How to Spot Crypto Scams: Protecting Yourself in the Digital World

Great — here’s article #3:

As crypto adoption grows, so do the scams. Every day, thousands of people lose money to fake projects, Ponzi schemes, and phishing attacks.

At Zinlas Crypto Academy, we believe education is your best defense. Here’s how to protect yourself and your crypto investments from common scams.

Red Flag: Promises of guaranteed returns like “Double your money in 24 hours!”

Reality: No legit crypto project will promise profits. If someone says you’ll get rich fast — run.

✔️ Tip: Stick with real projects that have a working product, clear use case, and a professional team.

Red Flag: Someone on social media claims to be a celebrity or crypto guru and offers to manage your wallet or trade for you.

Reality: Real influencers don’t DM you for money.

✔️ Tip: Always check usernames and look for verified accounts. Even better — ignore unsolicited messages.

Red Flag: You get a message asking you to click a link to “verify” your wallet or claim airdrops.

Reality: These links often lead to fake websites that steal your login info or seed phrase.

✔️ Tip: Bookmark trusted crypto websites. Never enter sensitive info through a random link.

Red Flag: Someone invites you to a group where they promote a secret “investment platform.”

Reality: Many of these platforms are fake and disappear after collecting money from users.

✔️ Tip: Don’t send crypto to people or platforms you haven’t verified. Ask in trusted communities before making any move.

Most scams work because people don’t know what to look for. The more you learn, the harder it is for scammers to trick you.
