Luckily on Our Website we have a banner where you can report Crypto scams to 😁!
1. Self-custody (become invulnerable to cex phishing/impersonators)
2. Never fall into "send your funds and we will double/tripple/etc it"
3. Keep secrets (seed phrase, private keys etc) your secret
The "you placed the call" scam is used a lot now. Really started to rise about 2 years ago, but now you see it a lot.
This is happening a lot with PayPal, where a payment request is sent from PayPal using their system but has a phone number to call in the payment request message that is part of the scam.
Also happens with fake package tracking and tech support, et cetera.
It works because you are more likely to follow the scammers instructions if you initiated the phone call.
