Quick answer
Crypto scams promise unrealistic returns, impersonate exchanges with fake security alerts, or ask you to send funds first to 'unlock' earnings. Legitimate exchanges do not contact you out of nowhere with investment opportunities.
What Our Tool Checks
Investment return promises (above 20% are unrealistic and a red flag)
Upfront payment to 'unlock' or 'activate' earnings
Exchange impersonation (Coinbase, Binance, Kraken) with fake security alerts
Romance + investment hybrid patterns
Requests for wallet seed phrase or private key
Common Warning Signs
Guaranteed daily or weekly percentage returns
Asked to send crypto to receive more in return
Account 'frozen' — requires a deposit to unlock
Exchange alert with a non-exchange domain link
Contacted via Telegram, Instagram, or WhatsApp with an investment opportunity
What Not to Submit
To protect your privacy, never paste these into any tool — and never submit passwords, OTPs, card numbers, bank logins, or private IDs.
Your wallet seed phrase (12 or 24 words) — ever, to anyone
Private keys or wallet passwords
Personal ID to an unverified exchange or individual
What to Do If Something Looks Suspicious
Never send crypto based on a promise of returns — there is no mechanism that guarantees profit
Verify any exchange alert by logging in directly at the exchange's official URL
Report crypto scams to IC3.gov (US) or Action Fraud (UK)
If you shared a seed phrase — move your funds to a new wallet immediately
