Recently, there is a case worth warning about. A financial app sent suspicious notifications to a group of users on Friday, asking them to transfer $10,000 into Bitcoin and Ethereum wallets, then promoting "triple returns within three hours." This kind of scheme is a classic scam, but some people still fell for it. The related screenshots are widely discussed on Reddit.



This incident highlights several issues: first, the authenticity of push notifications is hard to verify, and many people instinctively trust messages from official apps; second, the promise of "quick and huge profits" always has a market, especially in the crypto space; third, the irreversible nature of crypto wallet transfers means that once sent, they are almost impossible to recover.

Think about it—if it were a legitimate financial app, would it ask you to transfer funds via push notifications? Legitimate platforms would never promise such outrageous returns. So, when faced with such requests, your first reaction should be to question. Protect your private keys and seed phrases, and never transfer to unfamiliar addresses under any circumstances—that's the most basic self-protection.
