If you've ever opened your Rabby Wallet or MetaMask and suddenly discovered a new token or wallet containing what looks like free crypto or valuable tokens like ETH or a strange coin (e.g. EDGEN, USDx, etc.) — stop right there.

It might look like free money, but in most cases, it's a well-crafted scam.

🧠 How the Scam Works

This is a common crypto scam known as a “fake airdrop honeypot”, and here's how it works:

A random wallet or token shows up in your wallet.

The token looks valuable — $75, $500, or more.

You try to swap or transfer it.

The contract asks for a transaction signature (approve, claim, etc.).

Once you approve, it drains ETH or other real assets from your wallet.

🎯 What’s the Real Goal?

Scammers want you to interact with a malicious smart contract. Once you do, they can:

Steal ETH or tokens from your wallet.

Gain approval to spend unlimited tokens.

Track your actions for phishing later.

This is not random — they’re targeting wallets hoping someone will try to "claim" or "transfer" these tokens.

🌟Golden Rules to Protect Yourself

Never import private keys into unknown or suspicious platforms.

Never approve transactions unless you 100% trust the source.

Ignore any token you didn’t request — even if it shows a dollar value.

Use wallets like Rabby or MetaMask only with verified dApps.

Use read-only or cold wallets for storage — never interact from your main wallet.

✅ Final Thoughts:

If it seems too good to be true — it is.

Tokens that randomly appear in your wallet are not airdrops. They’re usually traps built to steal from you. The scammers are counting on your curiosity.
