⚠️SafeMoon Polygon Pairing

🚨SafeMoon warns everyone of a fake Polygon and SafeMoon pairing going around.

❕We have not created any #SAFEMOON pairings with Polygon. We are letting you know as it appears a fake pairing is being shared around.

SafeMoon community member, Danny educated everyone on what to look for when deciphering if a pairing is legitimate.

"📢 #safemoonarmy there is no polygon $SFM token. Don't interact with it ⚠️ How could you [have known] this before @safemoon [made] their post ? 1. different supply 2. unknown wallet (contract only exists on polygon) 3. totally different contract (contract name: CoinToken)"

Hackers Used Deepfake (VIDEO CALLS) of Binance CCO to Perform Exchange Listing Scams

A set of hackers managed to impersonate Binance chief communications officer (CCO) Patrick Hillmann in a series of video calls with several representatives of cryptocurrency projects. The attackers used what Hillman described as an AI hologram, a deepfake of his image for this objective, and managed to fool some representatives of these projects, making them think Hillmann was helping them get listed on the exchange.

Deepfake is a verb and is a video of a person in which their face or body has been digitally altered so that they appear to be someone else, typically used maliciously or to spread false information. "the committee hearing on worldwide threats cited deepfakes as a growing concern"

💭Food For Thought

SafeMoon community member, seeking peace shared her thoughts on reaching goals. 🤍

"When I was a pre-teen I started wanting to go to Japan. I made it happen years later. Years later I wanted to travel. I made it happen months later. Then in 2014 wanted to move away. I am making it happen now. Don't let the time it take discourage you. Just because it has not happened yet doesn't mean it never will. Keep your eyes on the prize. Keep setting yourself attainable small steps towards what you want. Keep talking about it. Keep thinking about it. Keep dreaming about it. Time doesn't matter. Patience does. And it's okay to feel frustrated at the slow pace or to feel discouraged sometimes, have doubts etc. It's just normal human emotions. Stay stubborn with your goals. Stubbornness is a valuable quality when it comes to making them come true. Let no one make you deviate. NO ONE. I have regretted every single time I got distracted from my goals by people. And again, time doesn't matter when you want something really bad. The wait makes the victory so much sweeter. I know when I make it to my final goal I am going to cry my eyes out. And keep pushing for more."

🙏Thank you for sharing this, Peace.💗

Current Twitter Scams

This Twitter thread contains some very valuable information about all the ways scammers attempt to trick you on Twitter. A must-read to protect yourselves! A huge thank you to Twitter user Serpent for creating this thread. 👀

"🚨CURRENTLY RUNNING TWITTER SCAMS🚨

"In this thread I've compiled a list of the most popular currently running crypto/NFT scams on Twitter. Here's how they work 🧵👇

UNICODE LETTERS

Scammers have started spoofing URLs using lookalike unicode letters In this case, they are changing the letter "i" to a lookalike character from a non-English alphabet

The URLs respectively resolve to:

• xn--premnt-s9a[.]xyz

• xn--premnt-zva[.]xyz On the phishing website, you will be met with a replica site of @PREMINT_NFT When you click "Login To Register", depending on your total NFT collection value and your wallet balance, it will send either a Seaport signature which will drain your NFTs or attempt to drain your ETH.

FAKE REVOKE.CASH SCAM

In the attached pictures, we can see scammers pretending to be OpenSea (second screenshot is a hacked verified account) attempting to induce a state of urgency and play off of your fears to trick you into visiting a phishing website.

This scammer in particular botted the likes, retweets & replies to his tweets to make it look legit, then locked the tweet so no one else can reply. They also use bots to mass DM people on twitter linking them the tweet, or mass mention people on the tweets.

HONEYPOT ACCOUNT

I'm sure we've all gotten this DM, and I'm sure many of you are wondering, how would they be able to scam you from this? The wallet itself has the USDT in it, but it will not have the money for transaction fees to transfer the USDT out.

HACKED VERIFIED ACCOUNTS & FAKE MINT/AIRDROPS

Commonly using hacked verified accounts, scammers will usually launch fake airdrops/mints, however they can get pretty creative. They will just drain your wallet. Don't blindly trust the verification symbol, it means nothing. Always double check usernames.

In the first screenshot we can see a hacked verified account impersonating the CEO of OpenSea and posting a fake $SEA token airdrop. In the last screenshot, we can see a fake "BAYC animator" targeted at BAYC holders. View Screenshots.

FAKE P2E GAME/PROJECT

Either by individually targeting high-value NFT collectors, or making it widespread, scammers are impersonating/creating Play-To-Earn projects and releasing a "beta version" which is filled with malware. They are also offering payment for reviews.

After opening the files, we can see that the rar file contains real game libraries to make it look legit. The launcher, however, is infected and will steal your browser cookies and browser data (including extension data).

FAKE ART COMMISSIONS

This is an individualized attacked (predominantly targeting artists) commissioning fake work for an illegitimate company. Hidden in the files will be an extension spoofed Screen saver (.scr) file which is an executable file. The .scr file will scrape all of your cookies, passwords, extension data (including wallet data), etc. This sort of scam is also being used to target influencers, sending fake art previews, etc.

UNISWAP FRONTRUNNING SCAM

You may have seen this being spammed in the replies of random tweets, but how does it actually work? The link takes you to a video teaching you how to "make $1400/DAY front-running Uniswap" CRYPTO RECOVERY SCAM

I'm sure most of us have seen these bots in the reply of tweets containing certain keywords. Simply put, they attempt to target people who have already been scammed, and claim they can recover the funds. They claim to be blockchain developers and say they need a fee to deploy a smart contract that will recover the stolen funds, which is of course not possible. They take the fee and run."
