There has been a spike in the scammers in recent weeks, I find, sending links via messages or comments that lead to bogus sites. I always ignore them and never click the links. Being aware allows us to distinguish the bad actors from the good ones more easily.
Good point. Thanks for commenting @binkyprod. I didn't really say much about not clicking on links, but that's definitely good advice. When in doubt, it's always better to get there some other way. Phishing attacks are sometimes difficult to recognize, and can be devastating if you give up important info.
So true. There was an email going around to everyone who owned EOS tokens and the website was almost identical and looked really legit. There as one small difference in the website address that distinguished it and if we click too quily before observing, it's not always after 3 or 4 clicks that they have access, sometimes it's through the first one. Though to be fair, most phishing scam sites ask for our credentials, so that's the major clue right there.
