- Jan 20, 2022 · 3 years agoOne red flag to watch out for is if someone is pressuring you to make a quick decision. Scammers often use urgency as a tactic to manipulate people into making impulsive decisions. Take your time and do thorough research before making any transactions.
- Jan 20, 2022 · 3 years agoAnother warning sign is if the deal sounds too good to be true. If someone is offering you an investment opportunity with extremely high returns and little to no risk, it's likely a scam. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
- Jan 20, 2022 · 3 years agoWhen dealing with Bitcoin transactions, it's important to be cautious of phishing attempts. Scammers may send you fake emails or create fake websites that look legitimate. Always double-check the URL and ensure you're on a secure website before entering any personal information or making any transactions. BYDFi recommends using a hardware wallet to securely store your Bitcoin and protect against phishing attacks.
