I almost lost everything — don’t make the same mistake.
Last month, I opened my wallet expecting a $USDT payment…
Instead, I saw THIS:
⚠️ “Pay a 20% activation fee to unlock your funds.”
The balance was visible. The message looked legit.
But here’s the truth: IT WAS 100% FAKE. 😨
🤯 THE SCAM?
I was unknowingly connected to a fraudulent custom RPC node — created to show fake funds and bait users into sending real money to “unlock” them.
🚫 Don’t Fall for It — Here’s How to STAY SAFE:
1️⃣ NEVER use custom nodes from random sources
→ If someone DMs you saying “just add this RPC”, BLOCK them.
2️⃣ Double-check balances on BscScan / Etherscan
→ If funds show in your wallet but NOT on-chain —
💥 You’re being scammed.
3️⃣ “Activation fees” = 🚩BIG SCAM
→ Real crypto wallets don’t charge fees to show your funds.
🛡️ My New Safety Stack:
✅ Only default RPCs (MetaMask, TokenPocket, TrustWallet)
✅ Verify everything on-chain
✅ Never ever pay to “unlock” anything
📢 Scammers are evolving.
They’re not just phishing — they’re building fake universes inside your wallet.
💡 Don’t be the next victim.
