In a series of tweets, Cryptonary noticed a surge in angry NFT enthusiasts who have lost their Bored Ape Yacht Club, and other vital NFTs through phishing attacks that have been initiated and promoted by verified Twitter accounts. It seems that a number of these scammers have been continuously targeting valuable NFT owners.

Verified Twitter users promoting scam giveaways

As revealed by a Twitter @zachxbt, there has been a number of instances in which NFT holders have lost their valuable tokens by participating in scam giveaways. An account on the social media platform by the name of bhawana.eth which later changes its name to Bhawana Ghimire (@BhawanaCAN) had scammed a number of investors by promoting a fake airdrop, ripping off 500k worth of NFTs (BAYC, MAYC, & more) from a user. 

It seems that losing half a million dollars has had a great impact on the NFT community on Twitter. It is important to note that the verified user who promoted the airdrop actually deleted all the tweets related to the topic following a huge backlash from users. 

Word of caution

@zachxbt also pointed out that there was another person who had lost around 3 BAYC NFTs worth over a million dollars. The scammers phished the user through a new BAYC animation phishing site as per the tweet from the user. 

Following this event, @zachxbt who claims to be a survivor of 10 rug-pulls asked users to "stop connecting your wallet & approving transactions on random sites" and "always triple check the site you are connecting your wallet to so you don’t become the next victim."

In a March 22 tweet, @zachxbt also pointed out 2 similar websites that were being promoted on the social media platform and wonders if all these websites are being handled by the same user. 

Cryptonary is publishing this article for readers to know that these scammers keep making new sites and accounts on Twitter.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

Then you don’t pay. If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked.
