Cryptocurrency’s rise brings scam risks! Fraudsters are creating fake websites, impersonating staff, and tricking users into losing money. Here’s how to stay safe:

Common Scams and How to Fight Back

• Fake Hotcoin Groups: Watch out for fake Telegram, WeChat, and QQ groups with fake “Hotcoin staff” promoting fake airdrops or financial activities. These aim to steal your wallet info and assets.

  • Defense: Never share your wallet private key, Hotcoin login info, or other sensitive details on social media groups.

• Investment Scams: Beware of “investment experts” who befriend you online or boast high profits. They might push you to invest on fake platforms where you can’t withdraw funds.

  • Defense: Don’t trust unsolicited investment advice. Always research platforms before investing.

• Impersonation Scams: Scammers may pretend to be Hotcoin staff on social media, promising “guaranteed profits” through methods like “brick-and-mortar arbitrage” or “coin storage interest.” They trick you into transferring your assets.

  • Defense: Hotcoin staff will never ask for your account information. Report suspicious activity to Hotcoin.

• Phishing Websites: Scammers create fake websites that look like Hotcoin and send emails/SMS claiming “account upgrades,” “migration,” etc., with links or QR codes. These steal your login info and assets. Fake apps with the “Hotcoin” name are also a threat.

  • Defense: Always manually enter the Hotcoin website address. Do not click on links or scan QR codes from unknown sources. Never share account info on unofficial websites or apps.

• Fake Official Communication: Scammers may impersonate government officials or legal entities, claiming you’re involved in illegal activities.

  • Defense: Real authorities won’t contact you via phone, SMS, or social media about financial issues.

• False Accusations: Some might spread fake stories about Hotcoin to trick you into paying “legal fees.”

  • Defense: Verify information about Hotcoin through official channels. Don’t fall for fabricated claims.

Stay Safe with these Tips

• Keep Login Info Secret: Never share your wallet password, private key, or account information with anyone, including “Hotcoin staff.”
• Be Careful Where You Login: Don’t use search engines to find the Hotcoin website. Always manually enter the official address to avoid fake sites.
• Don’t Trust Unknown Links: Exercise caution with links and QR codes from unknown sources. Phishing attacks can steal your assets.
• Verify Official Information: Check the official Hotcoin website for any platform updates or announcements.
• Hotcoin Won’t Ask for This: Hotcoin will never require you to perform buy/sell/withdrawal/transfer operations or conduct specific investments.
  • Verify All Claims: Always verify with Hotcoin if someone claims to be an official representative or offers investment opportunities on behalf of Hotcoin.
• Report Scams: If you encounter a suspicious website, email, phone call, or WeChat claiming to be Hotcoin, report it to Hotcoin immediately.
• If Scammed, Act Fast: If you’ve been a victim of a scam, stop interacting with the scammers, gather evidence (chat records, transactions), and report it to the police.

Remember: Be vigilant, don’t share sensitive information, and verify any suspicious activity with Hotcoin. Stay safe and enjoy your cryptocurrency experience!
