Crypto scams

8 minute read · beginner

Common patterns: fake claim sites, cloned wallets, impersonation of support staff, giveaway replies, and 'limited time' countdowns with no official source.

JC never uses fake countdowns, fake user counts, or guaranteed reward claims. If another site does, leave.

A contract that asks for your seed is not a contract. It is theft.

If you signed something you did not understand, move remaining funds from a new wallet with a new seed, on a device you trust, after you have stopped interacting with the site.

Wallet safety

Always verify links through the project's official channels. Never provide your seed phrase or private key.
