1. Email Phishing

An email arrives in your inbox, seemingly from a service you are familiar with or have used before. The email looks completely legitimate, but it is not. Hackers make their phishing emails look identical to legitimate service emails, with the same formats and design used, thus it can be difficult to differentiate them.

2. Fake Google Ads/SEO:

3. Copy Paste:

This method involves a program changing a wallet address you put in into one that belongs to crooks.

The site may look completely identical to the one you intended to access so you may not realize you're dealing with a scam page until it is too late.

Scammers can create apps that would supposedly allow you to participate in crypto-exchange, but after some time, you'd realize that you're not trading anything with it, merely sending money to the scammer's account.
