Common Scams

Fake giveaways promise: send one bitcoin and get two back. Nobody will ever send you double. Scammers pretend to be support staff, famous people, or friends. Fake apps and copycat websites look real but steal your coins. Anyone promising guaranteed returns is lying.

Slow-Burn Scams

In romance scams, a new online friend slowly builds trust over weeks. Then they start talking about a special investment opportunity. They show a fake platform where your balance seems to grow. But when you try to withdraw, the money is gone. This is sometimes called pig butchering.

Stay Safe

Rule one: nobody legitimate will ever ask for your seed phrase. Rule two: always check the website address before you log in. Rule three: if it sounds too good to be true, it is. Slow down, ask questions, and protect your keys. That keeps your Bitcoin safe.
