A popular decentralized exchange (DEX), Curve Finance, has issued a warning to its users about the proliferation of scam accounts on Twitter. In a post, the company explicitly stated that it is not offering any airdrops now or in the future and urged users to be wary of such claims.
The announcement follows a recent uptick in Twitter scam accounts posing as Curve Finance. These deceptive accounts often use similar names and logos to mimic Curve’s official profile and promise false giveaways or “airdrops” to deceive unsuspecting users.
Curve Finance highlighted a key identifier to distinguish the real account from the fake ones. “Our account has no blue checkmark, and scammers do,” the company wrote, turning the typical verification process on its head.
While the blue checkmark is often associated with authenticity, Curve Finance does not have this mark, thus providing users with an unusual but clear distinction between genuine and scam accounts. As scammers often purchase the paid blue tick on Twitter.
Scammers in the crypto world often use tactics such as fake airdrops to trick individuals into parting with their assets. Such scams have increased with the growing popularity of cryptocurrencies.
Therefore, Curve Finance’s alert underscores the need for users to remain vigilant and verify information from multiple sources before taking any action. Always remember that if an offer appears too good to be true, it most likely is. Trust your instincts, do your research, and keep your crypto safe.
