[PSA] Reminder not to click any links, ever

When you want to visit a project's website, absolutely don't click any links. Not on reddit, not on twitter, not on telegram, not on google search, just don't. And if you do, no matter how legit the site looks, don't connect your wallet and don't approve any contracts.

Just a moment ago there was a normally-looking post / project update here on reddit but instead of the real website of the project, the post linked to a perfect 1:1 copy of the website on a domain differing by just one letter. When I pointed it out, I was massively downvoted in an effort to hide my message, but fortunately the mods quickly reacted to the report and removed the thread. That's just one example, and there are many. Ads in google aiming to frontrun the result for actual website, links posted on twitter by "verified" accounts - often impersonating known people, sometimes hacked. Etc. etc.

If you are interested in a project that someone is writing about, instead of clicking any links they provide or googling for it, go to coingecko, search the name/ticker and go to the website shown on the right. If you prefer coinmarketcap, the website is linked on the left. Might be different on mobile, but anyhow, the official website is always there. Same with twitter, discord, telegram links etc. And even then, don't trust - verify! For example you can check domain whois for registration date, typically it should be at least a little bit older than the project itself. If it's a few days old, it's a scam, or perhaps the whole "project" is a scam.

And it's a little bit off-topic, but maybe just don't connect your "main" wallet to any random contract. Have a separate one with just a few pennies for "testing" purposes. Stay safe!
