Scambaiter Kitboga, renowned for his efforts to thwart scam operations, offered valuable advice on avoiding fraudulent schemes. Kitboga's unique approach involves wasting scammers' time to expose their tactics and educate the public.
Kitboga emphasized that scammers often create a sense of urgency to manipulate victims into hasty decisions. “Whether you think you've won $1 million or you think you owe $1 million... the scammer is going to make you do something right now,” he warned. His advice focuses on the importance of staying calm and taking the time to thoroughly assess any situation, particularly in the fast-moving world of {crypto} currency.
He shared a personal anecdote about almost falling victim to a sophisticated scam. “The other day, we encountered a website that was a near-perfect copy of a popular coin’s site,” Kitboga recounted. The only difference was the domain name. This example highlights how subtle changes can be used to deceive unsuspecting users.
To enhance protection against fraud, Kitboga advises segmenting funds, especially in the cryptocurrency space. “If you want to try something new or invest in a project, don’t keep all your assets in one place,” he suggested. This strategy minimizes risk by spreading assets across different accounts or platforms.
