Common Phishing Tactics
Scammers use fake websites, impersonator addresses, and malicious contracts to steal funds. Always verify addresses through official sources and be suspicious of unsolicited messages.
Fake Support: Scammers posing as support staff on Discord or Twitter asking for your seed phrase or for you to connect your wallet to a 'verification' site.
Address Poisoning Attacks
Attackers create addresses that look very similar to yours (same first/last chars) and send you 0 tokens. They hope you'll copy the address from your transaction history by mistake. Never copy from history; always verify every character or use an address book.
How to Stay Safe
Use hardware wallets, verify contract addresses on multiple sources (CoinGecko, official docs), never share private keys, and be cautious of too-good-to-be-true offers. Check addresses against known scam databases like this tool before interacting.
Verification Best Practices
Cross-Reference: Check the token contract address on Etherscan, CoinGecko, and the project's official website. They should all match.
Test Transactions: Send a small test amount before sending a large sum, especially to a new address.
Frequently Asked Questions
Immediately revoke any token approvals using tools like Revoke.cash, transfer remaining funds to a new wallet, and report the scam address to relevant platforms and databases.
Yes, hardware wallets (like Ledger or Trezor) are much safer because private keys never leave the device. However, they can't protect you if you blindly sign a malicious transaction or approve a scam contract.
Unfortunately, crypto transactions are irreversible. Once confirmed on the blockchain, funds cannot be retrieved unless the scammer returns them (extremely rare). Prevention is the only cure.
You can report addresses to Etherscan, Chainalysis, and community databases like Cryptoscamdb. This flags the address and warns other users.
