The scams on this page fall into three groups. Posing as a platform: fake exchange apps. Working through someone who contacts you: deepfake video calls and "we can get your money back" offers. Using on-chain mechanics: fake airdrop approvals and address poisoning. Each card says where that scam is easiest to recognize. Open the title for the full page.
Fake police calls, task scams, money-mule jobs and pig butchering have longer write-ups in the guides. If you have already sent money, start with Scammed in Crypto? What to Do and Where to Report It.
Don't install from an installer or download page someone sends you. For the real app, open the exchange's official website, follow its link to the App Store or Google Play, and check the developer name.
As soon as the video turns to a transfer, a payment on someone's behalf, a verification code or an unfamiliar app, hang up and call back on a number you saved or through the official app.
They contacted you first, they guarantee recovery, and they want payment up front: when all three are present, treat it as a recovery scam.
If claiming an airdrop needs an approval signed first, stop and ask three things: which contract is this, which token does it cover, and is the amount unlimited?
Check the whole address before you send, middle characters included, and don't copy addresses from your transaction history.

The scam self-check uses seven questions to help you judge what is in front of you. The domain checker compares an address you paste with the official domains of the exchanges built into it, character by character.
