$300K Stolen By Fake Blur Airdrop Websites

Scammers continue to prey on nonfungible token (NFT) users looking to claim Blur (BLUR) token airdrops via a variety of bogus websites.

According to TrustCheck data, over $300,000 has been stolen from unsuspecting users who linked their wallets to malicious websites.

The legitimate Blur platform is a newcomer to the NFT marketplace space, making waves in the industry with brisk user numbers and trading volume, which are directly related to the platform’s three-phase airdrop incentive scheme. In its second token airdrop scheme, which began on February 15, 10% of Blur’s total token supply was distributed to users based on their trading activity.

According to TrustCheck, over $300,000 in funds has been stolen from 24 different scam websites since February 15. A handful of these websites are still functional, with users warned to be wary when connecting wallets.
