Cautionary Steps To Protect Your Yellow Card Account.

1. Do not share your details.
   Your login details provide access to your funds, and it is vital that you keep them private and never share them with anyone. If you receive a message from someone claiming to be a Yellow Card representative asking for your login details, be assured they are not Yellow Card representatives but fraudulent individuals seeking to steal your funds. 
   Yellow Card respects your privacy and would never ask for your account password or any personal detail relating to the security of your account. 
2. Do not make payments outside of your personal wallet.
   Yellow Card will never ask you to pay an investment fee or a deposit to a random account number. Signing up on Yellow Card is free, and you do not need to pay any fee of any sort to enjoy our services. 
3. Never let anyone trade or invest for you.
   Yellow Card is not an investment platform; we don't promise profits or returns. If anyone claiming to be a Yellow Card representative reaches out to you offering profits on crypto or to trade on your behalf, they are most like a fraudster. Refrain from letting anyone trade or invest for you - Block and report them immediately.  
4. Don’t send money to benefit from our giveaway.   
   Yellow Card will never ask you to pay a fee to get a prize from our giveaways. If anyone asks you to pay a deposit before you can get your winnings from a Yellow Card giveaway campaign - block and report them immediately.
