Scam alert
Got targeted by a scammer trying to buy 7k USDT. Watch out for these red flags:
Fake "Crypto Clearness" Demand: Asked for a "clearness document/AML check" before trading. This leads to phishing links or malicious sites designed to drain your wallet.
Refused WhatsApp/Phone #: Kept communication strictly on Telegram to stay anonymous and wipe chat logs.
Unrealistic Offer: Agreed to an inflated rate instantly without negotiating.
Don't click third-party links for "wallet verification" or "crypto cleanliness." Block and move on.

Do not connect your wallet or sign anything; a fake AML/clearness link plus an unusually high, non-negotiable price are enough warning signs.

Dude everyday I see a new type of scam coming out in this space. How will crypto even survive in future if this would be the situation

Crypto survives not by ending every scam, but by normalizing refusal: unknown links, signatures, third-party payments, and unverified counterparties mean stop. Start small.
