Scams & fake links

Red flags, off-platform payment traps, and safe-click habits.

Most common scam patterns

• Off-platform payments (crypto, gift cards, wire) — high risk.
• Impersonation links that look similar to official sites.
• “Verification” downloads or plugins you must install.
• Pressure tactics: urgency, guilt, or threats.

Safe-click rules

1. Use official platform links (avoid random DMs).
2. Don’t download “verification” files.
3. If something feels off, leave and reset your loop.
