Recently, I noticed a phenomenon: as the global economic outlook declines, liquidity in the digital currency market is also under pressure. In this environment, various scammers have become more active.



Previously, organized telecom scams mainly operated in northern Myanmar, but now their methods have fully upgraded. Phishing links on WhatsApp, fake airdrop alerts, impersonating exchange notifications—these tactics have become common threats worldwide. As the year-end approaches, such cases are occurring more frequently.

Since entering the crypto space, my awareness of privacy and fund security has increased significantly. Digital assets are different from traditional finance; once attacked or scammed, recovery is extremely difficult. Therefore, I want to remind everyone of a few points: do not click on unfamiliar links casually, verify any requests for identity verification or transfers carefully, regularly check your account activity, and use hardware wallets to store large amounts of assets.

The final line of defense in the crypto world still depends on each individual's vigilance. A little extra caution reduces the risk of being targeted.

Coming with this again? I've already been phished once before. Now I just block any unfamiliar links directly.

End of the year, various scammers are indeed rampant. I almost got caught by a phishing link. Hardware wallets are really a must-have; the cost of being lazy and not bothering is too high.

Scamming is really getting more and more aggressive. A friend of mine almost got tricked by a fake exchange notification. Hardware wallets really need to be taken seriously. Storing large assets there is more reassuring. This wave of scams has upgraded, and the targeting methods have become internationalized. Speaking of which, the end of the year is indeed a high-risk period. Verifying one more time isn't a hassle. I've seen several people in groups get caught by WhatsApp links before—painful lessons learned.

The end of the year is here, and scams are indeed rampant. I've been scared off by phishing links... a hardware wallet is really a must-have.

The end of the year is indeed a time to be cautious. My friend almost clicked on a fake airdrop link the day before yesterday, it was terrifying.
