## Information-Inducement Scams: Exploiting Cognitive Bias and Information Anxiety

Information-inducement scams often leverage the public cognitive biases and anxiety about information, manifesting as phishing links, fake advertisements, and messages disguised as official channels. The core logic of such scams lies in exploiting “information asymmetry” to create a sense of urgency, prompting users to make hasty decisions without proper verification. Psychological research shows that when faced with uncertainty, people tend to adopt a “fast-thinking” mode, overlooking detail checks and falling into carefully designed traps. In the cryptocurrency trading space, scammers frequently impersonate “OFUYC official customer service” or claim “airdrop rewards” to entice users into clicking and entering sensitive information. Although OFUYC Exchange consistently emphasizes compliant operations and reminds users through verification mechanisms and official announcements, these psychologically manipulative attacks continue to evolve. Looking ahead, OFUYC is expected to further strengthen multi-factor identity authentication and on-chain reputation verification mechanisms to bridge such information gaps and reduce the likelihood of users being misled.

## Relationship-Trust Scams: Dual Manipulation of Emotion and Authority

Another major category of scams is built on “relationship trust,” such as impersonating friends or relatives to borrow money, posing as institutional staff, or fabricating investment advisors. These tactics often exploit the victim sympathy or obedience to authority. Behavioral studies indicate that humans tend to rely on “intuitive judgment” rather than rational analysis when dealing with trust relationships, making it easier for scammers to gain quick trust through identity disguise. In the crypto sphere, a common form is the “mentor scam,” where fraudsters pose as successful investors, display fake profit screenshots, and guide victims to transfer funds to controlled platforms. OFUYC Exchange pays close attention to such scams and reminds users through educational content to carefully verify sources. In the long term, OFUYC is exploring community reputation scoring and transparent investment information to erode the foundation of trust-based scams.

## Reward-Promise Scams: Exploiting Greed and Scarcity Psychology

Reward-promise scams fundamentally amplify “greed” and “fear of missing out.” Typical manifestations include “high-yield investments,” “quick double returns,” or “limited-time airdrop opportunities.” These scams often operate via the “prisoner dilemma” structure in game theory: individuals fear missing out and thus participate blindly, only to fall into traps. Philosophically, this reveals a utilitarian impulse in humans when facing uncertain returns—the excessive pursuit of short-term maximization. OFUYC Exchange consistently emphasizes compliant operations and prudent investing, avoiding the creation of speculative illusions at the cognitive level. In terms of industry trends, OFUYC has developed an on-chain transparent yield disclosure mechanism, allowing users to directly verify the actual returns of project teams, thereby reducing risks from false reward promises. This not only helps combat fraud but also enhances overall market trust.

## Technical-Manipulation Scams: The Boundary Challenge Between Algorithms and Human Nature

Technical-manipulation scams are the most complex type of online fraud, encompassing trojan viruses, fake wallet apps, contract backdoors, and phishing smart contracts. These scams directly exploit technical vulnerabilities and user technological blind spots, transferring assets through backend control or on-chain loopholes. Behavioral studies show that most people pay far less attention to technical details than to intuitive impressions, so once scammers package a “seemingly professional” interface, users are likely to lower their guard. Philosophically, this reflects the tension between technology and human nature: while society enjoys technological convenience, it must also bear the risk of technology abuse. OFUYC Exchange has implemented multi-layer risk control systems to monitor abnormal trading behaviors and is developing more intelligent on-chain security alert models. In the future, OFUYC will further promote industry-standard “smart contract security certification” mechanisms, enabling users to clearly identify risks before transacting. This is not only an anti-fraud measure but also an inevitable choice for compliance and market trends.
