General education
Evergreen Study explains how scams work and how people protect their keys, devices and accounts. All guides, checklists and the "Spot the scam" exercise are general information for educational purposes.
Not advice
Nothing on this site is financial, investment, legal, tax or professional security advice, and none of it takes your personal circumstances into account. If you need advice about money, contact a licensed adviser in your country. If you are a victim of fraud, contact your bank and the police.
Not an offer or recommendation
We do not offer, recommend or promote any crypto-asset, token, platform, exchange, wallet or security product. We describe concepts — such as recovery phrases, two-factor authentication or durable backups — without endorsing any provider.
We cannot recover funds
We do not trace transactions, contact platforms on anyone's behalf, or work with recovery firms. Anyone who claims to act for Evergreen Study to recover money is a fraudster.
Examples and scenarios
The scenarios in our guides and quiz are illustrations written by our editors. They are not accounts of real people. Example web addresses use the reserved ".example" ending.
Accuracy
We base our content on official sources and review it regularly. Scams evolve quickly, however, and reporting channels and recommendations change. Each guide shows the date of its latest review. Please report errors to info@evergreenstudy.com.
Links
We link to regulators, police and consumer agencies, cybersecurity agencies and technical standards. We have no control over those websites.
Risks
Crypto-assets involve serious risks, including the total loss of money. Please read our Risk notice.
Liability
To the extent permitted by law, the publisher accepts no liability for loss or damage arising from the use of this website or reliance on its content. See also our Terms of Use.
