Spot a crypto scam in 30 seconds
Crypto payments can't be reversed — so scammers love it. Here are the red flags that should make you close the tab immediately.
Once you send Bitcoin, it's gone — there's no bank to call, no chargeback, no undo. That's exactly why scams cluster around crypto. The good news: almost all of them wave the same few flags. Learn these and you'll spot most scams in seconds.
✕"Guaranteed" or fixed returns
"Earn 2% every day." "Double your Bitcoin." No real investment can guarantee returns — nobody can. This is the single biggest tell.
✕"Send crypto, get more back"
Giveaways, "verification" transfers, celebrity doubling events. If you have to send coins first to receive more, it's a scam. Always.
✕Urgency and FOMO
"Only today." "Limited slots." "Prices rise in 1 hour." Pressure exists to stop you from thinking. Real opportunities don't expire in minutes.
✕A stranger messaged you first
Unsolicited DMs, "advisors," new online friends who slowly steer you to an investment app. This is one of the most common — and costliest — scams today.
✕You can't withdraw without paying a "fee"
Your balance looks great, but to cash out you must first pay a tax or unlock fee. Pay it and they'll invent another. The money was never real.
Three rules that keep you safe
1. Never send crypto to a stranger — no matter the story. 2. Keep control of your own coins — not your keys, not your coins. 3. Slow down — verify independently, and never act under pressure.
