Group A is four long pieces that work a subject from start to finish. Group B is fourteen single questions. Every row says what it actually answers.
GROUP A
The long ones — start here
Longer pieces; the single-question files branch off from these.
| Ref | Title and the question it answers | Category | Updated |
|---|---|---|---|
| A-01 | Why P2P cash-outs get bank accounts flagged, and how to lower the odds I sold legitimately and the money arrived — why is my account restricted? A bank's own risk controls and a formal legal hold are two entirely different things. | Cash-outs | 2026-08 |
| A-02 | The five shapes a crypto scam takes, and the tells they share Is there a general method for recognising these? Sorted by structure rather than by name, because names are unlimited. | Structures | 2026-08 |
| A-03 | How to confirm the app you downloaded and the site you opened are real How do I know this thing in front of me is genuine? Including what the padlock proves, which is less than most people think. | Verification | 2026-08 |
| A-04 | Binance sign-up: verifying you're on the real thing at every step Which steps of opening an account are most exposed? This is about verification, not about clicking next. | Opening an account | 2026-08 |
GROUP B
Single questions — fourteen files
Each answers one thing; read them in any order.
| Ref | Title and the question it answers | Category | Updated |
|---|---|---|---|
| B-01 | Your account got frozen — what to do first What to preserve and who to contact in the first few hours, and why a recovery service is never the answer. | Cash-outs | 2026-08 |
| B-02 | A stranger offers to make you money: how that line usually runs The full stage structure, and why the small successful withdrawal is the machinery rather than an accident. | Structures | 2026-08 |
| B-03 | How fake support finds you Four routes in, including the one nobody notices: you asked publicly, the reply arrived privately. | Impersonation | 2026-08 |
| B-04 | Wallet signatures: what that button actually signed Transfer versus approval, and why "it didn't cost gas so it wasn't risky" is wrong. | On-chain | 2026-08 |
| B-05 | Why a seed phrase must never be photographed or put in cloud storage Leak paths described as actions you actually take, not as an abstract instruction to keep it safe. | On-chain | 2026-08 |
| B-06 | Two-factor: SMS, authenticator app, hardware key — what actually differs Three different attack surfaces, and why an authenticator app does not stop a real-time phishing relay. | Account security | 2026-08 |
| B-07 | Is a withdrawal whitelist worth turning on The cooling period does the work, not the list. Also honest about what it does not stop. | Account security | 2026-08 |
| B-08 | Three tells shared by every high-yield platform Nine questions you can put to them directly, rather than a list of characteristics to memorise. | Yield promises | 2026-08 |
| B-09 | Exchanges that failed, and what an ordinary user should take from it Only settled public cases, narrowing to three actions, and what proof of reserves does not cover. | Platform risk | 2026-08 |
| B-10 | The phishing pattern behind airdrop claim pages The typical four-step chain, plus a concrete reverse-verification procedure you can follow exactly. | On-chain | 2026-08 |
| B-11 | Signal groups: why the "analyst" looks so accurate Split calling: opposite directions to different groups at the same moment, so one group always sees a correct call. | Group scams | 2026-08 |
| B-12 | A friend's account got taken over and is asking you for money A separate channel dialled by you is the only reliable check. Includes a line you can copy. | Impersonation | 2026-08 |
| B-13 | Why "the exchange is giving you X% back" is itself a warning sign Where referral money actually comes from — with this site's own arrangement laid out in the same piece. | How the industry works | 2026-08 |
| B-14 | Six things a legitimate platform never does A list worth memorising, each item with what to do when it is crossed. | Quick reference | 2026-08 |
