We are in the new digital monetary universe and we know it doesn’t take long to recognize there’s risk involved in this new paradigm shift. The PlaceWar team wants to help and educate everyone in this space, let’s all help each other to achieve that goal.

Here’s a look at the more common scams and ways to avoid becoming a victim as you join the exciting future of the Metaverse.

Imposter Websites

If there isn’t a small lock icon indicating security near the URL bar and no “HTTPS” in the site address think twice. There are a number of websites that have been set up to resemble original, valid startup companies. Please check diligently.

Fake Mobile Apps

The common way scammers trick cryptocurrency investors is through fake apps available for download through Google Play and the Apple App Store. Please make sure you always go to our official website and social media handles, https://www.placewar.io & https://linktr.ee/placewar

Tweets and Other Social Media Updates

If you’re following KOLs or influencers and executives on social media, you can’t be sure that you’re not following impostor accounts. Fake accounts and credentials are everywhere. Like in all businesses, if people want to do bad things, they will, same as in Blockchain & Cryptocurrencies, where malicious, impersonating bots are rampant.

Scamming Emails

Scammers often announce fake ICOs, or initial coin offerings, as a way to steal substantial funds. Don’t fall for these fake email and website offers. Take your time to look over all the details.

There are many ways that some Internet users exploit unsecured computing systems to mine or steal your assets.
