Recently, Sei Mainnet was launched and which is base on Blockchain project. Their testnet had end few days ago and they had launch an airdrop for early users. Just a few min ago, claiming link was live. As we all know whenever an airdrop happens there are lot of scammers who create various scam and phishing sites to steal funds by hacking wallets. To avoid such scammers and always get the claiming link from the official account of the project and also recently a verified account sharing Pishing sites.

Following the official sites or trusted media outlets that redirect to the official sites is the solution.

Scammers take use of every channel available, and this Twitter scam seems more ideal because they can quickly win people over by spending a little money.

The concept that the blue badge can be purchased bothers me alot, Musk's concept of supporting free speech on his platform turned out to be successful, and the priority was people who subscribed to thee badge.Title: Re: [WARNING] Scammers create Pishing site to claim SEI Airdrop 🚨 Post by: coin-investor on August 19, 2023, 10:13:58 AM Account has been suspended, it seems that twitterX support cares a little more about scams now. I think it is because of the many reports they've received but we know TwitterX, like Facebook they are not going to take action if there are no mass reports, sometimes their action is late because the scammers have already scammed a lot of users, people should moderate their greed and do their research first, a profitable airdrop is very rare and scammers think that they can many newbies because of SEI's popularity. If a popular platform is going to launch an airdrop it should come first from its official homepage and then on its social media accounts, if it's not on its homepage don't just believe.

It's not about scammers thinking; it's about scammers using newbies greed against them. After some of the popular airdrops that give free luck to thousands of people, airdrops like that of Uniswap and Arbitrary that just happened recently, newbies have been wanting to explore any opportunities that they see about trending projects and airdrops. It's only a few people that usually do some kind of research about a particular project to determine if they are truly doing airdrops or not, or if the link they get from some sort of random social media user is legit or not. They are always in a hurry to participate in order for the slot to not be filled before their entry. If people can learn how to DYOR, the rate of people falling into scam traps will reduce, and the scammers might as well reduce the resources they spend on tools as it will turn out not to be profitable to them.

It is good that Sunil Agarwal's account has been restricted. This phishing domain, which is seven days old, also has been down, and this is the result of reports and complaints submitted by positive people to protect as many newbies as possible who still do not know the difference between a phishing domain and a legitimate one. Indeed, there was an airdrop for the SEI project. Of course, scammers took the opportunity to disinform SEI communities, mislead and deceive them, especially Twitter, through accounts impersonating the SEI name, and by DMing people who ask for help on how to claim airdrop coins, they send them malicious links and phishing domains, They also publish tweets continuously and mention many Twitter user accounts to trap them. Unfortunately, Twitter is now free of censorship and is full of bots, spam, and chaos. Title: Re: [WARNING] Scammers create Pishing site to claim SEI Airdrop 🚨 Post by: tabas on August 21, 2023, 11:56:23 PM Unfortunately, Twitter is now free of censorship and is full of bots, spam, and chaos. It's going to make things worst and that's why everyone needs to be more careful when they're focused on the airdrops there. Good thing that account was already flagged down but we don't know if another account will emerge and will try to verify itself and will make another looking legitimate airdrop from SEI or any other project that has taken the spotlight lately because of how successful their launching was. Having these criteria for having a blue checkmark makes it easier for these scammers to stay on this platform, X/Twitter. :-\Eligibility criteria for the blue checkmark Only accounts actively subscribed to X Premium are eligible to receive the blue checkmark. Our team uses an eligibility criteria on when the checkmark is given to ensure we maintain the integrity of the platform. Your account must meet the following criteria to receive or retain the blue checkmark: Complete: Your account must have a display name and profile photo Active use: Your account must be active in the past 30 days to subscribe to X Premium Security: Your account must have a confirmed phone number Non-Deceptive: Your account must have no recent changes to your profile photo, display name, or username (@handle) Your account must have no signs of being misleading or deceptive Your account must have no signs of engaging in platform manipulation and spam As we look at the bottom part of non-deceptive. I wonder if they really are filtering all of these subscribed to their premium/blue checkmark. Because it looks easy for them to get verified and this is giving the idea for other scammers that they can do that and imitate and fool people with the use of other known projects.

Title: Re: [WARNING] Scammers create Pishing site to claim SEI Airdrop 🚨 Post by: blckhawk on August 22, 2023, 02:08:49 PM At this point, everyone should know by now especially those that have been in the crypto space for a long time that they should be careful of airdrops from new tokens introduced especially if you've known about that airdrop on X/Twitter, most likely it's going to be a scam to steal your money and preying on your gullibility and greediness. Nice catch OP.
People should be wiser by now, it's almost the same pattern these scammers are using. @ScamVirus also posted a warning on SEI airdrop 2 weeks ago but a different scam site (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5462041.0). The problem with these is that people are still falling for this because everyday there's new people being introduced to crypto and we all know about newbies that don't have guidance, they'll likely fall victim to scams as most scammers are good at sweet talking newbies and newbies are looking for guides to help them and anything that comes to them, they'll likely welcome it not knowing if it's a scam or not.Following the official sites or trusted media outlets that redirect to the official sites is the solution.

If we search on Google we can see a lot of results with the name of sei airdrop. And if anyone are not aware about the original site then there is a high chance to be scammed. Though all the sites are not scammed many sites can be used for link building and so on.
