Beware of new airdrop scams

Recently, we received feedback from users who said they received airdropped tokens from exchanges (this scam can imitate any platform label). When users participated in the execution of the tokens, they found that there were some problems with the tokens, such as being able to buy but not sell. In response, the StarTower security department analyzed the on-chain information reported by users and found that this was a new type of scam that forged transaction records of transfers between any addresses by using browsers/wallets to parse transfer transaction records. This type of transaction record forgery can only target tokens issued by scammers. Mainstream token trading scammers cannot forge it.

Therefore, the most effective way to prevent such airdrop scams is to not believe in any airdrops from unknown sources. Exchanges will not take the initiative to airdrop to on-chain wallets. In the face of a complex environment, you must accumulate self-security knowledge, strengthen the study of anti-fraud knowledge, do not believe anyone who actively chats with you privately, do not use any recommended official websites or apps, do not open third-party links and authorize them at will, and keep private keys and mnemonics safely and do not lose or share them with anyone.
