How do I identify fake crypto airdrops and avoid wallet drain?

Always verify the official source, contract, domain, and requested permissions. If anyone asks for a seed phrase or a suspicious signature, stop immediately. After a drain, revoke approvals, migrate to a clean wallet, and preserve all evidence.

Recommended steps

  • Secure accounts and wallets with new credentials and 2FA.
  • Collect the TXID, wallet addresses, amounts, timestamps, screenshots, and chat records.
  • Avoid upfront payments to anyone promising guaranteed recovery.
