Overview
This page explains how to approach Phishing Red Flags Playbook with a safety‑first workflow and verifiable checkpoints.
Steps
Start by confirming Mainnet, Nile, or Shasta in the header. Paste a hash like 0x7f2f36e1832d5023a4… or an address such as TCR3jGmZaO… 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 TCR3jG… and receiver TBzrFi… 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 0x7f2f36e1832d… for audits and support tickets.
