Field Guide
How this scam checker works
Learn how we combine blockchain intelligence, AI heuristics, and community reports to surface trustworthy risk scores.
Identifying and Avoiding Cryptocurrency Scams
01Cryptocurrency scams caused $5.6 billion in losses in 2023 per FBI. Common scams include investment schemes promising guaranteed returns, impersonation of celebrities/companies, romance scams, giveaway/multiplier scams, and technical exploits.
Red flags include guaranteed returns (legitimate investments always carry risk), unsolicited offers, pressure tactics requiring immediate action, and requests for wallet seed phrases or private keys (legitimate services NEVER request these). Cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible - once sent to scammers, recovery is virtually impossible. Always verify official channels through independently obtained contact information.
