Crypto Fraud Awareness Notice

Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum are increasingly targeted by fraudsters due to their irreversible nature and minimal regulatory oversight. Crypto transactions can be executed rapidly across borders, making recovery of lost funds extremely difficult.

Please note: Crypto is a highly volatile and high-risk asset. Its value can rise or fall dramatically, and returns are never guaranteed. If you fall victim to a scam, recovery is unlikely — always invest only what you can afford to lose.

How to Recognize a Crypto Scam

⚠️ Unsolicited Contact

Be alert if someone you don't know reaches out to you with:

• Investment tips or opportunities via phone, email, social media, or messaging apps
• Claims of being an "investment manager" or “advisor”
• Promotions featuring celebrities or influencers claiming large, fast profits
• Friends or acquaintances unknowingly sharing scams
• A romantic interest or online acquaintance urging you to invest or send crypto

⚠️ Urgency and Pressure Tactics

Scammers often pressure you to:

• Move your crypto to external or unfamiliar platforms
• Make payments in crypto for financial services or taxes
• Download unofficial investment apps
• Deposit money into multiple accounts
• Invest more to access existing funds

CALMSWAP’s Official Position

Warning Signs of Suspicious Activity

Be cautious if you encounter:

• Promises of guaranteed or high returns with little to no risk
• Requests to pay taxes or fees to release your crypto earnings
• Tokens appearing in your wallet that you didn’t purchase
• Lack of a clear and well-written whitepaper for a new crypto project
• Poor online reputation or scam warnings related to the provider
• Remote work offers that require crypto purchases

Stay Safe Before You Invest

Scammers rely on persuasive messaging and flashy marketing. Protect yourself by:

✅ Questioning ads and endorsements, even if from familiar sources
✅ Searching the name of the coin or service alongside terms like “scam” or “review”
✅ Carefully reading project documentation (whitepapers), and verifying details
✅ Checking for spelling or grammar errors on websites and apps
✅ Avoiding anyone who demands payment strictly in crypto 

Remember: Legitimate financial service providers will not require crypto as the only payment method. Stay skeptical of “too good to be true” offers and always double-check before sending funds.

If anything feels suspicious — stop, research, and verify.
