They stayed up all night just for you ❤️
In our previous post, we explained how scammers impersonate DeDust team members and other protocols to trick you into giving them access to your funds.
🔒 Sometimes they go as far as creating entire fake group chats, complete with fake admins and users who deliberately chat with each other, discussing some kind of scam “airdrop.” The main funnel is usually a fake bot or website.
🔍 This doesn’t happen often, but from time to time we come across chats pretending to be official ones — sometimes even ours. They’re usually created late at night, with real users manually added in, and admins impersonating actual team members.
🛎️ By morning, the chat becomes active with discussions about a generous giveaway: “admins” post helpful instructions and share links to a bot or website — of course, fake — while planted users send screenshots of “received funds” and thank them for the “life-changing” opportunity.
💡 Compared to simple impersonation, this method is far more elaborate — which means it requires even more caution:
Now your funds are a bit safer. Don’t hand them over to scammers — save them for trading memecoins on x1000. Have a great day! 🔸

“Damn, they’re sneaky,” you might think.
“That’s just the beginning,” we’d say.

💡 Compared to simple impersonation, this method is far more elaborate — which means it requires even more caution:
1. This type of scam often involves connecting your wallet to a fake website. Memorize the official domain of the service — ours is DeDust.io — and don’t connect your wallet anywhere else.
2. Sometimes, to “claim a reward,” you’re asked to connect your wallet to a bot. Always verify the official bot via our website mentioned above. You’ll also find links to our official chats there. A key detail: @dedustBot has a Telegram verification badge.
3. It’s a good idea to disable the option in Telegram settings that allows others to add you to group chats without your consent.
4. In general, schemes like this rely on your naivety. Don’t fall for it — there’s no such thing as “free money falling from the sky.” Crypto can be surprising, but random giveaways of valuable assets are the exception, not the rule.
5. Remember this type of scam. If one morning you find yourself in a chat full of people discussing a giveaway, with “happy users” sharing screenshots of received funds — think back to this post.
Now your funds are a bit safer. Don’t hand them over to scammers — save them for trading memecoins on x1000. Have a great day! 🔸
