I Almost Lost $20 to a Fake Airdrop — KNOW! What I Learned.

I Almost Lost $20 to a Fake Airdrop —  KNOW! What I Learned.

Last week someone sent me a link: "Claim free $200 USDT airdrop now!"

 

I almost clicked. Then I laughed.

 

Here is what I learned to check:

1. Real airdrops will never ask for your seed phrase. I meant Never. If they ask for your 12 words, flee away. 

 

2. Check the website name well. Scammers use binance-airdrop-claim.com instead of binance.com. observe!

 

3. Do not connect your wallet to any random site. Once you connect, they can drain you. 

I did not lose money that way, but I learned my lesson. In crypto, you have to be slow to click.
