Beware of new Ethereum scam on Twitter/X, scammers claim ethereum.org to pay back all your spent gas fees.
Achtung vor einer neuen Betrugsmasche auf Twitter/X, Betrüger behaupten euch alle verbrauchten Gas-Fees zurückzuerstatten und geben sich als ethereum.org aus.
Bekomme kürzlich folgende betrügerische Werbung auf Twitter/X ausgespielt und kurz dachte ich tatsächlich, das wäre eine offizielle Aktion der Ethereum Foundation.
Erst nach einiger Recherche konnte ich die auf den ersten Blick legitim aussehende Anzeige als Scam erkennen.
Erstens verlinkt die Anzeige nicht auf ethereum.org sondern sie leitet euch auf eine neue Website um, die erst vor zwei Tagen registriert worden ist:
ethergases.com.example.com
Zweitens wird die Anzeige nicht vom offiziellen Ethereum-Account auf X geschaltet, sondern von einem User mit dem Namen "jake4146".
Anzeigen auf Social Media oder auf Google sind oft ein Einfallstor für Phishing-Attacken und Scams.
Und Drittens, wenn man kurz darüber nachdenkt, fällt der Scam wieder in die Kategorie "zu gut, um wahr zu sein". Warum sollte euch Ethereum alle Gas-Fees zurückerstatten, wie sollen sie das finanzieren?!
Was sagt ihr dazu? Habt ihr diesen Scam auch gesehen? Hättet ihr das Posting sofort als Fake erkannt?
"Ethereum Gas Fees Redistributed" Scam on Twitter/X
Ethereum scam ad on twitter/x claiming ethereum.org to redistribute your spent gas fees.
The scam ad links to the following phishing website ethergases.com.example.com and wants to connect to your MetaMask wallet and probably trick you into signing a transaction.
Note: example.com added to not link to the fake website

I recently received the following fraudulent advertisement on Twitter/X and briefly thought it was an official campaign by the Ethereum Foundation.
Only after some research was I able to recognize the ad, which at first glance looked legitimate, as a scam.
Firstly, the ad does not link to ethereum.org but redirects you to a new website that was only registered two days ago:
ethergases.com.example.com
Secondly, the ad is not placed by the official Ethereum account on X, but by a user with the name "jake4146".
Ads on social media or Google are often a gateway for phishing attacks and scams.
And thirdly, if you think about it for a moment, the scam falls back into the "too good to be true" category. Why should Ethereum refund all your gas fees, how are they going to fund this?!
What do you think? Did you see this scam too? Would you have recognized the post as fake immediately?

Unfortunately, scams are a daily occurrence and not only in the cryptomarket.
To be Sincere, it looks catchy and enchanting but one should be able to detect that things like this is nearly impossible 😅
We need to be very careful with shared links!
Hätte ich als Scam abgetan, hinterfrage so ziemlich alles, wo es um sowas wie man bekommt etwas umsonst. Und nur wenn ich denke, das ist noch realistisch, dann prüfe ich es.
Mich Nerven momentan Mails, mein Netflix wird gesperrt, weil Abbuchung nicht erfolgreich, ich hasse Scam 🤬

Hab die Werbung ebenfalls angezeigt bekommen.
Da es sich aber zu schön angehört hat um wahr zu sein, habe ich direkt weiter gescrollt.

@vikisecrets! Your Content Is Awesome so I just sent 1 $BBH (Bitcoin Backed Hive) to your account on behalf of @thebighigg. (3/50)
There are a lot of scams and I did not see this scam. Never connect your wallet on those shady sites and it's sad to see people get scammed.
There are many scams on the internet, first they give you a small task after that they give you small crypto. After that they ask you to invest, as soon as you invest , they disappear. Thanks for informing about new scam.
Scams are everywhere now and we must be very careful. Thank you so much for sharing this
If you want to work in this market, you have to stay away from such people, otherwise they take all your money, never click on any link.
