Social Media Red Flags

Which combination is the core pattern of a social media scam?

• A big follower count, a blue checkmark and a professional logo
• Unsolicited contact, urgency, and a request for money or secrets
• A post marked "#ad" and a link in the bio

An online contact who has never asked you for anything starts talking about a trading app. Why is that the moment to stop?

• Because talking about money online is against platform rules
• Because legitimate apps are never mentioned by friends
• Because steering you to an unfamiliar investment app is the turning point of a pig-butchering scam
