#以太坊行情技术解读 Six Killer Tips to Identify Phishing Websites (Crypto Survival Guide)



In this era of information explosion, recognizing scam pages has become an essential lesson for every holder. I’ve summarized the pitfalls I’ve encountered over the years and share them with you.

**First Level: Start with the Address Bar**
80% of phishing sites are exposed here. Official websites tend to be straightforward and simple, while scammers like to tinker with the address—adding an extra letter, inserting underscores, or replacing characters with homophones. For example, changing "official exchange" to "official-exchange-login" or using strange suffixes like .vip, .xyz. Make it a habit to pause for 3 seconds before browsing and check the address bar carefully.

**Second Level: Be Wary of All "Urgent Notices"**
"Account abnormal, login immediately," "Assets will be frozen," "Miss it and lose forever"—these scare tactics are classic scam tricks. Genuine official platforms never rush you into action this way; instead, they give you plenty of time to handle issues. When you see such messages, you can generally determine it’s a phishing site.

**Third Level: Beware of Wallet Pop-Ups**
If a webpage prompts you to connect your wallet, sign, or authorize assets immediately upon opening, it’s a high-risk signal. The scammer’s logic is simple—get you to sign as quickly as possible so you can’t react in time. Remember: websites that ask for your signature without showing the content are 99% scams.

**Fourth Level: Airdrops and High Yields Are Traps**
There’s no such thing as a free lunch. Airdrops with unknown sources, promises of tokens via private messages, so-called "official compensation" or "bug refunds"—these are all scam talk. Why would a project give you money out of nowhere if you didn’t participate? Just think about it, and you’ll see the truth.

**Fifth Level: Pay Attention to Page "Details"**
Phishing sites are often hurriedly assembled. Clunky copy, typos, blurry logos, incomplete page information, customer service buttons that lead directly to Telegram chats—these details all scream "I’m a rushed job." Professional platforms pay attention to detail and won’t be so sloppy.

**Sixth Level: Three Defensive Actions**
Visit official channels (bookmarks, official app, official social media accounts), carefully review the contract before authorizing, and use a small test wallet instead of your main wallet.

In short, if you slow down just 10 seconds more than the scammer, you win. No rush, no greed, no clicking on unfamiliar links—that’s the survival rule for experienced players. $BTC $ETH

Oh my goodness, someone got scammed again. You really need to develop the habit... The address bar is so crucial. I've seen too many people unable to distinguish between .vip and official sites.

That address bar lock is really awesome. I was almost tricked by the .vip suffix and almost authorized before I realized.

To be honest, I've heard this spiel too many times. The problem is—real retail investors never see this article, or even if they do, they don't learn from it. When bottom fishing, everyone becomes greedier and greedier, resulting in directly throwing the main wallet in for signing. The panic during a sell-off can sometimes be more intense than the scare tactics of phishing websites.

Damn, I almost fell for that trick in the address bar before. Luckily, I reacted in time.

Really, I was scammed once because of the address bar. Now I've developed a habit of checking it in 3 seconds, saving me a lot of trouble.
