Impersonation website scams#
Scammers commonly build a website that pretends to be another website. This is known as website spoofing.
These fake sites are designed to trick you into approving a malicious contract. Approving one through a spoofed site can result in a total loss of your tokens and NFTs.
To protect yourself:
- Always confirm the URL matches the official site exactly before connecting your wallet.
- Be cautious of links shared on Discord, Telegram, or other social and messaging platforms.
- If you are unsure about a link, contact the support team of the site you intend to use through an official channel.
- If your wallet, internet provider, or browser warns that a site is suspicious, do not continue.
- Consider using a reputable transaction-screening browser extension that flags malicious sites and signatures.
