During the Spring Festival, AI face-swapping scam cases are on the rise. Many people use deepfake technology to impersonate acquaintances, celebrities, or official personnel, tricking victims into revealing funds or sensitive information through video calls, voice messages, and other methods. Especially for crypto users, scammers may pose as exchange customer service representatives or project team members to steal your private keys, seed phrases, or wallet authorization. Be sure to stay vigilant: do not click on unfamiliar links easily, do not confirm identity information during video calls, and do not disclose your private keys to anyone. If you encounter suspicious situations, contact official channels directly for verification. A little caution can prevent a lot of loss.

Wow, is deepfake this powerful now? We still need to watch out for this during the Spring Festival. --- Never reveal your private key, once it's gone, it's gone. --- Exchange customer service will never proactively contact you, remember that. --- Damn, it's scam season again, same tricks as last year. --- Video call to verify identity? Haha, that's impossible. Just hang up and call the official number again. --- That's why I never answer unknown calls. So annoying.

Spring Festival scams are so rampant. Never reveal your private key. My friend almost got fooled by a face-swapping scammer.

Another wave of scams is coming. Last year, I saw many friends fall for this trick, and their private keys were leaked, resulting in immediate zeroing out. Everyone, please be extremely careful with your private keys. Saying them out loud is a huge risk, and video verification of identity is also nonsense. Deepfake technology can now fool the eye. During the Spring Festival, scammers are especially active, just waiting for us to let our guard down. Even official customer service can be fake, so be cautious—it's better to be safe. These days, don't click on random links. One wrong move, and your wallet could be gone. I know someone who was directly emptied because of this.

The scams during the Spring Festival are really ruthless. My friends are all sharing this... Private keys are truly a matter of life and death, don't slip up.

Private keys are really not something to be casually shared. Among people I know, some have been scammed. The technology behind fake videos can now fool the eye, making it hard to defend against.
