#CertiKSkynetAlert 🚨

Scammers will always try to take advantage of hype.

We have seen multiple phishing attempts mimicking the Arbitrum airdrop.

Here are some of the signs to look out for so you don’t lose your assets 🧵👇

1/ Scammers will often use Twitter bots to tag users in tweets pointing them to a fake Twitter profile displaying a drainer.

Many wallet drainers have a similar layout 👇

We have recorded 6 of these drainers in March alone, although it’s likely that there are more.

2/ These drainers will trick users into approving malicious transactions

3/ Scammers also employ more classic phishing techniques where they trick victims into sending assets with value in exchange for a fake ARB token.

Below is an example 👇

We have discovered over 10 fake ARB tokens deployed since 16 March 23.

4/ It’s possible we’ll see an increase in these types of scams once the airdrop goes live.

If you’re interacting with the airdrop, be extra vigilant!

5/ So how do you protect yourself from these scams?

Don’t click any links sent to you, and always verify official accounts through multiple sources.

Go to their verified accounts, or check links from reputable sources like CoinMarketCap or similar

6/Always be sure to verify Twitter handles and URLs through official sources.

Here’s the links for Arbitrum:
