How to avoid being a victim:
- Always be alert: Don't be too quick to click on any link that is sent to you by email of message... If it claims to be from a certain financial company, always think to know if you really have an account or business with that company
- Check email address: Most of the emails they use to send these attacks are false... They may look real but if you look closely at them you will discover that there are errors ... Example could be double letters or calligraphy of different fonts....
- Check grammar: Some of these phishing messages have a lot of grammatical errors that a top tier company wouldn't have so be sure to check carefully.
- Suspicious links: These messages often carried suspicious links that claims to be legit and asks you to login...
The link too have errors ... It could be the extension of the domain or the calligraphy... - Check your wallets and Exchanges: If you have an account with the said company either a wallet or and exchanges, you should have their official apps on you phone. Verify any transaction or issue with these apps to avoid getting scammed.
I hope this has given y'all some enlightenment and if there is any contribution to this post, I will gladly add it.
There are so many ways to avoid being a victim of phishing scam.Once you notice something suspicious(phishing scam),the best you can do is to ignore,delete or archive the message sent to you from a scammer.I created a thread last year where metamask users were sent a mail to verify their wallet otherwise it would be
suspended,how on earth would a non-custodial wallet send you a mail when they don't have your personal information.A phishing scam will always look suspicious because if you're not asked to download an attachment then it's all about verification.Don't complete any task from a link sent to you on your email,if there's any need of receiving information the information I'll pop up in your notification bar for those of us using centralized exchanges.
