Scam emails like this come in many forms. Examples are:

A) You need to 'verify your wallet or your account will be closed'. This is not true and we have no way of doing this. The links provided will ask you to connect your wallet to a scam website which will steal your funds, or ask you for your 'secret phrase'.

B) Trust Wallet are doing airdrops/giveaways via email. This is not true. The links provided here will ask you to connect to a scam website which will steal your funds.

We do host giveaways for our users, but ONLY on our official social channels.

C) Fake Trust Wallet support. This is the same tactic as the comments on social platforms mentioned above.

Best course of action: Delete these messages and block the sender.

Image 3 - Scam Airdrops on X.

Although some projects do run airdrops, scammers use this to their advantage and create fake versions for users to interact with.

These airdrops pictured are not real and the website links are not for legitimate projects.

However, these posts regularly appear in different forms, trending at the top of new feeds on X (previously Twitter).

Often created by bots, they use a large number of trending hashtags & cashtags (# & $) to appear in the regularly search for topics on the platform. Things like 'Airdrop, BNB, Arbitrum, Doge, Bitcoin' etc.

They then use fake bot profiles to artificially inflate the post's engagement through 'likes' and 'comments', making them appear in the top of your feed.

What you may notice is that they have hundreds of comments, but you cannot comment yourself. This is because they turn off comments except for the profiles they follow (the bot profiles), so people cannot call out the scam.

They often use high-profile NFTs as profile pictures such as BAYC, Azuki, Doodles etc, or use .eth or _eth in their profile names eg; 'b0reddape.eth' to seem more credible. They will often post the same scam post, multiple times to flood the feed.
