Trending NFT Scams
Here are some popular NFT deceits popular among swindlers:
Phishing Scams
Scammers send random text messages, DMs, or emails with phony links to potential victims. When victims click the link, they are directed to a fake website and asked to enter sensitive details like date of birth, address, social security number, and crypto wallet details. Scammers use this information for malicious purposes or sell it to other scammers. These activities may result in identity theft or hacking of your digital wallet, leading to losses of your NFT/Crypto investments. Stay wary of uninvited notifications, urging you to invest or share your personal information. Instead of clicking on any links, try directly connecting to the official platform and verify them before venturing with them.
Airdrops or Give Away Scams
Airdrop scammers are a regular on social media. These involve bogus profiles announcing NFT giveaways across distinct social networks. The interested online users are requested to participate in the giveaway by following up with some actions. It could be clicking on a link to sign up, sharing a post, or getting your investment doubled. On clicking any links, there lies a significant threat of a phishing scam. Likewise, promoting their giveaway would be as close as encouraging their scamful practices. The investors who share their NFT/crypto funds, become victims of fraudulent losses. Before participating in any giveaway programmes, make sure to verify their social media profile. If it shows a huge follower count with poor content & engagement then it's most likely a sham.
Fake NFT Projects
A recurring digital scam that duplicates original NFT projects. Here the scammers copy artistic works and fabricate NFTs. They further put these fake projects up for auctions, fooling investors for the original ones. Clueless investors believe that they’ve gotten their hands on digital artistry, while it turns out to be a worthless investment. These dishonest sellers tamper and showcase phoney creator profiles, website, contact address, sales volume, and pricing. They may even go to the extent of manipulating the images that’d show up on performing a reverse NFT search. A common indicator to this scam type is lack of blockchain knowledge and unprofessional sites.
Counterfeit NFTs
Although NFT assists in authenticating a virtual product, they are prone to counterfeiting, money laundering, or fraud. Similar to duplicated cryptocurrencies, NFTs are mimicked by fraudulent parties. Such a malpractice, exposes new investors and art enthusiasts to risks and losses that they may not be prepared to encounter. By creating lookalikes of popular NFTs, they outsell their scam. Unfortunately, it’s the victims that are left with scrap value for NFT, and the scammers that make all the big bucks. We highly recommend checking out the blockchain verification of an NFT. This could help determine whether it’s a genuine or fabricated one.
