👤 The story of my friend and the fake lien


A few months ago, a crypto-enthusiast friend received an email that seemed to come from his favorite exchange. The message said: "Your account is locked, click here to reactivate it." In a panic, he clicked without thinking.
The site looked exactly like the original, but it was actually a fraudulent copy. He entered his credentials... and within minutes, all his funds were transferred. Result: several hundred dollars gone, with no possibility of recovery.
⚠️ Morality: phishing scams are very common. They exploit fear and urgency to trap users.

✅ How to avoid these traps?

1. Always check the website address before logging in.
2. Never share your private key or your seed phrase.
3. Activate two-factor authentication (2FA) to secure your account.
4. Be wary of messages that promise quick gains or pressure you to act urgently.

🔑 Remember this: it's better to lose a minute checking than a fortune due to a false click.
