🚫 Common Bitcoin Scams to Watch For

  • Impersonators: Scammers pretending to be 1Bitcoin.ca support on social media or phone calls.

  • “Guaranteed returns” promises: If someone claims you’ll double your Bitcoin—it’s a scam.

  • Fake investment platforms: These often ask for remote access to your computer or Bitcoin wallet.


🔒 How to Stay Safe

  • We’ll never call you. If someone says they’re from 1Bitcoin.ca and they’re on the phone—it’s fake.

  • We’ll never ask for your password. Not over email, not on chat, not ever.

  • Use 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) on your account.

  • Never send Bitcoin to a wallet you don’t control or trust.

  • Don’t share your screen with strangers who offer “help.”


✅ Tips for Real Security

  • Use a hardware wallet or trusted mobile wallet.

  • Store passwords with a password manager.

  • Enable email notifications for login and withdrawal activity.


If You Think You’ve Been Targeted

  • Stop all communication.

  • Do not send more Bitcoin.
