  If you come across a crypto phishing scam, the first step is to gather as much evidence as possible. Take screenshots of the scam website or email, and note down any suspicious URLs or email addresses. This evidence will be crucial when reporting the scam to the relevant authorities or platforms. Remember, do not click on any links or provide any personal information to the scammers.
