In your X ( ex Twitter ) messages comes a tempting offer where you can earn money, you are told everything beautifully, you are already starting to feel FOMO and are ready to take part in the scheme. This will be the beginning of losing your money ... why does this happen? Let's find out !Types of deception can be divided into two categories: simple and complex.

Simple

A simple type of deception is when a criminal with little experience relies on luck, inattention and lack of awareness. Such deception in 90% of cases is revealed at the beginning of most people. You will be offered very favorable conditions, insist and play on your emotions. In most cases you will be asked to download a stealer program with which you can "make money" lol. In practice, it is very common for Influencers to receive offers from criminals. Criminals offer 1000-2000 $USDT for placing an ad post. But in order to get money for ad, you need to download the file ( stealer ) they will send.

How not to fall for such deception?

1/ You should always be realistic and keep your mind sharp.

2/ Criminals often use the same message "scripts" for everyone.

3/ Criminals buy Twitter accounts ( often already with "blue check mark" verification ). Don't forget to do your research on the account that is messege to you.

See who is subscribed to it, whether it creates content, whether it puts likes and most importantly try to find in Twitter itself mentions of this account. Often someone who has already been caught by criminals will tweet about it.

Complex

A professional approach to deception requires serious knowledge and more time. The criminals will not offer you something right away, they will try to gain your trust. Very often they will have solid Twitter accounts, even well-known crypto projects and influencers may be subscribed to them. People who fall on the caught of criminals professionals do not immediately realize that they got into an unpleasant situation and lost their money.

Criminals can "process" you for months to fleece your cryptocurrency or NFTs.

It is much more difficult to protect yourself from professionals, because when we start trusting a person we relax and forget about our safety. The moment you relax, you will be hit by the criminals. Therefore, it is important to broaden your horizons, study more materials on how social engineering works, human psychology and analysis cases of fraud in the crypto space.
