O que é Common Bitcoin scams?
Recurring fraud patterns: fake giveaways, impersonated support, romance-investment schemes, fake exchanges and pre-seeded hardware wallets.
The shapes repeat: a giveaway that requires a deposit first; a person who builds rapport for weeks before an opportunity appears; a platform showing rising profits that cannot be withdrawn without a fee; a hardware wallet from a marketplace reseller with a "pre-configured" phrase.
Because Bitcoin transactions are irreversible, prevention is the only defence. The recurring red flags are urgency, guaranteed returns, and any request involving your seed phrase.
