​​ Community cautions against phony Arbitrum airdrops

Arbitrum's upcoming ARB token airdrop has become a prime target for scammers attempting to trick crypto users, with hundreds of phishing scams emerging within the community.

The airdrop will send out 10 billion governance tokens via a token airdrop, allowing holders to vote on code changes. Unfortunately, scammers have attempted to set up fake token airdrops to steal funds from victims ahead of the official event.

Redefine, a blockchain security company, found a website impersonating an official Arbitrum airdrop website. CertiK, another blockchain security firm, pointed to a fake Arbitrum Twitter account.

Meanwhile, Reddit user u/CryptoMaximalist advised checking a user's profile and history before clicking on shared links. According to Web3 anti-scam tool Scam Sniffer, it detected more than 273 phishing sites related to Arbitrum since the token airdrop was announced.

The Arbitrum Foundation used a points system to determine who could claim tokens in the Airdrop and how many they could claim.
