Airdrop scam from dormant project
On November 29, 2022, there was an announcement of an air drop coin on Twitter which is not true at all. Scammers have pretended to give away SRM tokens, the crypto tokens of the DEX Serum platform built on Solana.
The post scammed to give away 20,000 SRM coins and users had to visit the airdrop link and save their wallet data. However, even though the project was built on Solana, the scammer asked for Ethereum wallet information instead.
Cybercriminals have been promoting campaigns as airdrops for users of the Ethereum Blockchain, a phishing site.
Even more shocking is that the developer Serum (SRM) has announced that the project has been discontinued and has stopped moving in all respects, explaining that it was caused by the Alameda crisis and FTX.
Serum, one of the first DEXs on the Solana (SOL) blockchain, has crashed after the crisis as exchange FTX and developer Alameda Research VC firm proposed launching a forked, community-driven blockchain. But still not sure how the project will continue or whether it has been forked or not.
The scammers are also taking advantage of this moment to pose as Serum DEX and retweet the original announcement about Serum DEX, trying to make their fake accounts look like regular ones, so investors need to be extra careful about any project they have. Coin Airdrop Announcement
