Later on the CD24 YouTube channel, every warning below will have a short beginner video.
Never type your seed phrase into a website, form, chat, email, or support page. Write it offline and keep it private.
Rule: no one needs your seed phrase.Search results, ads, Telegram links, and X replies can lead to fake wallet, exchange, or airdrop pages.
Rule: type official URLs yourself.Scammers pretend to be wallet, exchange, or project support. Real support should never ask for private keys or seed phrases.
Rule: support never asks for secrets.Guaranteed returns, “double your crypto,” secret signals, and pressure to act fast are major warning signs.
Rule: guaranteed profit is a warning.Connecting a wallet can approve risky permissions. Only connect to trusted sites and learn how to revoke approvals.
Rule: check before you connect.When learning, start small. Send a tiny test transaction before moving larger amounts.
Rule: small test first, bigger later.
