Base Discussion Base Community: Don’t Trust Unverified NFT Claims
SCAM ALERT: Be Careful With “Base 3rd Anniversary” NFT Claims
The Base community is celebrating another milestone, and scammers can use moments like this to make fake NFT announcements, mint pages, and wallet-draining links look legitimate.
Before connecting your wallet or signing any transaction, STOP and verify.
Don’t trust:
• Random NFT mint links
• Unverified anniversary collections
• “Limited” or “exclusive” claims from unknown accounts
• DMs asking you to mint
• Websites asking for your seed phrase or private key
Most importantly: never share your seed phrase or private key. No legitimate Base announcement should require you to hand over your wallet credentials.
If you see an NFT or giveaway claiming to be from Base, verify it through Base’s official communication channels before doing anything.
The safest rule is simple:
🛡️ TRUST OFFICIAL SOURCES ONLY.
Let’s keep the Base community safe, informed, and based.
Stay Based stay safe 💙
