TLDR: With the market moving upwards a lot of projects are gaining momentum and along with that scammers seem to be on the move as well. Token impersonations of popular and fast climbing projects are on the rise and we have seen a contract impersonating Pixels’s token and used social media apps to trick users into buying them from pancakeswap via the Binance WEB3 wallet. 

Fake Token(PIXEL): 0x51f0926caf52b68d0736fe7d8abc4afa2ef8e711

Our Advice: Its a Scam! Always do your own research and beware of unverified/unpublished contracts. This contract was created to steal all your funds.

How these scams usually work: 

  1. Popular platforms usually post information about projects with an upcoming presale/going live.

  2. Scammers view these posts and use social media apps to create fake support groups, impersonating the company and try to use fake websites/contract addresses to trick users. 

  3. Once you have connected to the site or decide to transfer to the contract, the scammers try to get you to place or approve increasingly large orders or ask you to send funds to an address post which they will send you tokens.

  4. Once the user has confirmed the transaction, the funds will never be seen again.

Always do your own research! If it looks too good to be true, it probably isn't!

Red Flags: 

  • Beware being added to any support groups promoting or offering you investment advice or fast profits!! 

  • Contracts you are asked to invest in like this are usually unverified/unpublished,to hide their functions. 

Case Of the Day: Exploiting FOMO

  1. Binance posted an article introducing Pixels (PIXEL) on the Binance Launchpool!.

  2. Scammers referenced the article and convinced users via a popular social media app, that there would be a token listing soon and that it should not be missed.

  3. The fake contract address was shared and users were convinced that the token needed to be bought asap to get huge profits.

  4. They were also instructed to purchase via Pancakeswap with a Binance Web3 wallet.

  5. This resulted in users losing their hard earned funds to a scammer.
