If “customer support” messages you privately urging you to claim an airdrop, don’t rush into following their instructions.
1️⃣ Exit the private message first, then open the official app or website yourself to look for the promotion. Don’t click links they send you, in case they lead to a fake page. If you can’t find the promotion, stop there. Check the official page for the eligibility requirements.
2️⃣ If you have questions, contact customer support yourself through an official channel. An official-looking profile picture or username doesn’t prove someone’s identity, and don’t let anyone in a private message verify their identity on your behalf.
3️⃣ Never share your recovery phrase, private key, or verification code, and don’t agree to share your screen. These give access to your account; they aren’t proof that you’re eligible for a reward.
4️⃣ If you hear “transfer money first to unlock your reward,” stop immediately. The airdrop hasn’t been confirmed, so don’t send your own money first.
5️⃣ Even after connecting your wallet, don’t blindly confirm every step. If you don’t understand a signature request or authorization pop-up, reject it. Make sure you understand what you’re allowing—don’t assume every step is safe just because you’re “claiming an airdrop.”
