#空投防骗手册 New Types of Scams

• Meme Coin Traps: By 2025, 70% of scams will be focused on the Meme Coin sector, where scammers promote fake airdrops by impersonating KOL accounts (such as pretending to be well-known analysts on platform X), promising 'hundredfold returns'.

• Telegram Malware: Fake bots (like OfficiaISafeguardBot) lure users into installing malicious software that steals wallet private keys.

• Supply Chain Attacks: The Triada virus discovered in Russia is pre-installed on counterfeit Android phones, stealing cryptocurrency and social accounts.

2. Typical Scam Techniques

• Fake Website Phishing: Scam websites often use domain names similar to well-known projects (for example, changing "etherscan" to "etherscan.io-verify"), asking users to input private keys or seed phrases.

• Fake Liquidity Mining: Claims that mainstream coins need to be staked to participate in airdrops, which are actually Ponzi schemes (like the GBC platform that scammed 629 million yuan through a pyramid scheme).

• Forged Exchange Announcements: Posting forged Binance and OKX announcements on Twitter to lure users into clicking phishing links.

II. 7 Steps to Quickly Identify the Authenticity of Airdrops

1. Verify through Official Channels

• Website Check: Visit the project's official website (like "projectname.com"), compare the spelling of the domain, and check the SSL certificate (the padlock symbol in the address bar).

• Social Certification: Check on Twitter and Telegram to see if the account has a blue verification mark; official accounts usually indicate the project link in their bio.
