[Forever101]

Good day everyone, please I have some issues which I think posting to the local board will be cool to get help. Please what is the best way to verify that an nft is real. My sister saw nft in her wallet and was asked to claim it , after claiming another one showed up with trust wallet logo and a price of $1000, are this nft real or scam nft. I know of nft but have never own any nor done any transaction in NFT.

All depends on what she did to get the NFT in the wallet. If she participated in any contest or others to have it then she know that it hers but whereby she just see it in her wallet without performing anything to have it then it is a scam. Me I never use NFT before so I don't. Know how it work and worth. But I have only heard about it. And from the story you just shared, I don't think you are going to have that token instead you might be a victim of the token. If you know what you did before the arrival of the token then you don't have to worry but if not you just have to leave it because the end will not sweet you.

And if you want to know the legit NFT, there is a website for that but I have forgotten the site since I was not interested to participate in any of their token when it was trending. Check the clause I underlined in your post, only that indicates that, it is a scam. But let others also tok their experience on this matter.

If she knows nothing about it, then it is likely to be fake.

I do not know if this would be helpful: https://www.binance.com/en/blog/nft/nft-101-how-to-spot-a-fake-nft-collection-5357358770250965633

Checking contract address and the use of an NFT reverse image search should be helpful.

I do not know much about NFT either. Let us see other people's replies.

Opensea, Rarible, SuperRare and Axie Infinity Marketplace na some of di places wia you fit buy NFT. Just as Mate2237 talk if she no buy di NFT in any NFT marketplace make she just avoid am like plague. I don receive NFT like dat before and I no no wia e take come from, wen I click di transaction ID, come check the sender address, I com see say no be only me dem send am to but multiple addresses. I no move di NFT and I just leave am like that and it's should be more a year now.

E get techniques wey hackers dey take steal funds from people wallet, dem go send you fake token and if you wan try send am to anoda address or exchange, naso you go take compromise your wallet and dem go just steal all your funds. Hackers dey use similar technique with NFT. I don't know if her wallet has been compromised but if she has funds there, she should move it out to be on a safe side.

Scam her how, she been send money give any body in exchange for the NFT abi she don spend some money for the process of trying to exchange am ?
If she never do anything nah for u to just follow the advise way other's don give and you go also advice her make she no make mistake go connect her wallet to anywhere way them go claim say nah means for her to carry exchange the NFT to naira, because eh fit be ways to carry hijack her wallet without her knowing especially when she get small money for the wallet.

And with this very act now of waving away some usdt from her wallet, it's a clear sign that NFT she claimed was indeed a big scam, and a more reason for her to transfer any funds left to a different new wallet with empty fund until proven otherwise that you have eradicated all trace of hack of any kind.  Because from everything said, you still never mentioned which wallet did she used in claiming the NFT? Is it "Trust wallet", because I just came across one NFT currently been claim on Trust wallet, name "Base Airdrop"

If them send you any random spam NFT it then means it an attempted scam and one of the ways to dictate such a scam is when they ask you to pay a fee to claim the NFT,  and if your sister has made such payment it then means that there are high chances that she has been scammed,  and my advice is not to send any money to the said wallet.

This method of scamming was used during the ICO and other crypto hypes,  where random coins will be dropped into your wallet without your involvement with the network and in an attempt to claim the spam coins they will demand for a fee,  that few is where their scam lies.

So it is better you ask your sis closely to know what exactly is going on and check the site out,  we need to properly educate those around us so as not to fall into scammers' traps.

Hackers no fit get you if you no lose guard, na the thing be that. Them need you to open whatever they send to you before them go get access to you because that thing wey them send na various. The thing been dey happen as you talk with airdrop and airdrop self na shit stuff yet person go carry hand take pack aboki shit. The simple matter na to avoid scammers. As dem send the link now, if Op sister no beginning to open am then nothing for happen. Make we dey learn to avoid scammers by not even reading their message not to talk of clicking or replying..

I can't say for sure but I have been battling with an issue like this but my case was kinda different though mine was an airdrop I just followed on telegram and I haven't really done anything yet but I was flash a reward of supposedly 400$ saying that I need to pay at some fine for me to access the airdrop @sweatcoin and if it was same case with someone who isn't that much into crypto, they would have scammed the person but this your own case is quite peculiar as you said the Nft is already in the wallet although I don't know how Nft are been claimed but I think you have to sell and its picture like if am not mistaking.

This is exactly what is there, an attempt to claim it led to loses of some usdt.

Okay, if what is shown above is what she saw & tried minting and lost some funds in her wallet, then I guess her wallet might have been compromised by her attempt trying to claim this free nft, which from my research I'm made to understand that "Base nft" is a Layer 2 solution built by Coinbase (i.e one of crypto biggest exchange) on Ethereum using the OP stack in collaboration with Optimism, providing a foundation for Coinbase's 100 million users to enter DeFi.
For further details, check out link: https://www.coingecko.com/learn/base-nfts-potential-base-airdrop

However, I go talk say free things are not always good, and as such, if you get funds for your wallet, please avoid claiming any free things you see online, weather crypto or nft, so as to avoid later saying "heard-I-known" when your funds don disappear from your wallet.

[Davidvictorson]

E get some easy way to take sabi NFT wey be real and the one wey be fake. Check the Metadata. Na this own go tell you wether e dey authentic or not.
You fit also use blockchain explorers like like Etherscan or Solana explorer to take check too.

Another way na to  compare the seller's wallet address with the current address wey dem take store the NFT for the block chain.

Sorry for wetin happen to your sista so, she don fall enter scammers hand like that. You suppose know from today say nothing dey for free for cryptocurrency space. Na either you work for am or dem wan use an scam you to hack into your wallet and steal your funds. Dis na example of those hackers wey just dey after your coins, make you beware of them in the future since wetin don happen no fit reverse again for now. If you dey tempted too much to know if na real NFT as not everyone can there their eyes away wen dey see money, use those tools dey send you to confirm dem.

If you didn't perform any task before they gave you, it's just a scam.. That's simple
I will rather not beat around the Bush for you but I will just tell you the main truth.
