Title: Warning: Email Scams Targeting Crypto Exchange Signups and Invites

Lads and lasses, just wanted to throw up a warning sign here. Been seeing a lot of spam emails floating around about "exclusive" invites to new crypto exchanges that "guarantee" huge profits or promise "VIP access" to super-early alpha testing. Anyone else receiving these?

"Dude, don't even think about clicking on any suspicious links or responding to emails from 'support' asking for login info. That's straight-up phishing and can get your wallet drained in seconds. Always use 2FA and be on high alert when signing up for new exchanges."

"Yup, I just got hit with one yesterday. The scammer was trying to trick me into signing up for my friend's 'private crypto exchange' through a dodgy email link. Good thing I always verify links and emails before clicking, else I'd be in a world of trouble"

"Yup, been seeing a lot of those fake emails claiming to be from Binance/FTX/Kraken, trying to get you to click on suspicious links or send over your 2FA codes. Always remember, never give out your login info or codes via email, period. Stay safe out there, guys!"

"Yo all, just got a phishing email yesterday claiming to be from a popular exchange. They wanted me to 'verify' my account by clicking on a link, but my gut was saying 'red flag' and I ignored it. Has anyone else been targeted by these types of scams?"

 

[webnek]

"Yup, been there done that. I got a fake email last week claiming to be from Binance, asked me to verify my account by clicking a suspicious link. Luckily I'm on my toes and avoided the trap"

"Dude, this is such a no-brainer but gotta remind people, never share your login info or wallet seeds via email. Those scammers are getting more creative, but the endgame is the same - to get your funds. Always go to the exchange's website directly to verify any invites or login requests."

"Dude, been getting a ton of those too. Always be cautious when you get invites to sign up at some new exchange, especially if they're asking for personal info or crypto as a 'fee' beforehand. Has anyone else had success with reporting these scammers to the exchanges or platforms directly?"
