Peace be upon you
Recently, I heard a true story that happened to one of my friends in the community. He was following an airdrop announcement for a new project (similar to Moonbirds or FOGO that just came out), the announcement came to him in a DM on Twitter/X from an account that looked exactly like the official account: picture, bio, even the blue tick! They told him: 'Congratulations! You are eligible for a $500 airdrop from $BIRB, click here to talk.'
He entered the link, connected his wallet (MetaMask), and within seconds received a notification: 'Transaction confirmed'. But after a few minutes, he found his wallet empty! The scammer used a drainer contract (a contract that automatically steals assets). He lost about 2 ETH + some tokens he was holding (approximately $2000+). What happened is not new, but in 2026 scams became smarter: fake accounts using AI to look real.
Links that look like the official ones (claimairdrop-reflection.xyz for example).
Even fake audits and cloned wallets.
My advice that I learned from this story: never respond to any airdrop from DM – go to the official website yourself (through binance.com or coingecko).
Use a separate wallet (burner wallet) for any new connection.
Check the contract address before approving.
If you suspect, ask in the community or on Binance Square before doing anything.
Thank God he managed to recover a small part through a report, but the lesson is costly.
