Fake giveaways, airdrops and "double your crypto"
Deepfake videos or fake pages of famous people: "send 1 bitcoin, get 2 back" or "connect your wallet to claim free tokens". Money sent never returns, and connected wallets get drained.

Red flags
- "Send and get double back"
- QR codes and countdowns on "live" videos
- Wallet connection or seed phrase needed to claim
Remember
Nobody doubles your money for free. Connecting your wallet and signing one approval to "claim free tokens" can let a scammer move your coins. More: fake apps and phishing.
