Usually digital platforms and wallets constitute a special craving for hackers and thieves, especially as it is difficult to track them or it is difficult to cancel the money transfer process, such as electronic banks such as PayPal.

Therefore, they start sending spam or obtaining data from users of platforms and electronic wallets in any form.

I almost accidentally hit a scam today, after I bought the FIL coin on the Binance platform, I got a message on my e-mail that I got 20 bonus coins.

I did not doubt it at first, especially since I bought the currency a few hours ago, so how did the hacker or thief know that I had bought it so I thought that this message was actually from the Binance platform.

The email of the message is completely similar to the Binance platform and the messages that come from the platform. In fact, for the first time, I believe a news story was sent to me via e-mail without returning to the platform and confirming the news or without asking for support.

I opened the message, and here was the surprise, a platform completely similar to the Binance platform, and I have a Login screen exactly as it is on the Binance platform, but I started to doubt it and check the URL before I type anything I definitely found different from the platform and .xk I was confused by some doubts and it was confirmed when I opened the Binance platform from Google and found that I was already registered with it and did not need to login.

Immediately, I canceled the page, reported an email to Google and the Binance platform, and prohibited any messages from receiving it.

Which made me confused how they knew that I bought that coin today !!!

I also changed the password of my account and my e-mail to increase the confirmation. I also removed some untrusted applications from my phone.

Please take care of any email that you receive.
