Common attacks impersonate support, promise guaranteed returns, advertise giveaways that require an advance payment, or ask users to sign misleading transactions. A copied logo or verified-looking profile is not independent evidence.
Navigate to official channels yourself and compare information across trusted sources. Avoid pressure to act immediately. If you suspect a compromise, stop interacting and seek appropriate support using independently verified contact details.
