BNB chain scam threat

[Odogwu-Blockchain]

I forgot to have posted this last year when I received this message from an unknown user in my mailbox.

I strongly believed it's from a wrong source who are looking for victim to scam while I refused to follow up the process because it's of no value and would lead me to a trap I didn't set for myself, steal my credentials and stuffs like that.





Please, if you receive similar mail from this email address, don't delay to delete the message, they claim to be coming from BNB chain and I'm sure newbies will fall into this trap.

Code:

mailbox6697@gmail.com

I won't post the link to the site and the telegram handle of the admin behind the message before someone mistakenly click on it and join in.

Be careful guys and stare away from such messages if you receive it.

There are some few simple tips that I'm going to list out which will prevent you and other newbies from falling victim to such scam attack. First one, if you receive such mail and it's not coming from the official email address of the platform they represent, don't not pay attention to such mail because it is 99% scam, the second one is; if you receive such mail, go to the official website or official x (Twitter) page of that platform to confirm if they made announcement for such promotion or campaign that was sent to your email. Third and the last one;  don't open those phishing links directly on your default browser, that's if you want to take a look at the content of the link.

​It's so funny how they emphasize on the wallets twice,which means they actually have a way of gaining access to your wallet immediately you click the link.Basically it's easy to say clicking that link is more like giving them permission to your wallet.​Even at that I would have suggested you go to the official BNB website on X to confirm if thre is any new announcements but then it was recently hacked last year 2025 October ,1, so it's not 100% safe.in other words for me the best thing do when you get caught up in such situation is to avoid clicking the link...

​Moreover it's easy to say any link that you know nothing of do not click it. Because basically as crypto enthusiasts we might be aware that scams exist, but still there is no telling what new techniques they are planning on using next. That's just it....

There's no need checking on the link to verify anything if you have already gone through the first two steps you provided. Anyone who follows the steps you have listed out will already have enough proof that the stuff is a scam. Trying to open the link is already a waste of time as you will gain nothing from checking the link. You don't know what their plans are, don't even try opening the link. Moreover If you a using a good phone, the moment you receive an email that's scammy in nature your phone will move such mails to spam box and from there you should just delete it.

That’s a fake BNB account, BNB will send this message to your Binance app and you will receive the notification, it can also come as mail
But it will be from the Binance mail address that has always sent you messages.
Now what you should find out is how did they get you email address to send you this scam threat

Lol ..
Once you receive any random email starting with “ Congrats you have won…” “Congrats! You are part of..” they are scam, a dumb one to be precise but they know some people will still fall for it anyways.
Next time, don’t just delete it , report it as spam.. it contributes and will get filterd as spam for other when multiple people report it as spam.

I think the second one is actually a bit tricky because there have been cases where the scammers before perpetrating their scam they hack into the project social media accounts and take control of it and then put out flyers there too with their phishing links also, so imagine if you trust the information from the social media platforms you will still be falling prey to their scams. As for the third you have no business testing any link for something that doesn’t concerns you because a single click can actually infect the whole device.

The actually solution is stay total away from juicy offer like this and do not even bother checking their website because if it were to come from an exchange you will see it on the exchange and not only on been sent to your gmail.

Very old trick that will only catch newbies, newbies with simple know how is likely to be aware of the trick.

For the OP, did he participate in any giveaway or promotion? If he did, that means it was a scam giveaway or promotion and if he did not then it's obviously a scam move, no company will give out free money for nothing, I think the dumbest of all crypto users wouldn't fall for this pattern of scam.

To be frank, I didn't participate in any giveaway or bounties somewhere, i stopped doing bounties or airdrops long time ago and it's been long also that I received promotional mails.

The reasons why I quickly knew it was scam is because, "I get a mail from a source I didn't participate in" I don't usually trust something like this, I have to participate in activities while I receive the follow up mails, that's how things work."

This is also similar to many corporate companies in Nigeria, where a random MTN user will receive a call to have been gotten appointment to work in a company while the user do not submit any CV anywhere.

This is a phishing email. Anyone reading the emails of companies that deal with money or property should endeavor to slow down and approach it carefully, including any email whatsoever, they could harbor dangers.

No urgency to do this or do that, nor confirm this or that. The first step to take is to confirm the domain that sent it. Seeing Gmail or any other email hosts is a red flag, that's suspicious. The scammers may carefully add dash(-) to domains, use double letter, et cetera to confuse you. They may just use a different domain name.

Seeing any shortened formats like bit.ly and tinyurl is also a red flag. All attachments or links should be avoided and even the tone of the writer could expose them easily if you are sensitive.
