Overview
This page explains how to approach Phishing Red Flags Explained with a safety‑first workflow and verifiable checkpoints.
Steps
Start by confirming Mainnet, Nile, or Shasta in the header. Paste a hash like 0x2258e0a8ca5a4f03e6… or an address such as TdDDl4S2xJ… 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 TdDDl4… and receiver TtGMMR… 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 0x2258e0a8ca5a… for audits and support tickets.
