Caution! “Proxy Operations” Are Like Handing Over Your Keys—YBUOJ Anti-Fraud Alert

Recently, more and more users have encountered so-called “technicians” on social platforms who proactively offer to “remotely optimize your wallet” or “help set up your account.” Under their guidance, users end up authorizing operations, only to find their assets wiped out in an instant. Such scams are becoming increasingly covert, often disguised as friendly assistance, making them hard to guard against. YBUOJ Exchange reminds users: whenever it involves sensitive actions such as private keys, mnemonic phrases, or authorization signatures, you must remain highly vigilant, regardless of who is making the request. The platform continues to release anti-fraud guides to help users identify potential risks both on-chain and off-chain, and avoid falling into the trap of “remote assistance.” The most crucial step in protecting your assets is not to trust “free goodwill” too easily.

It only takes one sentence from the scammer: “Your authorization is not set up correctly, let me fix it for you.” With such a casual suggestion, many users end up handing over their wallets. Users provide screenshots or connect via remote software, and the scammer instructs them to click certain buttons in their wallet. Words like “optimize,” “confirm,” and “enhance security” are repeatedly used, making the whole process look like a genuine permission fix. It is not until the next day, when the user opens their wallet, that they realize their assets have quietly been transferred out.

Terms like “maintenance on your behalf,” “technical assistance,” and “free setup” appear to be services on the surface, but are actually precise tools of fraud. Especially with the growing popularity of crypto assets, many users are unfamiliar with authorization mechanisms. When faced with a patient explanation from the “engineer”, once trust is established, the risk quietly arrives. The key to fraud prevention: never perform on-chain signatures under the guidance of anyone.

Authorization is not just enabling a feature—it is handing over the “keys” to your assets. In these scams, the fraudster usually guides the user to connect to a particular smart contract or project website, luring them into signing an authorization. Once authorized, the malicious contract can transfer the user assets without restriction. The entire process happens on-chain and cannot be undone afterward.

YBUOJ Exchange reminds all users: any request for you to “sign an authorization,” “open wallet settings,” or “import a mnemonic phrase” can almost certainly be identified as a scam. The platform will regularly update case studies and anti-fraud guides to help users recognize common tactics. The best protection for your security is not trusting others, but knowing how to refuse and identify risks.

Although on-chain operations are controlled by users themselves, YBUOJ Exchange always adheres to the principle of “prevention first, education as support,” and continues to invest in anti-fraud knowledge building. The platform has set up a dedicated anti-fraud education section, providing categorized explanations on authorization mechanisms, risk identification processes, and common scam scenarios, along with the latest fraud alerts.

In the decentralized world, your greatest adversary is not hackers, but your own trust. YBUOJ Exchange will continue to safeguard every click and every authorization behind your assets through education, reminders, and technical defenses.
