Scammers don’t start by asking for money — they start by building trust.
In the Telegram group Crypto Brilliant, accounts:
@trtd_brilliant
@charlescryptt
@damianfutures
acted like experienced traders, participated in discussions, and created credibility before introducing an “exclusive unlisted NFT opportunity.”
This is a common manipulation strategy:
✔️ Social proof inside groups
✔️ Friendly conversations
✔️ Urgency (“limited opportunity”)
✔️ Private deals outside marketplaces
The goal is simple: make the victim feel safe enough to skip verification.
💸 Result in my case: money lost.
Lesson: Trust should never replace verification in crypto.

We need to talk about a nasty scam hitting @Uniswap Protocol users — and it’s already left some serious damage behind. 🦄
Just recently, Uniswap’s founder Hayden Adams had to issue an urgent warning after a trader lost a six-figure portfolio to this exact trap. Yeah… hundreds of thousands of dollars, gone. If it can happen to experienced users, it can happen to anyone.

So What’s Actually Going On?
The “Fake Ads” Wallet Drainer Scam 🕵️‍♂️

👉 Important: this is not a hack of Uniswap’s core protocol. The tech itself is fine.
This is social engineering — and it’s disturbingly clever.
Here’s how it works:
1️⃣ The Ad Trap
Scammers literally buy sponsored ads on platforms like Google and Bing.
You search “Uniswap” or “Uniswap Wallet” — and their fake site shows up right at the top. Above the real one.
2️⃣ The Sneaky URL
You click what looks legit… but it’s something like:
unlswap.org (that’s an “L,” not an “I”)uniswap-app.net
One tiny letter. That’s all it takes.

Some even are so lazy they don't even bother changing the name , so you are on a site called " check views" instead on Uniswap, if you are also too lazy to check , this can cost you a lot !

3️⃣ The Perfect Clone
The fake site looks identical to the real thing. Same interface. Same layout. Same buttons. Nothing feels off.

4️⃣ The Wallet Drain 💸
Here’s where it turns ugly.
When you hit “Connect Wallet,” you’re not just signing in. You’re unknowingly approving a malicious smart contract that gives the attacker unlimited permission to spend your tokens.
One signature.
Seconds later — empty wallet.
Some attackers are even masking the malicious request inside legitimate contract interactions to make it harder to detect in your wallet’s confirmation window. It’s genuinely devious.

How Much Damage?
We know of at least one case in February 2026 where a victim lost a mid-six-figure portfolio. And that’s just one confirmed example.
This isn’t small change.

How To Protect Yourself 🛡️
This is preventable — but only if you slow down.
🚫 Ignore Sponsored Results
Scroll past ads. Every time.
🔖 Bookmark the Official Site
Once you’re on the real site, bookmark it and only use that bookmark going forward.
👀 Read Wallet Pop-Ups Carefully
When MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, or any wallet asks you to approve something — read it.
Watch for phrases like:
“Set Approval For All”“Unlimited Allowance”
A simple token swap does NOT need full control of your wallet.
🔎 Double-Check the Domain
Every. Single. Time.
If one letter looks off — close the tab immediately.

Already Connected to a Fake Site?
If you signed something but haven’t lost funds yet, act fast.
Use tools like Revoke.cash or check the approvals section on Etherscan to revoke any suspicious permissions.
Don’t wait. The approval is the real danger.

🦄 Again, Uniswap has nothing to do with this .
It's happening to lot exchanges. It's an malicious AD that takes you to a different site.
🛡️ Be smart. protect your self !

Don't Trust "Airdrops" that fall from the sky. that is NOT how Airdrops work !

Always check the official sites for confirmation !

When you bind your wallet to ANY site you mayby are giving him promissions you never wanted to give.

Users greed is what they count on, so
"fast! claim this airdrop or it dissapeared forever "
Is a typical RED Alert !

That is SCAM coming your way and it can make a chaos in your wallet and in your device too.

NoOne is giving away FREE MONEY! Have that in MIND Everytime you see ads like this ! 💸
My favorite Safety tip :

"If you have to ASK is this a scam ? " Then it surely IS.

Crypto doesn’t forgive carelessness.
But a little paranoia? That might save your entire portfolio. ✨

Multisig wallets are especially useful for people working in teams or those who want an extra layer of security. But here’s the catch: scammers can also use multisig wallets to trick users and steal their cryptocurrencies. Let’s take a closer look at how multisig wallets work and some of the most common multisig scams.
What Is a Multisig Wallet?
In the cryptocurrency world, a multisig (multi-signature) wallet is a type of wallet that requires more than one private key to authorize a transaction. They are like the digital equivalent of two-factor authentication (2FA), requiring two or more approvals (signatures) before a transaction can happen.
You can set up a multisig wallet with different requirements, such as needing two out of three keys or three out of five, and so on. It’s like having multiple keys to a vault, where no one person can unlock it without the others.
Multisig wallets are commonly used in business collaborations, DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations), and joint ventures. They can also be useful for family funds or anyone who wants a bit of added security for their digital assets.
Multisig wallets are often used to increase security, so how exactly are these wallets being used to scam people?
What Is a Multisig Scam?
The logic behind the scam is quite simple: scammers make victims believe they have full access to a crypto wallet when, in reality, they don’t. Below is an example of a scammer comment on a YouTube video:

You might come across many variations of this scam on YouTube, Twitter, Telegram, and other social media platforms, but their message will always include a private key or a seed phrase. If it’s your first time seeing it, you might be tricked into thinking it’s a new user asking for help, but don’t get fooled.
How Does a Multisig Scam Work?
There are different types of multisig scams, and they are particularly common on the Tron network due to the way Tron multisig wallets work. 
Some of the more elaborate multisig scams focus on tricking users into making their wallets multisig and adding the scammer as a co-owner. Once the scammers gain this level of control, they can effectively trap the funds or, in some cases, steal them directly.
These scams are usually related to phishing or impersonation fraud, where scammers pretend to be from a reliable customer support team. 
However, one of the most common multisig scams is much simpler and doesn’t require users to share their seed phrase or private keys. Instead, it’s designed to trick users into sending crypto to the scammer in an attempt to get funds from their multisig wallet. Let’s go through a common example.
Multisig scam bait using SafePal
To illustrate how the scam works, we will use the seed phrase shared in the YouTube comment we discussed above. First, we installed the SafePal wallet extension and imported the scammer’s wallet using the seed phrase provided.
With the wallet open, we can see that the scammer has 2,022 USDT as a TRC-20 token in the Tron network. At this point, most victims will try to transfer the USDT out of the scammer’s wallet.

However, the wallet doesn’t have enough TRX to pay for transaction fees. This is where the victim is tricked into sending TRX to the scammer’s wallet.
The scammer preys on greedy victims who rush to open the wallet in an attempt to take the funds. They quickly send crypto to the wallet to pay for fees but soon realize they can’t make any transactions because it’s a multisig wallet.
Remember, these wallets require multiple private keys (signatures) to approve a transfer. So, even if you have one of the keys, you won’t be able to sign transactions.
The good news is that if you fall victim to such a scam, you are probably losing a relatively small amount of crypto (whatever value you sent to pay for gas fees). However, the more sophisticated multisig scams we mentioned earlier can target your crypto wallet directly, potentially leading to much bigger losses.
Checking the scammer’s wallet address
If we search for the scammer’s wallet address (ending in Kk78Z) on the TronScan blockchain explorer, we will notice that the account is controlled by another address (ending in bHCoc). This is what a multisig wallet looks like on the Tron network.

Tron multisig wallets can be set up in many different ways. The wallet’s permission can be customized according to the weight given to each multisig account. 
In the example above, the scammer’s account (ending in bHCoc) has full access to the multisig wallet (“Owner Permission”), while the account used to bait victims (ending in Kk78Z) has only limited functionality.
How to Avoid Multisig Scams
To avoid multisig scams and other types of fraud, you should keep your personal information private, avoid using stranger’s seed phrases or private keys, and watch out for phishing emails and websites.
1. Keep your private keys and seed phrases private
No legitimate company, wallet provider, or crypto exchange will ever ask for your private keys or seed phrases. Keep them in a secure location and never share them with anyone.
2. Stick to official wallet apps and software
Only use wallet software and apps that come from trusted, official sources. There are many fake crypto wallets and exchanges, so double-check the URL and verify app authenticity before using them.
3. Regularly audit your wallet permissions
A good habit for multisig users is to check who has access to your wallet on a regular basis. Most wallets will let you review permissions in the settings. If you spot any unauthorized signatories, remove them immediately. You should also remove permissions of DeFi apps you no longer use.
4. Use hardware wallets for added security
Hardware wallets are physical devices that store your crypto offline. Even if someone compromises your multisig setup, they won’t be able to move funds without the hardware wallet's physical confirmation.
5. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA)
Most wallet providers and exchanges offer 2FA. Enabling it can add an extra layer of security, preventing unauthorized access to your wallet.
6. Stay informed
Cryptocurrency security is an ever-evolving field. New scams and tactics appear regularly, so it’s important to stay informed and keep learning about the latest threats and best security practices.
7. Wallet warnings
Unfortunately, it’s not always easy to tell if a wallet is multisig or not. However, due to the growing number of scams, some wallet providers have added security features that warn users about potentially dangerous wallets. 
Below are examples from SafePal and Trust Wallet, warning users that funds are blocked.

The rise of peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms like PayPal, Venmo, CashApp, Binance P2P, and Zelle has made sending and receiving money easier than ever. But with convenience comes risk — scammers are everywhere, waiting to trick unsuspecting users. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just sending money to a friend, knowing how to spot and avoid scams can save you from losing your hard-earned money.

1. Understand How P2P Scams Work

Before you can avoid scams, you need to know the tricks scammers use. Some common types include:

Fake Payment Proofs – Scammers send fake screenshots showing they “paid” you.

Overpayment Scams – They “accidentally” send you extra money and ask for a refund before their original payment bounces.

Phishing Links – Messages with links that steal your login details.

Chargeback Fraud – The scammer sends payment, you deliver the product, and they dispute the transaction to get their money back.

Impersonation – Pretending to be a company representative, friend, or buyer to earn your trust.

2. Verify Every Transaction

Never trust a screenshot or a text confirmation. Instead:

Always check your P2P platform account balance directly.

Look for official confirmation emails from the platform.

Wait for transactions to be marked as “completed” before delivering goods or services.

3. Only Deal with Verified Users

A verified profile doesn’t guarantee 100% safety, but it adds a layer of trust.

Check for verified badges or positive trade history.

Avoid dealing with new accounts or people with no transaction history.

When selling, consider using platforms with escrow services for extra protection.

4. Never Share Sensitive Information

Scammers will often pressure you to share personal data. Don’t fall for it.

Never share passwords, PINs, or 2FA codes.

Avoid logging in through links sent via messages or emails.

Use two-factor authentication (2FA) for every platform you use.

5. Look for Red Flags

Watch for these warning signs:

They insist you rush the transaction.

Offers that seem too good to be true.

Bad grammar or suspicious communication.

They refuse to talk on official channels or want to move the deal off-platform.

6. Use Escrow Services

Platforms like Binance P2P or Paxful offer escrow protection, holding funds until both parties confirm the transaction. This reduces the chance of fraud and is especially important for high-value trades.

7. Keep Records of Every Transaction

If something goes wrong, proof is your best friend.

Take screenshots of chats, payment proofs, and transaction IDs.

Save email confirmations and timestamps.

These records make it easier to file disputes or reports.

8. Report Suspicious Users

Don’t just ignore scammers — help the community stay safe.

Report the user to the P2P platform.

Warn others by leaving honest feedback.

If large sums are involved, report to your bank or local authorities.

9. Trust Your Instincts

If something feels off, it probably is. Scammers often create urgency or confusion to pressure you into acting quickly. Take your time, double-check details, and walk away if you’re unsure.

Conclusion

P2P platforms are a fantastic way to send and receive money, but they’re also a prime target for scammers. By staying informed, cautious, and proactive, you can avoid falling victim to common schemes. Always verify, double-check, and document every step of your transactions — your safety depends on it

Avoiding scams on Binance P2P (peer-to is really important, especially since you're dealing directly with other users. Here’s how you can stay safe in a simple and human way.
First, always check the trader’s reputation. Binance shows ratings and how many trades a person has completed. Choose traders with high completion rates (like 98% or higher), many trades, and good feedback. If someone is new or has poor reviews, it’s safer to avoid them—even if their offer looks attractive.
Second, never communicate or make payments outside Binance. Scammers often ask you to message them on WhatsApp or Telegram, or to pay using a different method outside the platform. Don’t do it. Always use the chat inside Binance and follow the steps exactly. That way, Binance can help you if something goes wrong.
Third, make sure you follow instructions carefully. When buying crypto, don’t click “Paid” unless you’ve actually sent the money. And when selling, never release the crypto until you’ve confirmed that the money is fully received in your bank account. Some scammers send fake payment screenshots or cancel payments after you’ve released the coins. Be careful.
Also, trust your gut. If something feels off—like if someone is rushing you, offering too much money, or trying to be overly friendly—it’s okay to back out. Stick to clear, respectful communication and always take your time.
Lastly, know that Binance has a dispute system. If a trade goes wrong or the other person doesn't act properly, you can raise a complaint. Binance’s support team can step in to help, but only if you’ve kept everything inside the app.
In short: check reviews, never go outside Binance, follow steps carefully, stay calm, and report anything suspicious. Taking these steps helps keep your crypto and your peace of mind safe.
