When you see something like this, RUN and Don't look back.

The official twitter channel of SPACE ID is @SpaceIDProtocol, the link in the picture above is fake, also why would I be qualified for something I don't even know or follow before? No task completed or whatsoever.

Never mind

I know where this is going, all those who couldn't tell the difference will join this raindrop with their BNB wallet address and this people will sent a fake SPACE ID token to your BNB wallet address.

You try selling the token, and that's when the once seemingly impossible thing will turn possible, all your tokens will be wiped out.

Be cautious out there, Twitter is boiling up with fake Arbitrum and SPACE ID giveaways right now.

The official twitter can be known by seeing the name of its twitter account but the thing that makes me doubt is there are thousands of people retweeting or even quoting it which makes me believe that there are a bunch of bots or at least stupid people in the twitter.
I wonder what elon did for sure. he said that he would be eliminated bots but it seems that many bots still exist.
It's an easy trap for lazy and greedy people but the real supporters who have been eligible for airdrop will never fall into the old scam technique like that. There are thousands of accounts being made by scammers to impersonate the real account.

This is such an old trick that is still being used by scammers.

With projects that are being hyped and getting the crowd, scammers will take time and won't let this opportunity pass to take their moments as well.
Those that are greedy will never notice the difference and think that this is a common thing that comes from the official team from any project that they're checking.
There will always be those fake airdrops, fake giveaways and don't let yourself bite into those fake tweets.

Might as well start with their official website and click the twitter logo hyperlink to directly go to their official Twitter instead of relying on newsfeed of your account. Chances that are many scammers will try to fake their main account with bunch of copy cats tweets and worse there is the scammer using verified twitter for particular time and engage with such bullshit. Of course that will let participants think that its legit.

I guess twitter should have restrict changing of names or content for a particular time to avoid leaping of these thieves from hype projects.

When you think an offer is too good to be true, it becomes a scam for you because no one offers something easily without wanting something else.

And usually, if it looks too good to be true, it turns out to be a scam. This has been happening for a long time but only the models have changed. We must remain careful with such offers.

SpaceID is ubiquitous now that airdrop season 2 is approaching. This has created an opportunity for fraudsters to deceive a large number of people by employing devilish methods such as the one you displayed here. It is our job to protect ourselves by carefully double-checking any airdrops news from legitimate sources, such as official outlets. Verify not just based one source, but all of their official social media accounts and organizations to ensure their credibility.

And because of that we need to re-confirm the real token address from CMC or their official website, to make sure whether it's really a genuine token or not, but usually now BSC gives a "Scam/Fake" sign to a potentially fake token. Right now there are lots of fake tokens that are sent via Airdrops or massive transactions, if we are not careful and exchange these fake tokens it is very likely that all the tokens in our wallet will disappear in an instant.

Many fake twitters project running out on twitter and this is very rampant on going scam in the twitter space. This is the reason why always check info from coinmarketcap to double check legit projects on their twitter channel. I never interact such kind of airdrops on twitter because I know it is very fake at all and only people always be victimized are those who are new to these kind of stuff.

If you have a Twitter account that follows a lot of projects, tokens, NFTs, etc. probably you already see a lot of posts like this and probably there are thousands of posts like this every day that you need to follow, retweet, etc. then also sometimes you need to put your address as well. Also, new hype projects are going to be the ones that they are going to imitate since that is where a lot of people are active.

There are also thousands of likes on posts like this making it suspicious enough and some people would think its legit because of thousands of likes and retweet, but probably it was made by bots or some kinds of auto like on twitter. Scammers could easily trick a lot of investors from hype projects so its a bad idea not checking this account before doing something. If they send suspicious token on your wallet just do not try to move it, their are cases where hackers have ways to hack your wallet using this kind of methods.

Assuming it's created by a scammer, how is possible they will scam? they only ask to retweet and drop our BNB public address (not the private address, so there's no way they ca regain access of our address. But we're still don't know what they will do next, we can find it after they've announce the distribution has been started.

I don't understand how you can lose coins when selling if you don't connect your wallet to unfamiliar sites. Using one of the decentralized exchanges, you will not be able to confirm the transaction on the network, as DEX will block it and your coins in the wallet will be safe.

But scammers are becoming more sophisticated on social media and especially in the crypto space where many people are still unaware of the risks with information.
I see ARB also having a similar situation, maybe social media advertising can work for scammers, but I think these people will pay the price for their behavior wrong deviation.
As for new entrants, always be wary of enticing advertisements.

Thanks for the heads-up, although I'm not into this kind of altcoins, but it's good that someone is giving the community about this kind of fraudulent acts which is very prevalent still at this point in crypto space.

@kaseygriffin - yeah, they are getting bolder with their attack on us, and crypto enthusiast most of the time can't really tell the difference between scams and real projects because this criminals knows how to copy everything. We just need to be very careful and vigilant with this kind of attacks.

But it only asks for the BNB address of the investor. How would these con-artists scam those who just dropped their BNB address there?
If they will redirect you to a fake link then that's the real scam, but anyways, on this one I don't see any intent of scamming at all, but the fact that they almost copied SPACE ID is already a red flag.

Overall, whenever you see airdrops like this, make sure that you double-check their official website or Twitter account so that you will not get scammed or whatever thing that they will do just to get your money. Be vigilant because scammers are everywhere. Just one wrong click of yours, and you might lose all of your money.

Apocollapse, what this scammer wants is your public bnb wallet address, nothing more, you can do yourself a favor and scan your wallet address for ETH or BNB using ether scan dot io, you will see some tokens you never knew you had, such tokens are from scammers, you only get in trouble if you try to sell those tokens. If you try to sell the tokens, you will be referred to a malicious dex and if you connect your wallet you have automatically reveal your recovery seed.

social media projects and the web for me are very important to research. Twitter account can be seen how the growth, progress of the project. but on the other hand, like a scammer project, they are only looking for someone who can share their tweets that do not lead to a concept for the project. and the team on the web doesn't match, it's just a download from google

This is nothing new, but as you can see the crypto market is always full of newcomers, and it is dangerous for someone to think that everything in their wallet has real value.
I've seen a lot of people complain about their personal wallets being hacked, and most of them are user errors when connecting to risky dapps. Perhaps this period sees profits from many new projects appear, but scammers are more active.

This is a common scamming trick, you can get away with this if you are using an empty wallet address for airdrops and free claiming of NFTs even if you are a newbie in this crypto space, only greedy people get scammed with this trick, Twitter is now a scammers dungeon as everything on the platform is easy to duplicate, and the team and devs don't bother dealing with such tricksters unless few people decide to report the account, shame.

Same thoughts, although they can now see the addresses of those users and maybe the true attack is about to begin. They can send malicious tokens to those addresses and once those users interact with the tokens, that's going to be the time that they will be hacked. For the airdrops or even in bounties, it is advisable to use a disposable wallet/address and send only the legit coins after, in your main wallet to avoid any issues.

Legit Twitter accounts usually has a blue check on them. If not, we can also based on the number of followers. Legit accounts usually have lots of followers (over 20 to 30k) and has a small number of following users.

I think that where this criminals enter, they target newbies, hoping that they are going to fall for this trick. And every social media now has a lot of scammer in their again taking advantage of the platform. So everyone should be aware of this kind of trick. There are a lot of ways for this criminals to look as if they are the real ones, and so we need to really be very careful. Even clicking a link from them is very dangerous.


And it's better to report this to twitter so that they will be taking down. On the other hand, there is only one trick being used to scam, they will have Twitter accounts, and you will see it as a official account with the blue badge and not to think that this is a scam. So again, we should open our eyes in the world that we are living because scammers are just around us.

Scamming have been the trending orders of the market with more victims are been apprehended by these fraudsters. Scam can not be eradicated from the space but it can be controlled only if we don't have greedy traders in the market that eager to make 100x of their capital within the range of 2-3 hours. The space doesn't work like that, it's very important to be enlightened on the signs of these fraudulent practices intruded by the fraudsters. NFTs duplication inother to defraud traders is common and it still amuse me when some people still fall for these trick.

Be careful now that many scammers create websites and many are trapped in situations like this, it would be nice to enter the official website and don't rush to fill out the form.
if you find a fake website, report it or make a trick so people don't get fooled by fake websites.

-    As far as I know, they do have airdrops to launch, I just don't know if it's over or if it's going to happen on the binance launchpad, if I'm not mistaken. If I am not too late I will participate in it.

Because I don't believe that it was just posted on twitter, because the twitter platform is like telegram which has become a nest of scammers and hackers, based on my observation.

Not just SpaceID and Arbitrum, the tweeter space has always been loaded with fake giveaways and truly people need to be careful with whatever they like out there. However, you can directly identify that the account isn't the tweeter account for SpaceID and that someone is trying to maybe do a genuine giveaway or just find a way to rip innocent people off.

Well, if you're not careful you might really believe this is the official account and announcement of Space ID due to the number of likes and retweet of the said post.

Though this is not something new, there are still investors who might fall into this trap.

So for everyone, always verify if the announcement is true because fake giveaways are common not just on Twitter but on other social media platforms as well.

The only reason why such scams still persist today is because people are still falling for it and the scammers are making money. People are easily swayed by freebies and will some times not do the appropriate check before submitting their details. Thanks for your post but I'm afraid it will have limited effect.

Thank you for bringing up this important issue. It is indeed crucial to be careful when entering personal information online and to verify the legitimacy of websites before submitting any sensitive information.
If you come across a fake website, you can report it to the relevant authorities or organizations. Most browsers and search engines have tools to report suspicious websites, and you can also report it to organizations like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).
In addition to reporting the website, you can also help prevent others from falling victim to the scam by sharing your experience and warning others about the fake website. You can post about it on social media, online forums, or review websites to alert others and raise awareness about the scam.
Finally, it's always a good idea to stay vigilant and keep an eye out for common red flags that may indicate a website is fake, such as misspellings or grammatical errors, suspicious URLs, and requests for personal information. By staying informed and cautious, you can help protect yourself and others from online scams.

thank you for the information, because this is very helpful and indeed scammers always take advantage of the opportunities that exist, therefore we have to be even more careful, especially since Space ID is currently hype, because Space ID was launched on Binance launchpad, so there are people who take advantage of this opportunity to steal our money by doing scam.

Subscribed to the official twitter of the project and there is not even a hint of an airdrop. Moreover, I have been participating in the company for a long time. You must warn your friends so they don't make a mistake.

You know it's not hard to spot scams in this space, but sometimes some users are still fooled by basic tricks like this. And this is not the most complicated trick that attackers attack on users. Sometimes we are very easy to fall into the trap of our own greed, basically to avoid these things just follow the official channels and do not pay attention to anything until there is an official announcement.

Scammers are doing their best effort to fool people, don't trust any link not unless it came from the official page and announcement.
I have my friend who recently got victim of this scheme unfortunately he was not able to recover any funds and lose the chance to have profit with $ARB. This is the result if you become greedy and can't wait for the process, remember in cryptospace there's a lot of greedy player who wants to take advantage of others so be careful always.

That's right, every time a new project appears that is predicted to be big there are definitely a lot of scammers around. Yesterday before ARB was launched I found many fake sites that were very similar to the original ARB site. and after that a lot of people who weren't careful and connect their wallets with that site, and what happened next was a lot of ARB tokens that were stolen.

I think if people are more careful, they will pay even better attention, because the link for their social media has actually been included, but for people who have just joined, maybe they will be tempted and try to follow it, I think a warning like this is good too.

Is there anything special about SPACEID because lately few of my crypot friends introduced me to this token.
They told me to hold BNB in my binance account to receive these tokens but I was reluctant.
Now people are even creating fake accounts of this project and scamming others?
What's all the buzz about ?

What exposes people to scams is the offers made by scammers to get their attention.
And when people are not aware that it is a scam, they instead deposit money with scammers assuming those people will get a refund within a certain time.
In anticipation of this, this has been reported on many websites, but it seems that this does not apply to people who still want to find a quick way to make money.
So that's what makes people get scammed by fraudsters even though the fraudsters only use old tricks that are often used.

This is most likely their tactics and they know how people will react blindly if they put those baits in their posts. thankfully there are also people who warned others about this matter to prevent themselves from becoming victims of these kinds of scams that are roaming the internet nowadays. But unfortunately, when you look at the address used by the scammers you will see that there are still some people that were falling victim to this scam and they don't know what's going on until they lose their money because those baits blinded them and their greed got them bad.

When your Twitter account has already followed airdrops accounts, you will often get notifications which if you're not careful will make you think it's true and follow every instructions from the giveaway, which will be a problem when there are instructions to connect the wallet or when you have to send such an amount for gas fees, then it can be ascertained as an attempt to cheat especially if via DM, but there are also just to make the followers of the account increase. Those who are pursuing airdrops are expected to be careful and study every form of fraud so as not to get trapped and lose assets.

Just by looking at the Twitter ID, we should already be aware that it is a hoax and most likely the retweets or quotes that are there have also been mostly regulated by bots to make it look convincing and add to the conditions where many people who still don't really understand this stuff get stuck.
Fraudulent tricks like this always happen when there is a project that is really being monitored, so we need to be really careful. Running is the right thing to do because going with the flow like this will only cost you later.

Still be careful in receiving airdrops especially if you haven't participated in any activities. There's some airdrop that once you clicked it, it would drain your wallet and your assets will be gone in just a second. Always double check the legitimately of the accounts and address. But based on the OP post with the given photo, it looks like a scam to me since having a huge amount of likes and retweets can be easily done by bots to make it look authentic. Most likely the common victim with this kind of scam is the beginners.It would be a good thing to have this kind of topic in the forum for people to be aware of what's scam and not. I'll share an experience where hackers and scammer made an actual fake website for minting NFT and a lot was scammed since they launched it the same time with the real project. They minted almost worth around $200 each. I conclude that there's a real airdrops and fake just double check to make sure.

Because of the recent Arbitrum token airdrops that have made many people wealthy, I am aware that fake airdrop tokens like these will occasionally appear on Twitter to deceive gullible followers. Due to the recent widespread belief that participating in an airdrop will make one wealthy, scammers will start to use Arbitrum tokens to construct fraudulent tokens that seem real in an effort to steal people's wallets.

It has already received thousands of retweets. In any case,I'm not shocked because many people aspire to succeed in the crypto industry. They don't want to pass up any opportunities that Twitter may present. If thats all it takes for them to become wealthy, they are willing to put their wallet at risk.

It's dangerous if you're unaware of these tweets that are not coming from official project's that are managing the airdrops. There have been too many victims fell for this sort of scam about a hype project and thinking that they're not yet late.

Fraud from these type of scenes are a lot and they're not regulated, even the platforms where they're posting, they can't be stopped.

When you're too obsessed with airdrops like on spaceID, you better be careful with all of those that will be shown to you through algorithm and recommendations.

Same question I want to ask, I did some research on this SpACEID project but I am not confused to invest in such project, NFT things is not really my haven, I still prefer buying Arbitrum or Hook Protocol over SPACEID, or other projects, the biggest loses I had in 2021 was from NFT projects.
