[WARNING] Someone Sharing Fake Ripple Airdrop In This Forum

[BD Crypto]

What Happened:In this Forum Someone shared a Fake Public Ripple Airdrop which is purely a trap of being scammed. They are asking you to connect your wallet through WalletConnect or Metamask. To be noted there is no airdrop ongoing for ripple project and there is no possibility too as it has already launched many years before. So never fall into this kind of trap anyone. Always keep your accounts secured and never connect to a suspicious website. Their most target is airdrop hunters and they can easily fall into it if they aren't conscious or a beginner with a little knowledge.

I hope no will fall in to this trap or any kind of scam attempts like this one. Always verify official announcements before joining any Airdrops or always research by own if you find something suspicious. Because if your account is hacked you will be stolen. Thay will create another account to promote this types of phishing site so be aware from every attempts and make awareness.

Tagged but I think there are no point tagging a brand new account. He will create another account and post the fake links again. The only solution is to report the post to the moderator and get it deleted.

I do not know ripple to have proof of stake, why connecting a wallet? This scammer is a fool. If anyone fall for it, they are more like a fool as well.

Ripple airdrop will not require anyone to connect to wallet, it would just be claimed by your ripple's wallet private key and nothing more.

This web3 of a thing are another means to scam people.

All the OP's posts have been brought down. I Believe moderators took action real quick after a few members reported the post, and the account has also been . banned

The scammer will probably be preparing another account right now to come back and make another post with another strategy. Since Ripple won their case, there have been numerous fake airdrops all over, with scammers trying to use that trending news to their advantage. I'm just worried for those newbies who will fall victim to such scams because they are eager to make free money from the internet.

I left negative trust immediately after reading the OP and missed the part where the scammer has been banned. Can you imagine what it would feel like to have your crypto siphoned by scammers? I am glad the OP posted about this fake XRP airdrop because far too many people are falling for these types of scams. If new ones appear they cannot be from Ripple therefore stay away.

It has been more than one week since I posted in this thread therefore it is sad to see that the website is still operating. There has to be a responsibility on the shoulders of the domain registrar and web hosting company if they have been advised about the scam.

At the moment it seems that the RippleAirDrop account was been banned on 8th August 2023 at but the RippleAirDrops account that was also created on 8th August 2023 is yet to make a post and is therefore yet to be banned.

I filed an abuse complaint about the Nftcryptoc[.]com domain on Namecheap to notify them about this phishing domain and provide all the information. To be honest, Namecheap is a domain registrar company that deals strictly with abuses done by scammers who register domains to deceive and steal beginners.



The Legal & Abuse Department team has previously reviewed the complaints and reports that I submitted, and they have already taken down many phishing domains, so we must not stop submitting complaints and reports even if the scammer comes with a new account on the forum or a new domain.
