Be very cautious when searching for crypto websites on search engines. Many fake platforms rely on paid ads to rank at the top and specifically scam users.



Recently, I witnessed a vivid lesson firsthand. A certain AI token was launched some time ago, and many people rushed in to buy the dip and participate in the airdrop. It initially sold for 0.15, but in the blink of an eye, it dropped to 0.07, a 50% price cut. But that’s not the worst part.

One partner was even more unlucky—he accidentally entered a fake DEX platform, and as a result, his wallet was directly emptied of 1 ETH. Even more dangerously, he had over 200 ETH stored in a main account. Fortunately, he logged in with a secondary account at the time; otherwise, the loss would have been incalculable. This incident reminds us that fake websites are often hidden among the top search results on Google, and scammers’ methods are becoming increasingly sophisticated.

Therefore, I advise everyone: before trading, be sure to confirm official channels, verify the authenticity of the website, and manage key accounts separately. Caution is the best way to ensure safety.

Damn, did I really lose just 1 ETH? Luckily, he has a secondary account, or I would have gone bankrupt. The top results on Google are all bait, I don't even dare to search now.

This crap happens every day, with the top search results all being phishing sites. Google needs to clean up.

The top few results on Google are really all phishing sites. My friend lost coins that way, and now I always think twice before going out.

Oh no, that's why I never search directly on Google; I always verify the website on the official Discord. Over 200 ETH almost lost, this guy is really a lucky one.
