How to protect yourself from scams and phishing

Scams and phishing are attempts to steal your data and your money by posing as a trusted company or person. They usually arrive via message, email, fake link, or phone call—always with an urgent request. The best defense is simple: be suspicious, don’t click links, and never share your password, code, or seed.

How to protect yourself from scams and phishing in crypto
Concept

Phishing in one sentence

Phishing is "bait." Someone disguises themselves as someone you trust—a bank, an exchange, support—to convince you to hand over data or click something.

The scam almost always uses two ingredients: urgency and fear. If the message rushes you or scares you, it’s time to slow down and be skeptical.

What are the most common scams?

They change outfits, but the goal is always the same: your data and your money.


Fake support

Someone pretends to be an agent and asks for your password, code, or for you to install an app. Real support never does that.

Guaranteed profit

A promise of certain, fast, risk-free returns. In investing, that doesn’t exist: it’s always a sign of a scam.

Fake link

A message with a link that imitates the exchange to steal your login. The address looks similar, but it’s not the official one.

The three warning signs

If any of them appears, stop and be skeptical.

Urgency"It’s now or you lose." Hurry is the scammer’s weapon.
RequestSomeone asking for a password, code, or seed. Never give it.
PromiseGuaranteed profit or a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Too good to be true.

How to protect yourself in practice

1

Never share your password, code, or seed

no legitimate company asks for that, through any channel.

2

Don’t click links in messages

always access via the official app or by typing the site yourself.

3

Be wary of urgency and promises

urgency and guaranteed profit are the hallmarks of a scam.

4

Enable account protections

two-factor verification and a strong, unique password.

5

If in doubt, do nothing

always confirm through official channels before acting.

What Brasil Bitcoin never does

If someone does anything on this list in Brasil Bitcoin’s name, it’s a scam.


Never asks for your password

Not your password, not your verification code, not your seed. By phone, message, or email—never.

No consultant

Brasil Bitcoin does not have agents or investment consultants contacting you to "make your money earn."

Doesn’t promise returns

No official source will promise guaranteed profit. Crypto is a high-risk investment, and we say that clearly.
