Most scams don’t “hack” you. They trick you into clicking.
Use this 10-second NanaProof link check every time you see a link in a DM, email, comment, or “support” message.
Step 1 — Pause (2 seconds)
Before you click, stop. Scammers rely on speed and emotion.
Step 2 — Check the source (3 seconds)
Ask: Who sent this, and why now?
Red flags:
- You didn’t ask for help, but “support” contacted you
- The message feels urgent (“last chance”, “account locked”)
- The sender name looks official but the account is new or odd
Step 3 — Read the URL like a scanner (5 seconds)
Look for:
- Misspellings (ex: “binanse”, “metamask-support”)
- Extra words (ex: “verify”, “sync”, “restore”)
- Strange endings (unexpected .xyz, .top, random subdomains)
- Shortened links you can’t see
Rule: If you can’t verify the URL, don’t open it.
What to do instead (safe move)
- Type the website address yourself (or use a trusted bookmark)
- Use the official app, not a random link
- If it’s urgent — it’s probably a scam
NanaProof rule:
Pause → Verify → Only then click.
