🛡️Avoiding scams

What is phishing?

Phishing websites and dApps (decentralized applications) try to trick users into giving up their sign-in credentials or other sensitive information, allowing scammers to take control of their accounts or wallets. These attackers often use emails, text messages, social media, and search-engine ads to make their sites appear legitimate.

What is a giveaway scam?

Scammers often run fake giveaway promotions on social media. They post screenshots claiming to be from companies or executives and link to fraudulent websites or private chats. They also use fake accounts to comment and make the scam look legitimate. These sites will then ask you to “verify” your wallet by sending cryptocurrency, money you will never get back.

Moonshot Support will never ask you for your login code or your secret phrase.

What are airdrop coins?

An airdrop is when the team behind a new coin sends free coins to your wallet to promote their project. Some airdrops are legitimate and part of a coin’s release plan. However, if you didn’t request the airdrop or if it includes instructions that send you to links outside the app, it may be fraudulent.
