Avoid becoming the next victim

[Volimack]

Generally one should not wander to different web pages on the web. Because there is always criminal activity going on here. You can become a victim of someone at any time. A fake wallet scam tricks users into believing they are using a legitimate digital wallet to store their assets. Fake wallets ask users to enter their private keys information that should never be shared and then scammers use those private keys to steal users crypto holdings.

And strangely I don't feel like I participated in anything regarding NFT on the TON network but I see some NFTs in my TON wallet. I don't know if this is some kind of free airdrop? but for sure if you find something suspicious then you should avoid it.

in this case, I personally will ignore the NFT for the sake of wallet security. I try to avoid tokens, or NFTs that suddenly appear in our personal wallet, especially since the wallet has never been used for any event.

[Bushdark]

Thanks for the information and I just hope that many people would be this useful and stay very careful when they see something like this.
I have been seeing many adverts about claiming Not tokens about 60k NOT for doing no task. Anytime I see this, I just laughed because I know it's a scam. For those that might not be aware about this before now, we all have to stay away from such kind of advert because it is quite dangerous and could make us to lose all our funds with in a second.

[Churchillvv]

Perhaps I'm very pleased to see threads of this nature having the security of people in mind, because this days all I see are just shitcoins promotion threads and topics.

Well, personally I don't do free things because I believe they are more prone to dangers than what one buys with their own money. in the crypto space right especially with the success of Notcoin being launched a lot of newbies and non crypto person have joined the community having the belief that there will be another Notcoin that can turn them to millionaires as their influencers do advertise, so claiming free NFTs would seem like a big opportunity for them whereas the risk of having ones wallet being compromised is very high.

Apparently, I will add to this by advising people not to take part in whatever that seems too good to be true, don't expect to get a free NFT and in few months it turns out to make millions which is insane.

Clicking on links is high risky for your assets as some malwares, crypto spies can be embedded in this links and once clicked it begins it's job without ones notice. Everyone's security is in their hands.

Fake wallets ask users to enter their private keys information that should never be shared and then scammers use those private keys to steal users crypto holdings.

Sometimes you don’t even have to actually input anything for them to try and hack onto your system. Always be one step ahead of everyone.

Learn immediately how to differentiate a real website from a fishy suspicious one. Don’t be too lenient and always be on your toes: alert and vigilant. Sometimes clicking a link has a lot of malware which could infiltrate your devices and even track your activities.

Of course he has a right to know so he is surfing the web pages. But you have to be careful as fraudsters will constantly try to trap you. Everything from your wallet is at risk when you join a fake project and join your wallet there. Don't click on a link without knowing the details or because you are creating an opportunity for him by clicking there. Where scammers impersonate legitimate organizations to steal personal information, verify their authenticity before you provide them with any information.

I know that TON is one of the most talked about crypto project in this crypto space right now and this have also attcated a lot of bad actors too, now TON wallets are receiving many NFTs for free and some do look almost legit, enough to confuse a newbie that it is real, I am here to warm you guys to stay away from free NFTs.

If you don't pay for it, you shouldn't claim any ownership.

Its obvious that people want to earn something big without doing anything or by giving little contribution to earn a lot, this is the way of life many are so positioned to take and go for in cryptocurrency, i know this on set on TON network will spark on many scammers from introducing their own shitty coins or tokens and make offers as well for airdrops for people to claim, we have to be watchful on accepting free offers.

Free offers you say. Ever since there was a huge pay from the NOT coin were people were tapping their screens for that shitcoin, many people have come to believe that they can make some free bucks through any project that seems similar to NOT coin. Although i wont blame them much because they had seen evidence which has blinded their mindset not to even look out for possible scam again, anything that comes to their mind right now is totally legit.

Fake NFTs and Tokens can live in your wallet for years without comprising your crypto wallet until you deceid to touch them.

A lesson you should learn from this is do not claim ownership of something that's not yours, in this crypto space nothing is for free.


Follow this procedure.

1. DONT TOUCH
2. DONT CLAIM
3. DONT EVEN ATTEMPT 1 & 2 RULES ABOVE.

I think it's a good advice but its more of in a code words where a fresher or a newbie will not be able to understand that what type of warnings are being given in these details.

Even though I'm not clear what you exactly want to say so please if you can elaborate about the words so that we can be more aware of these scams. It will be very kind of you if you can add to this.

[trendcoin]

It is best for us to ignore untrusted tokens. Scam tokens contain links that can compromise all the assets in our wallet. Interacting with the links provided by these tokens can give scammers access to our wallet. TON has been very popular lately and is being shilled everywhere. Scammers may be aware of this active situation and may be targeting the TON network...

Some wallets allow us to create a blacklist. We can blacklist tokens that we think are suspicious. No matter how careful we are, they develop new methods every day and pose a danger to everyone. We have to be very careful against scammers...

[gurunanakji777]

My golden rule is that I never touch coins I haven't purchased. I know that if I try to connect my wallet to sell free coins, I will either get hacked or lose what I already have in my wallet. The simple logic is, how can we receive something for free that we haven't bought? Just ignore such offers to avoid becoming a victim of a scam.

         -   Even though I don't really understand what you want to convey to us here, mate, I am still somehow grateful for you reminding me of this. I don't like NFT either. So, I think it is unlikely that I will fall victim to what you are saying.

Second, I haven't used TON blockhain either, but I buy it somehow on the centralized exchange platform, not on the DEX platform. But I hope you can clarify a little more about what you are talking about here.

Most free NFTs are just scams as you said and if you allow them to access and provide the passphrase on your wallet then they will surely wipe out all of your available assets. And, that is why it is really to be good to be true getting free NFTs.

I would say that some of them are legit and provide NFTs but it is really hard to trust them.

[redsun114]

I don't know what people are looking after NFTS, many of the ones that were hype months back, where are they right now?

I never thought of NFTs as potentially profitable investments even when it was “trending” but now that almost no one is talking about it people are becoming more and more desperate to try and profit with their NFTs. But seriously, if you get scammed from NFTs that’s beyond unintelligent.

Same here but the crazy thing is, they are. And as usual, that made me leave a bit of regrets because another golden opportunity has once pass in my two hands, just like that.

It's the human nature trying things that are hardly existing anymore but I think some can still be successful with this approach, no wonder why others have attempted the same thing. I am not siding Telegram here but I think it's offensive calling them a scammers den or a scammers paradise. Just take a look at us, we are still benefiting on it because we use them for instant messaging and crypto transactions and we have no problems with these scammers because of our long-term experiences in this field.

Maybe you need to use evidence to show the problem so that your advice can be validated correctly with many examples maybe people will believe more, we know that hunters always want to get free airdrops just by carrying out the tasks assigned, and not a few also get a decent payment from free capital.

To anticipate this, don't use your main telegram account, you only need to use your telegram account alts to access like this, if there is a sale value on the NFT or token, we can get lucky but if not it won't be a problem and you don't lose anything if you only use your account alts.

[Bitstar_coin]

Isn't it the same thing that happen to most of the other blockchains? once a blockchain gain some hype the next thing bad project will shift their attention to the chain to exploit gullible users.
Lately the Ton blockchain has been making a lot of waves lately and we are seeing many different tap projects suddenly coming up in the chain, telegram users has grown so much in recent times. So i won't be surprise to see people getting scammed through all the many tap projects and free nft projects.
People really need to be very careful.

You are absolutely right and people who fall most in this kind of thing are newbie, because of what they have heard about crypto that people get rich overnight they believe that any slight opportunity is worth diving to not knowing what is involve and the reason why they dive into this stuff it's because people don't too talk about their bad experience in crypto rather they keep telling people and sharing update on how they have make money in crypto though some of those advert are legit but it's very hard to see those one that are legit.

Yes, of course. In order to maintain asset security, I always avoid tokens or NFTs that suddenly appear in our personal wallet. because I think this is a kind of fraud on the one hand, these NFTs also have high value but have no exchange, this seems ridiculous.

[Cadaver20]

Not only TON wallet but also on BSC wallet I receive different types of fake tokens. They do not swap without their specific website. And when we go to swap on their own website, the assets are transferred from our own wallet. So these fake tokens or NFTs can never be claimed or swapped.

[andyou1234]

It's true that those of us who are involved in the crypto world have to avoid things that are detrimental, this can be done by studying and analyzing the ins and outs of the coins we want to invest in, otherwise we will be trapped in momentary fame.

[Mate2237]

Op I am not disputing your fact but if someone is offering free NFT to boost his website or handle then it might legit  because he might like to do that to attract more customers to the site and all what I will say is that if something like exist and your want to know if they are legit then as your receive the token then you test it to know if the token sent to you is legit. And all what you have to do is to use new wallet to receive them. A wallet that you have not used to receive any coins or token. And once you receive it, test it at once.

Someone that is very good in the cryptocurrency will test the service to know things.
