacts because you can’t be sure that their account has not been hacked or that they are themselves under influence.

In conclusion, I would say that the key word is prudence!
