Avoiding Scams and Phishing Attacks
In the world of DeFi and Web3, you are your own bank — which means you’re also responsible for your own security. Scams and phishing attacks are common in the crypto space, but with a few smart habits, they’re 100% avoidable.
This guide will help you protect your wallet, tokens, and identity while using Bitiness and other Web3 platforms.
Common Types of Crypto Scams
Phishing Websites
Fake websites that look like Bitiness or popular wallets
Fake Tokens
Scam tokens imitating real projects (e.g., fake BNB)
Malicious DApps
dApps designed to steal token approvals or drain wallets
Imposter Support
Scammers pretending to be Bitiness admins or customer service
Pump & Dump Groups

How to Stay Safe While Using Bitiness
1. Only Use Official Links
Bookmark the official Bitiness website
Always double-check the domain:
https://app.bitiness.comorhttps://app.bitiness.io/(or your correct DEX domain)Never click on links from unknown sources or DMs
2. Never Share Your Seed Phrase
Your Secret Recovery Phrase (12 or 24 words) is the key to your wallet
Bitiness will never ask for it — no one should
If someone asks for it, it’s a scam. Always.
3. Beware of Fake Airdrops & Tokens
If you see random tokens in your wallet that you didn’t buy — ignore them
Never try to swap or approve them — they could be traps that drain your wallet
4. Use Verified Token Contracts
Only trade tokens with verified contract addresses
Bitiness will display trusted token pairs
You can double-check contracts on BscScan
5. Avoid Fake Support Accounts
Bitiness admins will never DM you first
Support is only provided through official community channels
Never trust someone asking for remote access, passwords, or personal info
6. Revoke Unused Token Approvals
Visit tools like https://revoke.cash or your wallet's token approval page
Remove old or suspicious contract access to your wallet
7. Use a Hardware Wallet (Optional)
For long-term or large holdings, use a Ledger or Trezor for maximum security
