Fake websites are versions of real websites that look almost identical to legitimate cryptocurrency exchanges.
These websites trick people into investing or trading on their platform by offering attractive deals such as free cryptocurrency, low exchange fees, good prices, or even gifts.
Some of the more advanced scammers will even buy ads to promote their fake website, making it appear at the top of search results pages.
To protect yourself from fake Swyftx sites, always check you're using the official Swyftx website. Type our full URL into the address bar rather than clicking on the first search result or bookmark the official Swyftx websites.

Things to watch out for:
- Does the website address have different letters or symbols but look like our official website? For example, Svvyftx or www-swyftx.com.
- Is the website loading slower than usual?
- Does the sign-in page look different?
- Are other links on the sign-in page not working?
