Lesson learned-Never trust any token unless contract is legit and official

I am newbie in crypto trading. And I learned that ETH tokens pose a huge risk even if token seems to be authentic. Tried to swap my eth funds for Tether Gold XAUT, but got zero balanced fake tokens. Lesson learned as I checked later for second time to find out Tether Gold legit contract. Contract was fake and did not match with the legit one. I will never trust any tokens but it is very sad that those tokens were listed at coinbase web wallet to swap. Should not be. Thus I paid for that lesson ca €10 I think that these risks are discrediting ethereum as safe network. Because if user has no other option than believing that contract is genuine then any fake blockchain checking site may serve it as legit. Fortunally I transfered fake tokens to my cold wallet, so I just created new ethereum account in it to change address as previous is now a little compromised as scammers can scan and track my ethereum account balance. Will leave compromised as it is and will not touch it anymore.
