How to avoid crypto payment scams

Most losses come from social engineering, not protocol flaws. A short verification routine blocks many high-risk mistakes.

Check every link

Never trust shortened or copied links without verifying the destination domain first.

Ignore fake urgency

Scammers push “act now” pressure to skip verification. Pause and re-check details.

Never share recovery phrase

No legitimate support team will ever ask for seed phrase or private keys.

Anti-scam habit loop

  • Verify recipient address on the final confirmation screen.
  • Cross-check support contact details via official website pages.
  • Treat unexpected DMs as untrusted until proven otherwise.
  • If unsure, pause and ask via verified support channels.
