On social media platforms, any unsolicited request from strangers for a transfer can generally be considered a scam. This rule has virtually no exceptions.
No matter how the other party disguises their identity—claiming to be a blogger, influencer, or a known friend—any involvement of money should raise your alertness. Those carefully crafted excuses (travel expenses, emergencies, investment sharing, etc.) may sound reasonable but should still be approached with caution.
More covertly, scammers may steal others' information to operate on various social platforms, creating fake identities to build trust. Once you let your guard down and make a transfer, the funds may never be recovered.
Therefore, the key is: protect your wallet's private keys and personal information from leaks, and be suspicious of all active money requests. Safety always comes first.

Isn't this just a variant of catching the falling knife, just with a different scam disguise?

I've seen too many people fall here, and there really are no exceptions.
Once your private key is leaked, it's game over.

Crypto people all understand, there's no free lunch in the sky, only traps
Really, I've seen too many people lose everything just because of a phrase like "investment doubles"
Some scammers are truly ruthless, they can even hack your friend's account and talk to you in a very convincing way... that's the real horror
Whoever dares to touch the keys and private keys will be doomed, don't ask why, it's a bloody lesson

Hmm... I've seen too many cases of scams, I really don't understand why some people still click on those transfer links.
