Online Safety: How to Protect Yourself from Scammers and Use Our Platforms Safely
In the digital age, online safety is more important than ever. Scammers use various methods to steal your information, money, or identity. Their techniques are diverse, and it’s wise to be aware of them to protect yourself. Therefore, strong security measures are necessary.
We noticed that our customers are often exposed to scammers’ attempts. That’s why it’s crucial that our customers understand the basics of online safety and take steps to protect their data and assets while enhancing their online security when using our SunContract platform and NFT marketplace.
How to Stay Safe Online?
1. Be Careful and Vigilant
Be particularly suspicious of requests to provide personal or sensitive information such as passwords or credit card numbers via email, social media messages, phone calls, or fake websites. If someone suddenly asks you for payment or other sensitive data, verify the request directly with the organization through official channels. Pay attention to suspicious email addresses that differ slightly from official domains and look for grammatical and spelling errors and unusual requests. It’s important to avoid clicking on suspicious links and hover over a URL with your mouse before clicking. Links that ensure secure communication between the website and your computer start with “https:/”. However, the website or its content can still be harmful.
2. Use Updated Software and Security Tools
Ensure your operating system, antivirus programs, firewall, and tools for blocking malicious software (spyware and malware) are updated.
2. Set Strong Passwords
A secure password should be long and contain a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Avoid easily guessed passwords such as birthdays, names, surnames, familiar words, simple and short passwords, sequential numbers and letters, and adjacent keys on the keyboard.

Online Safety When Using Our Services
1. Use Verified Communication Channels Only
Communicate with our company only through verified social media channels listed at the bottom of the SunContract website. These official channels are the safest way to get information about what our company offers, where, and how. In case of doubt, you can always contact us to verify the information.
2. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
2FA provides additional security. To enable it on the SunContract platform, visit SunContract 2FA. This feature requires you to enter a second form of identification, such as a code sent to your phone, in addition to your password.
3. Recognize Official Communication
SunContract employees will never contact you first via social media or pose as official representatives to send attachments or unverified links or solicit payments, settlements of negative balances, etc. Always verify the sender and the source of the message before responding. You can also reach out to us through the aforementioned verified SunContract channels.
4. Check the Domain in the Email
Check the sender’s email domain to ensure it matches the official SunContract domain. Avoid clicking on unverified links or opening attachments from unknown sources.
5. Beware of Cloned Websites and Fake Giveaways
Scammers can create a cloned website and fake giveaways to steal your information and assets. For example, SunContract never gives away SNC tokens. Never send funds to unverified individuals or addresses; it is always a scam.
