In the hours before The Ethereum Merge takes place, scammers have come out in full force, attempting to steal funds from users. Investors do not have to do anything with their ETH for ການໂຮມເຂົ້າກັນ, should not click on any suspicious links, or interact with fake accounts.
The Ethereum Merge has brought scammers and impersonators, with social media being flooded with bad actors trying to capitalize on the event. Several types of ການສົ່ງເສີມການ are taking place on Twitter and other channels, and users are being warned not to fall for them.
One of the most common types of scams, which has existed for many years, involves bad actors impersonating Vitalik Buterin and providing links under the guise of giving away free ETH. These links mislead individuals into giving access to their crypto wallets.
They go to the lengths of using Buterin’s image as the profile picture — but looking at the Twitter handle itself, one can see that the names are different. Buterin has only one account on Twitter — @VitalikButerin — and users are advised to dismiss other accounts. The Ethereum co-founder himself has said on multiple occasions that there are no giveaways and asked users not to fall for scams.
Another popular type of scam is the phishing attempt. Many websites have popped up, targeting unwary users, and PeckShield has warned users of the websites and scams. The ຄວາມປອດໄພ company has also cautioned users not to fall for these phishing attempts.
