In today's digital world, where technology is advancing at a rapid pace, it is crucial to stay vigilant and informed to protect oneself from scams, misinformation, and fake publicity.


It is essential to be aware of these issues to avoid falling prey to scams, misinformation, and fake publicity.


Fake publicity involves the use of false or misleading information to promote a product, service, or individual. It includes fake reviews, paid endorsements, and false advertising.


The internet has made it easy for misinformation to spread quickly and widely, leading to confusion, panic, and even harm. Fake news, propaganda, and conspiracy theories are examples of misinformation that have become increasingly common in recent years.


Misinformation is the spread of false or inaccurate information, either deliberately or unintentionally.


Boiler rooms... Illegal in many jurisdictions and are often associated with criminal activities such as fraud, embezzlement, and money laundering. Despite this, these types of operations continue to exist, often operating across international borders to evade law enforcement.


Scammers and cybercriminals use various techniques to deceive people, such as phishing scams, investment scams, online shopping scams, and lottery scams. They aim to steal personal information, money, or other valuable assets from their victims.


Scams, misinformation, and fake publicity are prevalent in today's digital world, with more and more people falling prey to them each day.


Scam companies often operate across international borders, making it challenging for law enforcement to track down the perpetrators. They may also use advanced encryption and other security measures to protect their operations from being discovered.


Use a trusted wallet or exchange that has built-in security features such as address verification and confirmation prompts A LBank transfer never arrived to a MetaMask despite a direct copy pasted address Just one letter O was replaced by a zero, the rest was identic 😡


Always double-check the address before sending any cryptocurrency or making any financial transactions. Check for any typos or errors in the address, and also verifying that the address belongs to the correct recipient.


A common tactic used by scammers is to trick people into sending funds to the wrong crypto address.


It's important to be vigilant and skeptical of unsolicited offers or requests for personal information. If an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is.

"pump and dump" scheme. Operators artificially inflate the price of a stock by spreading false or misleading information about the company's prospects. Once the price has been pumped, they sell their shares at a profit, leaving unsuspecting investors with worthless securities


If you suspect that you have been the victim of a scam, it's important to report it to the appropriate authorities. This can help to prevent others from falling prey to the same scam It also can help law enforcement to track down the perpetrators.


Facebook Red flag profiles... Avatars and symbols as profile images, instead of photos. Human photos from fake accounts are usually low resolution. Public figure and celebrity accounts.


Facebook estimated that 5% of its 2.7 billion monthly active users are fake at any one time. Based on their estimate, the number of fake Facebook accounts is 135 million existing on its platform. On average, the platform removes 7.7 million fake profiles on any given day.
