Re: Beware of pig butchering scam

When it comes to scams, recognizing red flags is crucial. Be wary of unsolicited communications, high-pressure tactics, and requests for personal information. Scammers often create a sense of urgency to push you into making hasty decisions. Take a step back, do your research, and trust your instincts. If you feel uneasy about a situation, don’t hesitate to seek advice from friends or professionals.

Always verify the source of emails or messages claiming to be from exchanges or wallets. Be wary of investment opportunities that promise guaranteed returns; if it sounds too good to be true, it likely is.
