Hi! Im really sorry on sending this, i just hope im not overstepping any boundaries as I’m about to ask help which is very important right now :( my dog, Gizmo needs an urgent dental surgery. He is having a real hard time eating and I can't afford to pay the vet to help him so I'm reaching out to ask for help, I mean even if you can’t help monetarily, reblogging or sharing it would truly mean a lot. He is my therapy dog and my bestfriend, I am undergoing chemotherapy due to my leukemia and I cant do this without him. I have pinned the post on my blog, please try to also answer the ask privately as some people tend to get weird on this stuff. Please send us prayers, be safe. ♥️🙏

Listen, I totally understand the need for fundraising, but do it through a reputable organization and ask people to donate to the vet, not to you. You can set up payment plans through vets specifically with a funding option. That way, nobody gets scammed, as often happens on social media. I saw you are having it paid through PayPal and not through the vet. That will get you labeled as a scam even if you aren't.

I legitimately have less than a grand to my name right now and barely enough savings for my own animals in an emergency. I wish you the best of luck if this is real! Recently having a 600$ kitten vet bill I know how hard this can be. ** This was indeed confirmed as a SCAM Stay safe out there folks**

The Top 5 Ways to Stay Safe When Investing in Cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrency has become a popular investment choice for many individuals due to its potential for high returns. However, investing in cryptocurrency is not without risks. It is essential to take precautions to ensure that your investments are safe and secure. In this blog post, we will discuss the top 5 ways to stay safe when investing in cryptocurrency.

1. Do Your Research

Before investing in any cryptocurrency, it is crucial to do your research. Learn about the cryptocurrency you are interested in, its history, and its potential for growth. Read reviews and feedback from other investors to get a better understanding of the cryptocurrency's reliability and security. It is also essential to research the platform or exchange where you plan to buy and sell your cryptocurrency.

2. Use a Secure Wallet

A cryptocurrency wallet is a digital wallet that stores your cryptocurrency. It is essential to use a secure wallet to protect your investments from theft or hacking. Look for wallets that offer two-factor authentication and use encryption to secure your private keys. Avoid using online wallets or exchanges to store your cryptocurrency for extended periods.

3. Be Cautious of Scams

Cryptocurrency scams are becoming increasingly common. Scammers may use social media, email, or other channels to trick investors into sending them cryptocurrency. Be cautious of any offers that seem too good to be true, and always verify the authenticity of the person or platform you are dealing with. Never share your private keys or send cryptocurrency to unknown individuals or platforms.

4. Diversify Your Investments

Diversifying your cryptocurrency investments can help reduce your risk. Do not put all your investments into one cryptocurrency or platform. Instead, spread your investments across different cryptocurrencies and exchanges. This way, if one investment fails, you will not lose all your money.

5. Keep Your Investments Safe

Finally, it is essential to keep your investments safe. Use strong passwords and two-factor authentication to protect your accounts. Keep your private keys and login details safe and secure. Avoid accessing your accounts on public Wi-Fi networks or shared computers.

In conclusion, investing in cryptocurrency can be a lucrative venture, but it is not without risks. By following these top 5 ways to stay safe when investing in cryptocurrency, you can help protect your investments and reduce your risk of losses. Remember to do your research, use a secure wallet, be cautious of scams, diversify your investments, and keep your investments safe.

9 Tips to avoid scams

To best protect yourself from scams in the trading world, here are some measures to take:

1 – Lack of information is the investor’s first risk Before trusting any broker, trading platform or automated system, do thorough research. Check their online reputation, read our reviews and those of other users. Don't forget to research information about the company or individual behind the service offered.

2 – Check approvals and regulations Make sure the broker or trading platform is regulated by a recognized financial authority. Regulators provide some protection to investors by ensuring compliance with standards and investigating questionable practices.

💡 Take the reflex to consult the AMF website to check these approvals.

3 – Caution when faced with promises of high returns Be wary of promises of quick and unrealistic returns . Financial markets involve risks, and no so-called “risk-free” investment can guarantee consistent and high gains.

To give you an idea of ​​the aberration that unrealistic returns can represent , here is an example:

A trainer promises you to earn 10% per month This means that an investment of €10,000 over 10 years would earn you… €927,000,000 Yes, almost a billion euros! However, this example allows me to remind you of the power of compound interest. You can use this compound interest calculator to assess the credibility of what you are promised.

4 – Focus on training and education Learn the basics of trading and investing. A solid understanding of financial markets and investment strategies can help you spot potential scams.

🚨 But be careful! Fake training is common and sometimes sold at high prices to appear more “credible”. You can already start with our free 7-day training to get the basics .

5 – Ask for references If you are considering hiring a portfolio manager or investment advisor, ask for references and inquire about their experience and qualifications.

🧐 And above all, cross-reference information because it is very easy to create fake profiles on social networks.

6 – Be particularly wary of unsolicited calls and emails Be cautious of any unsolicited calls or emails urging you to invest money. Scammers often use these methods to target potential investors.

Likewise, a common technique is to pose as an online bank or a well-known neobank (such as Revolut ) in order to offer you particularly attractive investments.

But it is generally enough to go to the website of the bank in question (or our reviews ) to verify that these investments simply do not exist.

7 – Use secure platforms If you trade online, be sure to use secure platforms with adequate encryption to protect your personal and financial information, such as double authentication. This will also make it easier for you to recover your account in the event of a hack.

➡️ We have checked the security of each platform in our comparison of the best brokers & stock brokers .

8 – Consult an independent financial advisor Before making any significant investment decision, consult an independent financial advisor . He will be able to provide you with personalized advice based on your objectives and help you avoid potential pitfalls.

9 – Listen to your instinct If something seems too good to be true, or simply raises doubts, don't rush headlong into it.

Take the time to think and find out more before sending any euro or your banking information.

https://bit.ly/48Tin0X - 🚨 The FBI has issued a warning about a new scam tactic involving couriers who collect cash or precious metals from victims, primarily targeting the elderly. Scammers, posing as tech support, financial advisors, or government officials, deceive victims into liquidating their assets for protection against alleged hacking threats. #ScamAlert #FBISecurity 💸 From May to December last year, these scams resulted in losses exceeding $55 million, with the elderly being the most affected. The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) received 19,000 complaints in the first half of 2023 alone, with losses totaling around $542 million. Nearly half of these victims were over 60, suffering 66% of the total losses. #SeniorSafety #CyberFraud 🔒 The scammers use sophisticated methods to gain the trust of their victims, often setting up a passcode as a false security measure. Once the assets are handed over, the victims lose all contact with the scammers. This technique is an evolution of the 'phantom hacker scam,' combining impostor tech support with financial and government impersonation. #ConsumerProtection #OnlineScams 📞 Victims typically receive a call to resolve an imaginary problem, leading them to inadvertently grant remote access to their devices. The scammers then exploit this access to check for profitable accounts and instruct victims to transfer funds, often to overseas accounts. #TechSupportScam #CyberAwareness 🛑 To prevent falling victim to these scams, the IC3 advises never purchasing gold or precious metals at the request of supposed government or business representatives. People should protect their personal information, avoid unsolicited communications, and never allow strangers access to their computers. #ScamPrevention #StaySafeOnline 📢 The FBI encourages anyone who suspects such fraudulent activity to report it to the IC3 immediately, providing detailed transaction information to aid in investigations. #ReportFraud #FBIWarning Remember, staying informed and cautious is key to protecting yourself and your loved ones from these sophisticated scams.

Binance Users Targeted in SMS Scam, Exchange Warns Against Spoofing Attacks

Last week, users of Binance fell victim to scammers who sent fake SMS messages claiming they had won prizes in the Binance Mystery Box lottery, with rewards valued at around 100 euros in cryptocurrency. The victims were informed that the offer expired the same day and were urgently advised to claim their winnings by clicking on a link in the SMS. Upon clicking the malicious link, victims were prompted to log in to their Binance accounts and provide the necessary passwords. Binance acknowledged that this scheme represents a typical attempt at a spoofing attack through SMS, where attackers manipulate the message sender to appear as if it is coming from a trusted source. The goal is to deceive victims into following instructions, ultimately leading to the theft of confidential data. Binance stated its inability to combat such fraud since the technologies of the GSM communication system, under which SMS messages operate, allow the sender to arbitrarily fill in the "sender name" field. Mobile operators do not verify whether the sender sending the SMS has the legitimate right to use a specific name. "To close this security loophole in SMS, the whole world would have to modify GSM technology, which seems unrealistic to us," concluded Binance. Earlier, the National Agency of Project Management in Uzbekistan (NAPM) announced that the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, would be required to pay a fine for operating in the country without a license.

We want to make sure you're aware of a potential scam that could target your account.

Scammers are posing as Instagram Support and may direct message you, claiming to offer help with your account.

It's important to remember that Instagram Support will never direct message you. Instead, they will notify you through the application. So, if you receive a message from someone claiming to be Instagram Support, be cautious and don't engage with them.

Additionally, it's crucial not to share any personal information or details through direct messages with anyone, even if they claim to be from Instagram Support. Scammers may ask for personal information like your login details, phone number, or other sensitive data.

To protect yourself from these scams, always check the account's authenticity and look for the blue verified badge on the account. If you're unsure, contact Instagram through the app or visit their Help Center.

Stay safe and happy Instagramming! 😊

Flattery Gets You Nowhere

As much as I and other indie authors talk about scammers, there’s one positive note to it. It's definitely the flattery for me. #indieauthors #writing #writingscams #books #indiebooks #scamprevention #scamawareness #writingcommunity

As much as I and other indie authors talk about scammers, there’s one positive note to it. Are you ready for it? What could possibly be positive about being the target of any scam? Well…it’s definitely the flattery for me. Think about it.
