The NFT Treasure Scam: A Valuable Lesson for Crypto Investors

Recently, the NFT Treasure scandal has once again awakened the community about the potential risks in the NFT market. Thousands of investors have fallen into the trap of scammers, losing hundreds of billions of dong. What happened?

Scam Mechanism: Classic Trap Players

Their tactics are extremely sophisticated:

1. Gaining Trust through Social Media: They approach victims on WhatsApp, Telegram, TikTok, and Facebook with images of huge profits (300-500% in a few weeks).

2. Build trust: Provide “proof” with screenshots of fake profits, counterfeit certificates.

3. Luring and Withdrawing Money: Advising victims to deposit money into an e-wallet, after which the entire account gets locked or the funds completely disappear.

How to Protect Yourself

Golden rule to avoid being scammed:

• Never transfer money to unknown accounts, no matter how attractive the profits may be.
• Check the project's history on the blockchain carefully, see if the smart contract code is public.
• If the opportunity is “too good to be true”, then it is definitely a scam.
• Activate 2-factor authentication (2FA) on all accounts
• Use a strong password, do not share your seed phrase with anyone.

If You Are a Victim

Take action now:

1. Report to the economic-financial police
2. Contact the cybercrime unit
3. Record all evidence (images, messages, wallet address)
4. Community warning on social media to avoid more victims

Lesson: In crypto, nothing is “simple” or “quick”. Stay alert, research thoroughly, and only invest in projects with a clear track record.
