Overview
This page explains how to approach Phishing Red Flags Checklist with a safety‑first workflow and verifiable checkpoints.
Steps
Start by confirming Mainnet, Nile, or Shasta in the header. Paste a hash like 0xa520f329cca1a6747b… or an address such as Tq99u3cNl0… to open the detail page. Validate status, confirmations, energy and bandwidth cost, then cross‑check values in a secondary explorer if the decision is critical.
Open the token/contract panel to match symbol and decimals and review event logs. For transfers, compare the first and last characters of sender Tq99u3… and receiver T2PAv9… to avoid clipboard mistakes. Use bookmarks for trusted explorers to mitigate phishing risks.
When results look odd, clear cache, refresh, and try another browser. If pending persists, check resources on the account page; staking or adjusting resources can help. Record the TX ID 0xa520f329cca1… for audits and support tickets.
