Why it matters
Buying a token because an account appears associated with a celebrity or company is hazardous when accounts can be spoofed or compromised. Fraud risk remains separate from the question of whether a token is categorized as a security.
What to watch
Verify the promoter and contract from official channels and avoid signing unexplained wallet approvals.
