  • Never use pre-generated seed phrases
  • Verify device authenticity

​
Recognizing Scams

​
Common Scams

How it works:
  • Fake website looks identical to real one
  • URL is slightly different
  • Steals credentials when you log in
Examples:
  • ❌ fortis-arena.io (fake)
  • ❌ fortisarena.xyz (fake)
  • ✅ fortisarena.io (real)
  • ✅ app.fortisarena.io (real)
Prevention:
  • Bookmark official sites
  • Check URL carefully
  • Look for SSL lock (🔒)
How it works:
  • “Support agent” DMs you first
  • Asks for account info or wallet details
  • Offers to “help” with a problem
Red Flags:
  • Anyone DMing you first claiming to be support
  • Asking for your password
  • Asking you to connect to “verification” websites
  • Pressure to act quickly
Remember: Real FortisArena support will NEVER:
  • DM you first
  • Ask for your password
  • Ask for your seed phrase
  • Ask you to send crypto for “verification”
How it works:
  • “Send 1 FRT, get 2 FRT back”
  • Fake celebrity endorsements
  • Time pressure to “act now”
Reality:
  • If it sounds too good to be true, it is
  • No one gives away free crypto for sending crypto
  • Legitimate giveaways never require sending funds first
How it works:
  • Malicious browser extension
  • Fake mobile apps
  • Modified wallet software
Prevention:
  • Only download from official sources
  • Check reviews and download counts
  • Verify publisher identity

​
Red Flags - STOP Immediately If You See:

Never proceed if:
  • Someone asks for your password
  • Someone asks for your seed phrase (FortisArena doesn’t use these)
  • Promises of guaranteed returns
  • Unsolicited DMs offering help
