I received this in a couple of my wallets. What does 100 SOL coupon mean? Since it seems scammy should I not use them for staking?

    Man don’t do it. Burn that NFT. Don’t click on the website link, that’s how I lost all my staked SOLs. Any NFT you receive are from lowlife miserable scammers. You’ll lose all your coins the moment you click their website link and connect your wallet.

    karma coming for these trash bags

    I wanted to fuck around one time to test this out so I created a new wallet and waited for one to come in. I typically see these scams more on polygon honestly, but the one time I tried to dig deeper there wasn’t much to find at all which is never a good sign. Some of them have links to websites. Where yes they say you can stake the nft for x amount of whatever coin. All the ones I’ve tried and tested have you go through hoops putting in information, and they always end with the infamous tell tell sign that you should run: they ask for your recovery phrase for the wallet. If you don’t already know NEVER give your backup phrase away. I’ve given out that spam seed phrase once or twice now too and there were a ton of transactions I didn’t make but my balance never changed. I only gave out the phrase like I said maybe twice but it took a while before they were trying to drain the empty account. Sometimes they even try to transfer out the other fake nfts and I personally think that’s the funniest part. Finally I just quit checking that account one day. There’s no saving it. I just consider it to be “sacrificed to the the gods of curiosity.”

    TLDR 99% of the time these are scam and they’ll ask for your recovery phrase. Which is 100% the last thing you should ever do. Please be safe out there friends. 👉👉

      The super low gas fees on Solana and Polygon are a double edged sword. On one hand it makes transactions so much easier. On the other it makes it very easy for scammers to mint scam NFTs and trick crypto newcomers.

        I feel that. I kinda have similar feelings about polygon. I made an entire nft collection on eth and another on polygon and a week later I started getting a ton of spam polygon NFTs. So I dont have too much faith they will, sell but they have links to my merch sites if anyone wants them. 🤷

    Any NFT that you is sent to your wallet that you have 0 idea about and aren’t related to your current NFTs you should burn it. It’s very rare for NFT collections to be air dropped another NFT from another collection. Some NFT collections do have generations or items that will be air dropped but it’s very rare.

    Any “financial” NFT air drop is a straight scam.
