In recent days, scammers are quite active, and in this digital world, tracking them is not so easy. Unless we are professionals, there is no way to track them. So, the only thing we can do is protect ourselves from them. This is because in this digital world, the security system is quite advanced, and unless we make any foolish move, there is only a small possibility of being scammed. The only thing we need to do is to be intelligent enough not to be foolish, I mean, making any ridiculous mistake.
We need to protect our privacy for our security. Our information is very powerful, and if a scammer can get our personal life data, they can easily connect with us through social media. So, the first way to protect ourselves from a scammer is to not to share all the information about us in social media, where they can easily get that data. Scammers try to be friendly and, over time, use the so-called friendship to scam us. In fact, they can use some sensitive data for blackmailing also, which is quite troublesome.
Sometimes scammers hack the accounts of our friends and ask for help from others through social media for emergencies, and there are many cases like that till now, and the number of victims is huge. Emergency can be real, but before acting, we should verify again using phone calls to our friends. Most of the time, they are also unaware that their account is being hacked.
Sometimes scammers also use links to scam us. I have seen many people lose their social media account just because they used a particular link to use social media without costing any data pack and for free use; they actually give their social media account details. I think that any suspicious link should be ignored. Taking control of social media means they can use it to scam others. In that case, two-step verification is quite useful, but most of us don't use it as we feel it is troublesome while logging in. To improve security, I think this step is very necessary.
Some people are quite serious about their social media security and the use of strong passwords, which is right, but most of them don't secure Gmail accounts well. Most of the social media and accounts related to finance are created using our Gmail account, and leaving Gmail unprotected means our social media and financial accounts are also unprotected, and most of the time scammers take advantage of it.
Sharing OTPs is always foolish, but sometimes people share their OTP just because of the goodness of some good offers. They think that sharing it may help them to get some advantage but actually it's a very easy way to scam anyone. We need to know that there are no facilities that come at a low price. We should not make such a foolish move. I think this kind of move is kind of ridiculous because someone can share their OTP like that. Don't they have common sense? How careless can people be like that?
Investment offers seem to be one of the best ways to scam people with huge amounts. There are many investment offers that promise to give maximum return, and later they run away with our money. I think we have a very good example of this here, and a recent example is Leostrategy, unofficially founded by Khaleelkazi, according to the opinion of people, as He's the one who introduced it, and he is also the founder of Inleo. Leostrategy/Khaleelkazi introduced many tokens and promised good returns, but in the middle, he stopped paying without any consultation with investors and later dropped the price of all tokens close to zero. So, everyone who invested lost all their assets.
Special note: The scammer named "Khaleelkazi" by hive username is quite shameless compared to any other scammers. It's because normal scammers run away after a scam, but this scammer stays active as if nothing happened. I hope that everyone will be careful with him and any new idea he introduces here. In fact, I strongly doubt whether Inleo frontend is saving our keys or not. I recommend you not to put your active key Inleo frontend as in recent days I there is news/rumors of hacking those accounts created through Inleo or used leo.voter as recovery accounts. So, stay alert.
