How to identify phishing emails and avoid crypto & fiat transaction scams

Updated today

Staying alert to phishing emails and scams is essential to protecting your assets. Follow the tips below to help you recognize and prevent common fraud tactics targeting RedotPay users.

1. Verify the Sender’s Email Address

Scammers often spoof email addresses to impersonate RedotPay.

What to check:

  • Legitimate emails should always end in @redotpay.com. Emails from domains like @redotpay-support.com or @redotpay.vip are suspicious.

  • Use RedotPay’s Verification Channel on the official website to confirm the sender’s address.

  • In the RedotPay App, tap “Contact Support” in the bottom-right corner. Verified sender addresses will display an official badge.

    Note: Email addresses can be faked. Even if the verification tool confirms the domain, it does not guarantee the message is genuine. Always stay cautious and contact support if unsure.

2. Be Cautious of Email or Message Content

Scammers may reach out via email, social platforms, or messaging apps pretending to be RedotPay staff. Here’s how to protect yourself:

Never Share Sensitive Information

RedotPay will never ask for:

  • Wallet recovery phrases

  • Passwords

  • Full card number, CVV or expiry date

  • Crypto or fiat transfers to unknown addresses

    Even if the message appears legitimate, it may be spoofed.

Submit Suspicious Emails for Review

Received a suspicious request? Submit the .eml file to RedotPay for verification.

How to get the .eml file:

  1. Open the email and click the three-dot menu (top-right corner).

  2. Choose “Download message” or “View original.”

  3. Upload the file via the RedotPay website or App support portal.

Don’t Click Suspicious Links

Never click on links unless you’ve verified the sender. Phishing sites may steal your login credentials or assets.

3. Use the Anti-Phishing Code

The Anti-Phishing Code is a security feature that helps confirm if emails are truly from RedotPay.

What to do:

  • Check if the email includes your personal anti-phishing code.

  • If the code is missing or incorrect, treat the message as suspicious.

To set it up:

  1. Log in to your RedotPay account.

  2. Go to Account & Security > Anti-Phishing Code.

  3. Create a unique code (e.g., a word or phrase you recognize).

    Tip: Enabling your Anti-Phishing Code adds a powerful layer of email protection. If the code isn’t present or doesn't match, it’s a major red flag.
