Safety Centre

Learn the patterns scammers repeat so you can recognise them early.

• Promises of guaranteed returns are a red flag. Every real opportunity carries risk.
• Pressure to act fast is a tactic, not a reason.
• Strangers who message you first about money deserve extra caution.
• If in doubt, pause and ask someone you trust before you do anything.

Share less by default, and know who can see what.

• Share the minimum an app needs, not everything it asks for.
• Check app permissions on your phone every few months.
• Use a separate email address for sign-ups you are not sure about.
• Review the privacy settings on your main accounts at least once a year.

Simple habits that keep a crypto wallet safer.

• Download wallet apps only from the official website or app store, and check the maker's name.
• Keep your recovery phrase offline and private.
• Consider a hardware wallet, a small device that keeps keys offline, for larger amounts.
• Use a separate wallet for trying new apps, and keep very little in it.

Treat AI answers as drafts and check what matters.

• Check numbers, dates, names, and quotes. These are where mistakes hide.
• Ask for sources and open them yourself. AI can invent sources.
• Look for two reliable sources that agree.
• Be extra careful with health, money, and legal topics. Ask a qualified professional.

Strong, unique passwords and a second lock on important accounts.

• Use a password manager so every account gets its own long, unique password.
• Turn on two-step login, ideally with an authenticator app instead of text messages.
• Protect your email account most of all. Other accounts can be reset from it.
• Never share a password or a one-time code with anyone who contacts you first.

How to tell the real site from a lookalike.

• Type the address yourself, or use a bookmark, instead of tapping links in messages.
• Read the web address letter by letter. One swapped letter is a common trick.
• Be careful with ads at the top of search results. Scammers pay for them.
• If a site asks for your recovery phrase, leave it at once.

The one secret you must never share.

• Never share it with anyone, including people who say they are support.
• Never type it into a website or app, other than a wallet you installed yourself when restoring.
• Do not keep it in photos, cloud notes, emails, or chat messages.
• Store it offline, and consider a second copy in a different safe place.

Fake images, cloned voices, and confident wrong answers.

• Pause when something makes you feel angry, scared, or rushed.
• If a message asks for urgent money, call the person back on a number you already know.
• Agree a family code word for emergencies.
• Remember that AI detectors are not perfect, so rely on source checks too.

Keep your files and information safe and recoverable.

• Back up important files in more than one place.
• Lock your phone and computer, and keep software up to date.
• Close old accounts you no longer use.
• Share only what is needed, especially other people's details.

Use AI and Web3 in ways you would be happy to explain.

• Say when AI helped with something you publish.
• Protect other people's data as carefully as your own.
• Keep a person in charge of decisions that matter.
• Follow the rules of your school, workplace, and country.
