"Verify your recovery phrase"
A seed phrase or private key gives control of your wallet. Never enter it into a claim page or send it to support.
AIRDROPBUZZ SAFETY DESK
Crypto airdrop safety.
Pause before you connect.
A reward is never worth your recovery phrase. Check the link, understand the signature and keep your main holdings separate.
No wallet connection needed to use this guide.
YOUR PRE-FLIGHT CHECK
Four checks.
Before one signature.
Use this as a research reminder, not a security certificate. A completed checklist does not verify a project or guarantee a payout.

Pressure is a reason to pause.
Scams borrow familiar branding. Focus on what you are being asked to do.
"Send crypto to unlock more"
A stranger promising a larger return after a payment is a major warning sign. Network gas is not a payment to an unofficial unlock address.
"Just sign, it is free"
Free-to-sign does not mean harmless. Unlimited allowances and NFT operator permissions can expose assets beyond a single claim.
EVIDENCE, NOT RUMOURS
Scam Hall of Fame
Explore flagged projects, supporting sources and review dates. Warnings, confirmed cases and resolved cases are clearly separated. A warning alone is not proof of fraud.
BUILD SAFER HABITS
Separate your savings from your experiments.
Keep a vault wallet
Hardware wallets can keep signing keys offline. They do not protect you from authorizing a malicious transaction. Read the device display and keep backups secure.
Protect email and logins
Use unique passwords and enable strong two-factor authentication where supported. Download software only from verified official sources.
Review old approvals
Disconnect unused sites and separately review their on-chain allowances. Reduce unnecessary permissions; revocation may require a network transaction.
ALREADY CLICKED OR SIGNED?
Stop. Identify what was exposed.
Do not follow recovery DMs or pay anyone promising guaranteed fund recovery. Open help through your wallet provider's verified website.
I only connected my wallet
Disconnect the suspicious site using your wallet settings. Review recent activity and any signatures you approved. Disconnecting does not revoke existing token allowances.
I approved token or NFT access
Review and revoke suspicious on-chain permissions through your wallet provider or a verified block explorer. Use official documentation, not a link sent by the suspicious site.
I shared a recovery phrase or private key
Treat every account derived from that phrase as compromised. Revoking approvals is not enough. Seek your wallet provider's official guidance for a new wallet with a new recovery phrase on a trusted device; do not keep adding funds to the exposed wallet.
I want to report a suspicious project
Send public source URLs, transaction hashes and a factual description through our contact page. Do not send keys, identity documents or private user information. Reports are reviewed, not automatically published.

Are crypto airdrops safe?
Not automatically. Verify the official domain, eligibility and transaction details independently. A listing, editorial score or clean scanner result cannot guarantee safety or rewards.
Is it normal to pay to receive an airdrop?
Some campaigns require funds or network gas for on-chain activity. That is different from sending crypto to a stranger who promises a larger return or asks for an unlock payment. Check costs and the recipient before you act.
Does disconnecting my wallet remove token approvals?
No. Disconnecting a site and revoking on-chain token approvals are different actions. Existing approvals may remain active; review them through your wallet provider or a verified block explorer.
Does AirdropBuzz ever ask for my keys?
Never. Do not send us your seed phrase, private keys, passwords or remote access. Reports should contain only public links, transaction hashes and non-sensitive evidence.
Does a warning mean a project is confirmed fraudulent?
No. The Scam Hall of Fame separates warnings, confirmed cases and resolved cases. A broken link, missed date or risk label alone does not establish fraud. Read the supporting evidence and review date.
