๐Ÿ‘ค 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.
โš ๏ธ Morality: phishing scams are very common. They exploit fear and urgency to trap users.

โœ… 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.

๐Ÿ”‘ Remember this: it's better to lose a minute checking than a fortune due to a false click.
