When it comes to protecting yourself from scams, a little caution goes a long way. If you ever suspect you might be falling victim to a potential scam, use these points as a handy guide to safeguard your hard-earned funds.

Red Flags to watch out for

1. Social Media Promises:
   
   I received a message on social media from someone promising me large returns quickly by trading currencies, forex, or binary options.
   
   
2. Fees to access “Profits”:
   
   To access my “profits,” my trader/broker is requesting that I pay taxes, a “cost of transfer,” or any other fees.
   
   
3. Pyramid Scheme Pressures:
   
   Since I would profit from their contribution, I am encouraged to enlist additional people in an investment program. Finding new participants is necessary to create investment returns in this pyramid scheme.
   
   
4. Romance Scams:
   
   The person I’m in love with requested me to send them cryptocurrencies or money after we met online.
   
   
5. Celebrity Impersonation:
   
   I can get cryptocurrency from a well-known person if I transfer them a tiny amount initially.
   
   

If any of these scenarios feel familiar, you could be dealing with a scam. Stop immediately and avoid sending any further funds, as they are at risk.

What AFRIDAX Will Never Do

At AFRIDAX, we prioritize your safety and security. To help you recognize fraudulent behavior, here’s what we do (and don’t) do:

• No Account Management or Trading Advice:
  
  We won’t handle your account management, and we don’t offer trading or financial advice. Anyone attempting to con you by pretending to be from AFRIDAX or working with AFRIDAX is doing this.

• Never Ask for Sensitive Information:
  
  AFRIDAX will never request your password, two-factor authentication code, or one-time password (OTP). Even if someone claims to work for AFRIDAX, do not share these details.

• No Screen Sharing:
  
  We will never ask you to share your screen to provide assistance. This is against our Terms of Use and a common scam tactic.

• No External Account Access:
  
  In addition to being against our Terms of Use, never let anybody else access your AFRIDAX account. They are probably attempting to con you or use your account to perpetrate fraud in the future under your name.
  
  
• No Phone Support:
  
   All communication with AFRIDAX is electronic. Be cautious of anyone claiming to offer technical or customer support via phone.

• Cryptocurrency Transactions Are Final:
  
  Unlike credit card transactions, cryptocurrency transactions are designed to be “irreversible”. As a result, we cannot reverse them, and refunds are not possible.

• No Hidden Fees:
  
  The only costs associated with your AFRIDAX account are small, automatic processing fees. There are no charges for maintaining your account or withdrawing funds.
  
  

How can you stay safe?

1. Do Your Research:
   
   Be extremely cautious (even paranoid) and make sure the person or organization you are interacting with is legitimate by researching them thoroughly online and asking them targeted questions about their company.
   
   
2. Be Skeptical:
   
   Scammers are often highly convincing, especially to those new to cryptocurrency. Don’t be afraid to walk away from a conversation that feels off.
   
   
3. Avoid Loans for Crypto Investments:
   
   Taking out loans to purchase cryptocurrencies and sending them to someone is a risky move. Steer clear of this practice.
   
   
4. Don’t Rely on Third-Party Traders:
   
   Avoid brokers, account managers, traders, sponsors, or agents who offer to trade cryptocurrency on your behalf. Handle your investments directly through your AFRIDAX account.
   
   
5. Protect Your Information:
   
   Since AFRIDAX is user-friendly and accessible to anyone, invest straight from your own account and keep your information, such as user names, passwords, and balances private.
   
   
6. Stay Vigilant:
   
   If you recognize any of the above scam scenarios, do not share your account details or transfer your funds to anyone. Protect what you’ve worked hard to earn.
