How to stay safe using DeFi Saver
We can never emphasize the importance of staying safe when using decentralized finance protocols and apps enough. Besides the always present smart contract risk, there are several additional factors that one should consider and pay attention to stay safe from scam attempts in the form of phishing, cloaking, fraudulent search adverts, and others.
Here are several things you should always keep in mind when using DeFi Saver:
Always check the URL One of the most frequent scams is tied to users using search engines to visit our website and application. Scammers love to abuse search engines to direct users to “copies” and fake versions of our website. Always make sure that the URL you are visiting to interact with our app is defisaver.com and app.defisaver.com. The easiest way to mitigate the risk of opening a fraudulent, fake site is to bookmark the URL and always open DeFi Saver through the bookmark.
Beware of search engine ads While we may promote DeFi Saver using search engine ads in the future, this is currently not the case and search ads are unfortunately often the way that scammers will try to get users to a fake site where they will try to drive users into giving away their private key or secret words (seed phrase). This is most often done using URLs that resemble defisaver.com. For example, there have recently been deflsaver.com and defsaver.com. If you ever notice anyone impersonating our app, please report this to us via Twitter, Discord, or the in-app chat widget.
To wrap up, we will never ask for:
Your private key
Your seed phrase
Your MetaMask or other web3 wallet passwords
