Dear airdrop masters and novices, I believe that one app you must have for airdrops is Telegram, because this app is similar to China's WeChat, with mini-apps, that is, Telegram game airdrops, and each airdrop project will also create channels and communities in Telegram to convey the latest news, so this is also an app for users and project parties to communicate, but countless novices are cheated of money by scammers in Telegram every day. Today, I will decipher some common scams for you:
1. Multi-signature wallet U withdrawal scam
This scam is really an old one, but there are always newbies who are greedy for small profits and try to get involved. The copy basically says that their contract has been liquidated, and they only have dozens or hundreds of U left. They will give you the mnemonic phrase, first come first served, and you can withdraw the money yourself. But is there really anyone so kind? Of course not. In fact, this wallet is a multi-signature wallet. Their U is basically the TRON chain. You need TRX as a handling fee to withdraw money. When you withdraw money, you find that you need to pay a handling fee. You want USDT and transfer more than 20 TRX. Congratulations, you can’t withdraw it. When you have the handling fee, it will show insufficient authority to withdraw money. Then you will wait for a while and find that your TRX has been transferred out. This is a scam of a multi-signature wallet.
2. Pixiu coin scam - private message you to recommend tokens
When you enter a project community, there will be all kinds of people in it, including big guys and newbies. There are also some people who will chat with you privately. The first sentence is to ask you if you are also playing this airdrop. You say yes, and then he asks you if you have any new airdrops to recommend. Thinking of getting another recommendation reward, you keep chatting with him. Then he will say that he is playing spot trading and give you all kinds of screenshots to tell you that he is awesome and that the coins he hoarded are basically profitable. You are afraid of being cheated and don’t continue to ask, so he really ignores you. This is playing hard to get. Then at night, he suddenly chats with you privately and says that a token will be listed tomorrow, and gives you a contract, asking you to buy dozens of U and make several times the money. Late at night, you are still anxious, and you can’t ask others. You hurriedly enter the contract and exchange tokens, and then you find that you can buy, but you can’t sell. This is the Pixiu coin, which can only go in but not out.
3. Impersonating customer service to send phishing websites or fake wallet addresses
When you are taking advantage of the airdrop, please join a community. There will usually be volunteer administrators in the community to help you answer your questions. When you ask questions in the group at night or at noon, the administrator is on break and no one will pay attention to you. Suddenly, you find that an administrator in the group has sent you a private message. After you tell him the problem, he will say that there is a problem with the binding of your wallet or your website. He will send you his wallet or website, and then you click to link the wallet, and all the money in the wallet will be transferred out directly. In fact, this person is not an administrator, but a scammer who changed his name and avatar. The websites are also their phishing websites. Once the wallet is linked, they have the authority to transfer money.
