With the end of the year approaching, various scammers are also increasing their frequency of crimes. During this period, everyone must stay highly alert when engaging in any interactions or transfer operations.

I have compiled the 8 most common phishing scam tactics in the crypto world. Familiarizing yourself with these tricks will help you identify them promptly next time, preventing you from becoming the next victim.

Scammers' methods are actually quite limited; the key is to understand how they operate. Learning more about different cases and prevention methods can significantly improve your asset security. Especially before making a transfer, always double-check the address and verify the identity of the other party—this is the most basic and effective safeguard.

Later, I will provide a detailed breakdown of the specific manifestations and countermeasures for these 8 types of scams. Feel free to save this information and review it from time to time to prevent issues before they happen.

It's the same old story. There are indeed many scammers at the end of the year, but to be honest, these 8 tricks have been around for a long time. Anyone who has seen them probably knows to avoid them.

End-of-year scams are indeed rampant. A few days ago, I saw someone get caught by a phishing contract and go straight to zero. Saved it for a detailed explanation. It all sounds like old tricks, but some people still fall for it. Verifying multiple times before transferring can truly save your life. I just avoided a trap by asking an extra question.

End-of-year scammers are really aggressive. Just now, someone impersonated an exchange customer service representative and added me... Wait, what are the 8 types of scams? I feel like I've seen all of them but never really summarized them. Confirming the address before transferring is so crucial. My friend lost money because he didn't notice he added an extra zero. I'm a bit tempted to save this, but I don't know how long these anti-fraud tips will be useful. Scammers' methods update incredibly fast.

The end of the year is indeed a time to tighten up. A few days ago, my friend almost lost a five-figure amount to an airdrop scam, which scared me so much that I now have to double-check the address three times before transferring...

There are really many phishing attempts at the end of the year. My friend almost fell for a fake address a couple of days ago, but luckily he reacted quickly.

It's the end of the year, and scammers are really brazen. I've already been tricked once by a phishing link and don't want to fall for it a second time.

It's the end of the year, so you really need to be careful. I almost got caught by a phishing scam targeting addresses last year.
