⚠️ Beware of Web3 Wallet Scam Traps



Recently, a large number of phishing websites impersonating exchanges have appeared, tricking users into signing under the guise of airdrops. How does this work?

Scammers set up a page almost identical to the legitimate platform, falsely claiming there is a "Web3 Wallet Limited-Time Airdrop" opportunity. When users click the link, they see a familiar interface design, greatly reducing their vigilance.

"Congratulations, you have won! Receive free BNB! Just connect your wallet and click to sign for verification, no Gas fee required."—such statements are the easiest to deceive people.

But the key issue is: **At the moment you click sign, you are actually authorizing this website to access your wallet permissions or transfer assets**. Scammers use blind signing (users sign without clearly reading the instructions), easily draining your wallet.

Precaution tips:
✓ Official airdrops never require signature verification
✓ Always access through the official website, do not click on unfamiliar links
✓ Carefully review the contract content before signing (though difficult for technical novices)
✓ Use hardware wallets for important operations instead of Web3 wallets

In the Web3 world, every signature could be a trap. Caution is safety.

It's the same old trick, I'm tired of it. Giving away a white signature is like handing your wallet keys to a scammer, there's no difference.

Same old trick, free BNB? Seen it a thousand times before. People fall for it every time, how can they never learn?

It's that blind signing routine again. My friend was exploited like that, losing thousands of dollars before realizing it.

It's the same old blind signing trick again, with someone falling for it every week... You really need to develop the habit of pausing for three seconds before signing.

Another wave of phishing. These people are really something else. I stopped believing in airdrops a long time ago.

Another one? It's the same routine every day, and I wonder how there are still people jumping in.
