As the New Year approaches, the popularity in the crypto world is also skyrocketing. But the problem is, places with high enthusiasm are often where scammers are most active. Recently, many investors have been complaining that they received some suspicious links, claiming to offer New Year airdrops, special investment opportunities, or limited-time benefits. If you accidentally click on such links, at best your account funds could be instantly transferred away, and at worst, your wallet private keys might be stolen by hackers.

This situation sounds quite frightening, but it’s not entirely unsolvable. The key is to understand the defensive points against several common scams. First, any airdrops or investment invitations that are not officially confirmed can generally be considered traps. Especially messages from Telegram, Discord, Email, or Twitter—be extra cautious. When you receive such information, don’t rush to act; first verify through official channels or official community groups.

Never take your wallet security lightly. Develop good habits like enabling multi-signature, using hardware wallets to store important assets, and only operate on platforms officially authorized. Additionally, when encountering phrases like “Claim Now” or “Limited-Time Event,” your first reaction should be to stay calm, verify first, then take action.

In short, scam techniques in the crypto space are constantly evolving, especially during festivals or market volatility. These malicious tactics tend to become more rampant during such times. Protecting your funds is always more important than trying to make quick profits. Be cautious with New Year investments, and don’t let a moment of carelessness lead to irreversible losses.
