Your wallet is likely to be hacked recently if you use this link. I use the link in the token to swap this token from my wallet. Then the FRX token in my wallet is transferred to another wallet without swapping the token. I think it's a hacking link etbswap.com

Why do I get the impression that there are lots of ongoing airdrop frauds that drain the token out from your wallet, like this one that was recently posted? If the token has been authorized for swapping activity, the same results will occur. This is also the first time I encountered such case.

[1] [Scam Alert] Beware of Airdrops that will drain tokens out of your address. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5350998.msg57538186#msg57538186)

In addition, the token appears to be a dead coin.

This is the first time I have faced such a situation. How can anyone access my wallet? How can I transfer my token? I am shocked.

Which makes this obvious that it is a scam but I can see why people would fall for this type of scam if the coin was not already dead.

Some malicious code executed via the contract. You could check the recent news on Thorchain, a prime example.

When it comes to fake apps and phishing sites or links then most likely you would really be losing up your coins and this isnt something new into this market.

How does anyone could access your wallet? There are several ways to do so but its on bit on the technical side of things neither you do end up using a shady app

or being phished. Take this as a lesson learn and would be aware on next time similar situations for you to avoid such indicident.

These are fake tokens scammers send them to almost every wallet and when you go to the details of the token you will find a website there you get the option to claim or swap. And when you click on it your wallet will ask for transaction approval. And when you approve that transaction then all your well-known tokens will be sent to the scammer's wallet.

I have already warned my local community about this.

I have not received this airdrop but this is what worries me about DeFi. In order to interact with smart contracts you typically have to give approval for them to use an unlimited amount of funds from your wallet. This is a security issue that makes it possible for attackers to steal your funds through these scam airdrops.

there are tons of those tokens that has scam links people have to be aware and search about everyone of them if they find them interesting.
 also, even if you don't have anything at the time you signed the contract and you receive some tokens afterwards , it could also get sent right away to another address, and if you signed a contract like that before, you can check by entering your TRC-20 address on Tronscan.org and then scroll down and click on "list of approval" you'll find a list there if you approved any, and you can also cancel it by connecting to your wallet, you can't get your tokens back though, here is how it looks like on tronscan:

Well good thing is i don't use just about any link for swapping, see this is some of the associated problems with all this swapping platforms spread everywhere in this space, they are common this days that it is hard to separate real from fake, @op this will make you to be extra careful and very observant with all the many swapping platform available, scammers are relentless.

It's not just links that are fake. Sometimes you can receive a fake token in your wallet and once you try to swap it via an exchange. You will give the hacker some sort of privileges to drain your wallet.

The best solution is to completely avoid airdrops, shitcoins and shit exchanges or use a new fresh address for each token and each swap
