For digital investment and creativity, NFTs have opened doors. Moreover, now artist can connect directly with the fans and sell their art. For collectors who are not artists but collect great NFTs, they can collect rare items digitally. Also, traders can trade, and gamers can also sell their digital assets in the game. But there is a scam too, which we are going to talk about here.
New users should need to understand the game of scammers and avoid FOMO because FOMO is the biggest enemy in this field. You have to keep calm, think twice before taking any step. So here our main target is to enjoy this digital revolution without getting scammed. It is important to talk about how to avoid such scams.
If any influencer or celebrity promotes any project, that does not mean you rush to invest, and this is when you make a mistake. First, you need to do deep research, and for that, you must check the history of the project team, the social media pages of that project, and the official website. Avoid clicking on unknown links in your dm or any random website that is suspicious.
Learn to identify the scam messages because they use catchy lines, for example, "Your free NFT is ready, claim it here", "Congratulations, you won $300 airdrop", and "One step ahead to claim free tokens." The phishing page is attached with this message, and it looks similar to the official website, and this is how you can be trapped. Once you connected your wallet here, your account vanished.
NFT has a smart contract because it is built on it. A clone fraudulent contract looks exactly the same, so you have to be careful; otherwise, this can be your worst mistake. Holding NFTs and cryptocurrency is the best decision, but here you have to choose a safe option, which is a hardware wallet. Yes, this is a physical device, i which you can save your crypto, and it is not possible for the scammers to attack and access the assets that you hold. So this is safe to use.
There are famous marketplaces like OpenSea, and you know them, but scammers also create clone NFT marketplaces that look like the original one. So, avoid visiting such websites in your DMs. You have to bookmark the important NFT marketplace.
Seed phrase and keys are the most important aspect of your crypto journey, and remember, not your keys, not your crypto. That is why you must not share your seed phrases or keys with others. No NFT platform or exchange asks for the key.
Research is the most important thing in any field. If you are diving into any field without proper research, then it can be a fire dive for you. Consider sharing this very important information and saving them from being scammed by NFT criminals. Not only the main crypto field, but NFT also has many scammers who can target you directly or on Telegram and Discord. Please share this post and also leave a comment below. Thank you so much.
