How we checked this
We reviewed the linked sources and keep this page updated when the record changes. Use the source list below to verify the details.
The pattern
Fake support accounts, clone domains and seed phrase prompts often appear around moments of confusion: outages, listing news, wallet bugs or trending airdrops.
What an author column should do
The column can summarize the pattern, cite official sources and recommend checks. It should not claim that a specific service is fraudulent without strong evidence.
Editorial rule
Columns can be useful and opinionated, but they need labels, sources and related pages so readers can separate analysis from confirmed news.
