Summary
Avoid sending/depositing cryptocurrency to unknown users/unverified platforms.
All cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible and cannot be refunded once paid or sent out of the wallet. Cryptocurrency transactions do not work like debit/credit cards, users cannot file for a dispute or chargeback after sending a payment.
General advice to avoid scams
Never trust anyone reaching out via Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Discord, WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber, LinkedIn or any other social platform pretending to be a trader promising any investment profit or friend asking for funds.
Never trust anyone promising returns on investment. 10/10 cases these are fraudsters trying to steal funds.
Never send funds to an anonymous person claiming a payout after receiving a transaction fee.
There are many fake trading websites that can be created by anyone. A user must read website Trustpilot reviews before transacting.
Never reveal your 12 words recovery phrases or QR code containing this information to anyone.
Never respond to fake emails mentioning received payouts from financial services companies like (PayPal, Revolut, Blockchain.com, Bitcoin.com, etc.) that ask for funds.
Avoid depositing crypto to mining trading platforms without proper investigation - many of them are fake.
