Common Scam Techniques
1. Phishing Attacks
In the crypto sector, phishing scams often involve fraudsters posing as Coinlocally representatives. They create fake websites and spread misleading information through SMS, emails, and chat apps like Telegram. Tactics include false alerts such as "account upgrades," "system migrations," "refunds," "security risks," and more, urging users to click on phishing links or scan malicious QR codes. Once users enter sensitive details like passwords, SMS codes, or Google Authenticator codes, scammers quickly seize control of their accounts and steal funds.
Fraudsters may also pretend to provide wallet security services, tricking users into importing private keys, granting wallet permissions, or performing transactions on fake sites. They might even ask directly for your wallet's seed phrase under excuses like "airdrop registration," "security check," or "password reset." Disclosing this information will result in immediate asset theft.
Important: The official website for Coinlocally is coinlocally.com. Only trust this domain.
2. Brand Impersonation
Some scammers claim affiliation with Coinlocally to promote fake "investment opportunities" or "new project listings."
Always verify any investment-related communications through Coinlocally’s official channels. Genuine information is only published on the official website: https://www.coinlocally.com.
3. Fake Assistance Offers
Scammers may approach users claiming to provide "trading advice" or "account support." Once a relationship is established, they request money transfers under the guise of expert-led trading or investment management.
4. Social Media Account Impersonation
Fraudsters may reach out via Telegram, WeChat, or other platforms pretending to be Coinlocally staff. They might send links, QR codes, or request personal information, aiming to gain access to your crypto or bank accounts.
5. Fake Customer Service Representatives
Impersonators posing as Coinlocally support agents might request remote screen sharing to "assist with account operations." They could ask for sensitive details like SMS codes, Google Authenticator codes, or permission for remote login, leading to account breaches. Be cautious of anyone directing you to unauthorized websites or asking you to download unknown files.
6. Fake Telegram Groups
Fraudsters create Telegram groups pretending to be official Coinlocally communities, using terms like "airdrop," "staking," "listing," or "smart contracts."
Reminder: Always verify the authenticity of communities before joining.
7. Fake Applications
Downloading apps or software from unofficial sources can expose you to security risks.
Only download Coinlocally apps through the official website: https://www.coinlocally.com/en_US/appDownload.
8. Impersonating Authorities and Official Staff
Scammers may pose as Coinlocally employees or law enforcement, claiming your account is linked to illegal activities such as money laundering. Using fear tactics, they urge users to cooperate by sharing account credentials or executing withdrawals.
Stay calm and always verify any suspicious communication directly with Coinlocally via the official website.
