Recently, there have been cases of impersonation scams. Here is a unified statement: I will never privately ask anyone for money, transfers, or payments directly.

Any requests involving fund transactions must be verified in person, via voice call, or video call to confirm the other party's true identity. Skipping this step may help you avoid most scams.

Impersonation schemes like this are constantly emerging in the crypto community. Being cautious is never wrong. Reminding those around you can help many people.

Oh my, someone is impersonating you again? Fake accounts are rampant these days. --- You really need to be more cautious. I've seen several people get scammed, all because they transferred funds without verifying the identity. --- This kind of topic must be highlighted. There are too many newbies around who can't defend against this. --- Video call verification can really save lives. Those who are too lazy to bother are the most likely to fall for it. --- This is how the crypto world is. Scam teams are even more numerous than projects, haha. --- So basically, you still need to be vigilant yourself. Don't rely solely on the platform. --- This kind of statement is a bit helpless, showing how active fake accounts are. --- I just block all unfamiliar accounts asking for transfers—one and done. --- Good reminder. Better safe than sorry. This money is no small matter.

Really, this kind of thing is now too rampant When someone asks you to transfer money, they just hang up without explanation The tricks in the crypto circle are countless and unpredictable If someone steals my account to scam others, I would be furious This reminder comes at the right time; too many people around me have been caught Just a phone call can prevent being exploited

Damn, someone is impersonating again. This tactic is even more complicated than technical analysis. In my opinion, the video confirmation step is the stop-loss point. Those who don't set it will eventually get caught in a trap.

Good grief, are you using this trick again? I'm just surprised that people get phished every day. Really, skipping the video call step is a mistake; too many people rush and end up getting scammed. The scammers in the crypto world are truly relentless, each more greasy than the last. This needs to be said repeatedly; I guess some people will still fall for it. Timely reminders are the true community support. Speaking of which, having to post these kinds of statements is just ridiculous. Share this on your Moments; it could save several people.
