🚨 Watch Out for Phone Scams: Imposters Claiming to Be Exchange Partners



Don't fall for it. Scammers are calling users pretending to represent major exchanges, trying to redirect you to fake chat groups where they'll drain your wallet. This tactic is becoming increasingly common in the crypto space.

Here's what you absolutely need to know to protect yourself:

1️⃣ No Legitimate Exchange Calls You Unsolicited — Ever. Real exchanges will never cold-call you asking for account details or urging you to move funds. If someone claiming to be from an exchange is calling you, it's 100% a scam. Period.

2️⃣ Official Channels Only — Any legitimate communication from exchanges comes through verified official channels: their website, registered email addresses, or in-app notifications. Never trust external links or phone numbers.

3️⃣ Verify Everything — When in doubt, hang up and contact the exchange directly through their official website. Don't use numbers or links from the caller. Always verify independently.

Your assets are your responsibility. Stay paranoid, stay safe.

Stay calm. The collateral trigger mechanism for this type of scam is actually that simple... The probability of accepting a stranger’s call and transferring funds = 100% liquidation risk, the data is crystal clear.

This is an old trick; I've heard too many liquidation stories that all start the same way. A single phone call can trick someone in—systemic risk, everyone.

Here we go again? I've been scammed once before. Now I just hang up when I receive a stranger’s call, no explanation.

Private keys should be treated like anti-fraud measures; you really can't be careless.

Coming back with this again? I was scammed the same way last time. Please really don't answer calls from strangers, everyone.

Here we go again? I'm already tired of it. That's the way the crypto world is—every day someone wants to harvest the new investors.

Haha, here we go again. I stopped taking unknown calls a long time ago... I hang up immediately when I hear the exchange's name.

Coming with this again? I've been fooled once already. Now I just hang up when I get a call, and I don't say anything no matter what they ask.
