How to play Scam or Legit?
Every day brings five cards, the same for everybody. Each card is something crypto users really get: a message, an email, a website address, a wallet pop-up, a post or an offer. Swipe the card, tap Scam or Legit, or press ← or →. The first three cards are easy. The last two are harder: one swapped letter in an address, say, or a legit card that only looks alarming.
After each pick you see the verdict, what gave it away, what to do, and the public warning the pattern comes from. A day takes about a minute. Your streak and your field guide of scams caught stay on your device.
What you learn
The patterns behind real crypto scams: phishing, fake airdrops, giveaway scams, impersonation scams, recovery scams, pig butchering, Ponzi schemes and permit phishing. You also learn the rule behind many of them: nobody honest ever asks for your seed phrase.
Are these real scam messages?
No. Each scam card is invented, copied from a real pattern. No real person is shown, and no real project is ever called a scam. A real brand appears only as the one being impersonated.
Where do the scam patterns come from?
Every scam pattern has a public source: a warning from the FTC, the FBI's IC3, or the impersonated company's own security page. The reveal names it.
Can I click the addresses on a card?
No. Nothing on a card is a link. Addresses are plain text, because a lookalike address could be a live scam site.
When are the new cards?
At 00:00 UTC: 7 pm Central in summer time, 6 pm Central in winter.
Do I need a wallet or an account?
No. No sign-up, no wallet, no money. It works on a phone or a computer.
Is this advice?
No. It is a game, not advice.
