New detection method: NFT impersonation is now caught at mint.
Any new NFT reusing another collection’s images / metadata is flagged by our scam detection system and available through our API.
15 scam detection methods supported, including dust spam, phishing, and NFT scams.
ALT Supports escrow phishing, memo phishing, NFT drain attacks, payment request drains, brand impersonation, and image-based impersonation.
The scammers are getting more and more brazen. A community member was just scammed with a fake Animal Fam NFT today.
Animal Fam issuer is linked to Syn3rgy art profile on XRP cafe. This means you can quickly verify if an asset or offer is legitimate.
Issuers matter - its how you identify a legitimate NFT rather than a scam.
Tips:
1.) Always check the issuer address. For Animal Fam the issuer is: rsynspCY79NU4ghuH8hgvedQv533rdvYfM
This shows on cafe (image 1), or you can double check by clicking the Token ID link on the same page which takes you to Bithomp. (Image 2)
2.) Who is offering you the XRP? Do you know the wallet? Is it a legitimate source?
3.) Is it a sell offer or a buy offer? These can look the same, so check. All transactions show you what is happening. Read before signing!
4.) where can you see the offer?
NEVER Accept an offer directly through your wallet. Check cafe, and check chain explorers first.
Don’t know how? LEARN. Decentralisation has a price - no counterparty to protect you or to blame. Triple check anything you sign.
We have noticed that there is a separate animal fam collection minted 3 months ago, it has 60 items. It is not listed on Cafe, but does exist on chain.
Its issuer is:
rQaFRNKwbfTNDAKvu1mKAf6bFr94mwmDsi
Do not interact with any assets issued by this issuer!
Stay safe out there - slow down, check what you’re signing. It will only get worse as price appreciates.
