Recently, I discovered something quite troublesome—not only have scammers targeted me, but some marketing accounts are also directly copying my content and posting it as their own original work.
Let me make it clear: I mainly post on social media, so anything you see on other channels is basically just reposted. Also, I never create groups. If anyone says they want to add you to an "insider group" or "VIP group," it's 100% a scam.
There's another trick you need to watch out for—the kind where someone suddenly adds you as a friend, pretending to be a "caring sister" or "investment beauty." Nine times out of ten, it's a pig-butchering scam. The crypto space is full of traps, so please stay vigilant.
If you run into anything suspicious, just block and report them right away. Don't be soft-hearted—scammers definitely won't be soft-hearted with you.

Directly blocking and reporting is the most effective combination; data shows that the recidivism rate for scammers is close to zero, making it worth promoting.

The tricks in the crypto space are really something. I've also encountered people copying my stuff—reporting them feels great.
That whole VIP group thing is so annoying. Every time someone asks me for an invite code, I just laugh.
Those pig-butchering scammers are unbelievable, with their slick scripts and fake personas.
Man, these days you need to have ten times the awareness to survive in this space.
When it comes to content theft, reporting seems like the only way—after all, the platforms can't keep up.
By the way, have you ever thought about just exposing those accounts that steal content and letting everyone report them together?
Crypto scams are evolving so fast—you really have to stay alert all the time.
Those so-called “friendly” sisters that suddenly show up are almost always trying to scam you.
Blocking and reporting is fine, but the stolen content is already out there—the impact is still there.

Oh, I've seen this kind of trick so many times. Blocking and reporting really is the only way out.
Those copy-paste marketing accounts are disgusting, it's long overdue for a crackdown.
I've seen through the group-inviting trick long ago and never fell for it even once.
My classmate almost fell for those "caring sister" and "young beauty investor" pig-butchering scams, but luckily realized in time.
That's just how the crypto space is—it's really impossible to guard against every scam.
Your reminder is great, more newbies need to see this.
These days, if you don't block and report, you're doing yourself a disservice.

These crypto tricks are really something else. Block and report, let's go.
I'm familiar with this move. These marketing accounts repost everything, it's so annoying—pirated content everywhere.
That VIP group trick is so outdated, can't believe people still fall for it.
I've had those "caring sister" accounts add me—they start talking about investments right away. Hilarious.
Can't guard against pig-butchering scams, you really have to stay sharp yourself.
Social media is the real deal—don't trust those shady channels.
I've fallen for all these traps before, now I don't trust anyone.
Same here. These scammers and content thieves are the worst.
There's definitely a lot of dirt in the crypto space, you have to stay alert at all times.
