Are you seeing phrases like "This is your only chance" or "Your account will be frozen soon" frequently in the links? Be alert. Scammers are well aware of the power of psychology; creating a sense of urgency and panic is their most common tactic. When you are emotionally hijacked by such messages, rational judgment often short-circuits, and your defenses collapse accordingly.
Genuine platform notifications will never handle account issues through suspicious links. Official channels of legitimate exchanges are always transparent and verifiable. When encountering such messages, your first reaction should be to stay calm, directly visit the official website or app to verify, and never follow suspicious links from unknown sources. Remember: Fear is the scammer's best ally and also our best defense—refuse to be driven by it.

I've seen this trick too many times, and someone always falls for it... Really, every time I see the phrase "just this once," I want to laugh and cry at the same time. How can people still believe it?

I've seen this trick before, "Only this once"? Laughing out loud, it's a classic scammer's move.

Really, don't click on those fake links, just go directly to the official website. It's that simple, and people still fall for it.
---
Psychology? It's just scaring people. Calm down for two seconds, and you'll see through it.
---
Hey, you're right. Fear is indeed the best shield and the best sword.
---
"Account frozen"? I spit on that. Legitimate exchanges would never notify you like that.
---
The key question is how many people actually get scared... Wake up, everyone.

Just delete it. Delete it once, delete it again. My account, my rules.

Ha, another wave of phishing links, huh? The "account frozen" excuse is getting annoying. It always manages to panic some people into making reckless decisions...

I've seen this trick too many times; someone always falls for it every time. As soon as the link appears, they say the account is frozen, so I just delete it as spam.

Ah, I've seen this trick too many times. Every time, they scare you that your account will be gone, rush you to click a link, same old routine.

Coming back with this again? I've seen too many people get scared and directly transfer their coins out, I'm truly amazed. Just take two seconds to calmly open the official website and verify, is it really that hard?
