Get Paid Safely Kit — Address Verification, Payment Checklists & Incident Response Playbook

Get Paid Safely

Wrong-network and scam prevention for freelancers who are paid in stablecoin. A crypto payment either arrives in full or is gone. There is no chargeback, no dispute button and no bank to call — so every safeguard has to sit before you press send. This kit turns that into a written procedure you can run in two minutes per payment.

What is inside

• The guide. The five ways money is actually lost, and how recoverable each one is. How to build a receiving profile once. The five address checks. The test transfer done properly. Memo and tag networks. Fees and shortfalls. The scams, with the sentences that end them. Verifying an incoming payment in six checks.
• Three printable checklists. Receiving setup, before every payment, and client red flags. One page each, designed for a desk and not a screen.
• Incident Response Playbook. The first hour after a payment goes wrong, classified by who controls the destination, with the message templates for exchange recovery forms and counterparties.
• Payment Safety Register (spreadsheet, six sheets). Your verified address register, client payment profiles, payments verified on-chain, an incident log, red flag screening, and a calculated summary that shows when the procedure has slipped.
• A one-page rules sheet for clients and a payment incident report form, both editable in Word.
• Two bonuses: a print-and-fold address verification card, and twelve client message scripts for the conversations that need to stay calm.

The idea in one line

Addresses are copied from a register you built, never from transaction history — because the most effective attack in this space works by putting a convincing look-alike address into your history and waiting for you to copy it.

Stated honestly

This is educational material, not legal, tax or financial advice, and it is not a recovery service: some mistakes cannot be undone by anyone, and the guide says which. It installs nothing, touches no wallet, and never asks for a key or recovery phrase. Exchange policies and contract addresses change, so the kit teaches verification against primary sources instead of asking you to trust a printed list.
