In the crypto world, after struggling for these years, I have really been trapped many times. Every day I have to click various links, and the risks are hard to guard against. Later, I developed a habit: to first verify in a safe Wallet environment, and only after confirming that there are no issues, do I dare to share or interact on Twitter.
Looking back on the times I was deceived, I realize that they all fall into a few common traps. Phishing links, fake Wallet alerts, impersonating official project representatives—these tactics catch people year after year. Interestingly, these tricks aren't particularly sophisticated, but it's precisely because we let our guard down during fast-paced interactions.
The current advice is simple: don't be lazy. Every unfamiliar link is worth thinking about for an extra second, and confirm your Wallet operations multiple times before proceeding. In the crypto world, a moment of caution can save you endless trouble in the future.

You're right, I was trapped like that once, and now I have to think twice before every link.
Those phishing users are quite clever, but we need to remember this lesson.
The step of verifying the Wallet really can't be skipped; it's experience gained from painful lessons.
I think the most heartbreaking part is that even knowing the trap, some people still jump in; greed truly kills.

Ha, you are not wrong, I now have to think for two more seconds every time.

This trap really has no end, last time I almost fell for it.
---
Verify once before sharing, it's much more reassuring, I recommend this method.
---
Those phishing people really come up with new tricks every year, it's so annoying.
---
How many times has a one-second pause saved me, just thinking about it makes me scared.
---
The biggest enemy in the crypto world is being lazy, no doubt about it.

I've seen too many frens get scammed, now being cautious has become a habit.

Really, just thinking for one more second can indeed save a life.
Only after being deceived do you understand, now you have to think more about everything you see.
Fishing links are ridiculous, every year there are people who get tricked for sure.
Verify once before acting, this habit is worth cultivating.
It's easy to say, but it’s easy to become complacent.
One second of caution vs several times the loss, this calculation is easy to make.
Just reminding is useless, the key is execution, brother.

Here we go again, every time someone falls for a phishing link... I always tell newcomers, a Wallet is like your garden, you can't just open the door carelessly.
A second of extra thought can really save your life; I've seen too many projects with impressive on-chain data that are actually hell.
To be honest, developing this habit is more useful than any advanced tool; it's that simple and yet the most effective.
Someone in the group asked me why I’ve never been scammed, and I just said: I can't be bothered to click on unfamiliar links.

Indeed, a one-second confirmation can save you half your life, a personal lesson.
Having been trapped by that before, I’ve learned to be cautious; now I have to carefully check all the links.
That said, some people just can’t help but keep making the same mistakes. Do they really need to be scammed a few more times?
