CRITICAL crypto
Is “got a dm to verify my crypto wallet is it a scam” a scam?
Yes — this is a known, dangerous scam.
A fake 'BNB Chain Verification' site prompts you to connect your Trust Wallet or MetaMask. A hidden third permission grants unlimited token allowance; an automated drainer script sweeps your entire wallet in seconds. Loss is irreversible.
How to tell
- ⚠ No legitimate BNB Chain or Trust Wallet project sends unsolicited DMs asking you to 'verify' your wallet on a third-party site
- ⚠ The URL is slightly wrong: testwallet.site, beptest.org, bep20test.com — not trustwallet.com or bnbchain.org
- ⚠ A wallet permission dialog appears with a third item flagged in red asking to 'move funds without permission' or grant unlimited token allowance
- ⚠ The site claims to resolve a 'compliance error', 'verification hold', or 'account restriction' on your wallet
What to do right now
- 1 Never connect your crypto wallet to any URL sent via a DM, group chat, or social media post — not even from an account that looks official
- 2 Before clicking Approve in any wallet permission dialog, read every permission line; reject any that grant unlimited or unspecified token access
- 3 Revoke suspicious approvals immediately at https://allowance.bscscan.com (BNB Chain) or https://revoke.cash
- 4 Report at https://cybercrime.gov.in or call 1930 (national cyber helpline).
