๐จ Impersonators are pushing โQQL mint passesโโthis phishing scam is targeting NFT veterans
Recently, several accounts on X have been impersonating generative artist Tyler Hobbs and his studio, tagging users with messages like: โClaim your QQL mint pass!โ
The scam isnโt new, but itโs very carefully packaged ๐
๐น The copy borrows real details from the 2022 QQL Dutch auction, making it look like an official comeback
๐น The links lead straight to phishing sites that drain your wallet as soon as you connect it
๐น Some impersonator accounts even have verification badges, and community members have warned that these accounts can evade detection
The result: Some people have already lost assets, while others were stopped at the last step by wallet security extensions.
What do the official sources say?
Tyler Hobbsโs studio has made it clear: there is no mint currently open. Donโt click links or connect your wallet. Art Blocks has also confirmed this is a scam. There is no new public mint, and existing pass holders should continue to use official channels as usual.
My take: Scammers love the โold IP + new perksโ combo because it plays on both nostalgia and fear of missing out. A verification badge no longer guarantees an account is genuine. Just remember: always check the official website for any โlimited-time claim.โ If thereโs no announcement, assume it doesnโt exist.
