# Suspicious Tokens

The DeFi space is dynamic, but it’s crucial to remain cautious. Here are some red flags to watch out for:

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you encounter suspicious activity, **please report it to our support team using** [**this form**](https://airtable.com/apphVKteb5F5aAPJ8/shrnufX9aFoscAWz4). Your vigilance helps keep our community safe!
{% endhint %}

* **No or limited information:** Be wary of tokens with scant details about the project, team, or tokenomics.
* **Unknown or inexperienced team:** Research the project's team. Lack of transparency or a history of scams is a red flag.
* **Hidden Fees:** Watch for unexpectedly high transaction fees that could erode your profits.
* **Unequal Token Distribution:** Disproportionate allocation to creators could lead to unfair control.
* **Rug Pull:** If creators suddenly withdraw all liquidity, it prevents investors from selling their tokens.
* **Honey Pot:** Contracts designed to trap investors by preventing token sales.
* **Opaque Token Economics:** Projects with unclear or misleading financial models.
* **Unrelinquished Ownership:** If creators retain control over the contract, it poses risks.
* **Inflatable Supply:** Tokens whose supply can be increased without notice, diluting value.

✅ Always conduct thorough research (DYOR) before investing in any token. Verify the token's contract address, examine its code, and investigate the project's team and roadmap.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.h2.finance/features/trade/import-and-manage-tokens/suspicious-tokens.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
