❓ Frequently Asked Questions

I think I was scammed. What do I do?

Immediately:

1. Revoke all approvals on Revoke.cash

2. Move remaining funds to a new wallet

3. Never use that wallet again

Within 24 hours:

1. Report to local authorities

2. Report to the platform (Discord, Twitter, etc.)

3. Report to us (we’ll warn others)

Can you recover my funds?
No. Nobody can recover crypto once sent to a scammer. Anyone claiming they can is a recovery scammer.

How do I know if a site is fake?

Checklist:

• URL matches official exactly (no typos)

• HTTPS enabled

• No requests for seed phrase

• Cross-check Twitter/Discord official links

• Check ScamSniffer or Token Sniffer

Are all airdrops scams?

No. Legitimate airdrops exist (UNI, ARB, OP, etc.). But 90% of unsolicited airdrop DMs/ads are scams.

Can hardware wallets prevent all scams?

No. Hardware wallets protect your seed phrase but cannot prevent:

• Approving a malicious contract

• Signing a permit drainer

• Connecting to a fake site

What’s the single most important safety rule?

Never, ever share your seed phrase. Not to “support.” Not to “verify.” Not to anyone. Ever.
