This is a one-pager you can hand to your relatives. No jargon, just the three scams hitting people most often:
1) SIM-swaps
- Attacker convinces carrier to port your number.
- They hijack SMS 2FA and reset your accounts.
- Fix: Ask carrier to set a port-out PIN. Don’t rely on SMS 2FA.
2) Vacuum-cleaner browser extensions
- Extensions that promise coupons/wallpapers but read everything you type.
- They grab passwords, card numbers, crypto logins.
- Fix: Install fewer extensions. Only from developers you actually know. Remove junk.
3) Telegram “support” scams
- You post a question in a crypto chat.
- Fake “support” DMs you, asks for seed or codes.
- Fix: Real support never DMs you first. Don’t share private keys. Ever.
Bottom line: If it feels rushed or secret — stop. Call a trusted friend before you click or reply.
