How to spot a scammer
-
Email “From” address impersonation:
Be vigilant about possible omissions or incorrect characters in email addresses. -
Log-in information requests:
If you get an email or text message (SMS) asking for your Blockchain.com account email, phone, password, or Private Key it most likely is a scam. -
“Appearing” helpful:
We often see scammers sprinkling through what appears to be “helpful” hints and tips as a decoy tactic. -
Using official logos and links:
Many phishing emails will consist of standard company logos and official sounding language to make it appear to be real.
Phishing attacks are getting more and more sophisticated, with new tactics emerging all the time.
