This video covers some of the most common ways you can get scammed or hacked within the NFT space. The NFT space is growing rapidly and has a TON of opportunity, but with that explosive growth and wild opportunity comes people who want to take advantage of you. This video was made to help you avoid getting scammed so your experience can remain a positive one.
I cover fake NFTs on OpenSea, how to compare NFT contracts to verify what you have is legit, common phishing scams trying to steal your information, as well as give a brief overview of why you should use a hardware wallet to protect what you have. I hope this video is helpful!

for phising scams, can your wallet be corrupted from interacting with the address?
@MattBorchert 2 жыл бұрын
I don't know exactly what sort of phishing scam you're refencing here. My understanding is that a corrupt contract can only continue to do harm while it is being executed. Most phishing scams that I know of will seek to get your seed phrase / private key, in which case, that wallet is corrupt forever and should never be used again.

You can use the hide functionality on OpenSea for free, or you can send it to a burn address. A bunch of 0's. That being said, if you're ever sent an NFT you didn't buy, just hide it and never interact with it in any other way. Some can have malicious contracts. Hiding doesn't use the contract, but transferring to a burn address would.

What's the difference between a fake and the real nft tho. Isn't it just from another creator then?
@MattBorchert 2 жыл бұрын
As noted in the video, it's easily established by it coming from an unofficial contract. Much like Bitcoin, it has no value if it isn't on the official chain / contract.

What do you think of those random NFTs sent to your address randomly? I'm reluctant to sell it as I have to "sign" the metamask to do so...

I recommend using the hide feature on OpenSea and doing nothing else.

This is like going to the alley in LA and seeing these imitation toys. Knock offs of the licensed products. The thing is people are going to buy fakes knowing it's fake because they can't afford the real thing. Functionally it's to get some thing cheap for an avatar display. In real life People buy fake prints or posters just to hang on their wall knowing it's not the original art.

True, but the big problem are the fakes that claim to be real, ripping off the buyer. The good thing is once you know what to look for, spotting the fake is very easy on the blockchain! 🙌

@@MIDGETMAD1 Sadly no. If you bought on OpenSea you can attempt to reach out to their support, just be very careful to make sure you're talking to the real support. I think their Discord has a support channel that opens a ticket. Their support agents will never DM you.

People keep messaging me on my AI art Instagram page asking to buy my photos as NFTs. How can I tell if these are scams, or are they all scams?
@MattBorchert Жыл бұрын
If you're interested in making NFTs from your artwork, just add them to a marketplace and then share the link. Don't do individual deals with people. Stick to trusted marketplaces like OpenSea. :)

What happens if you did not give your seed phrase, but when there was a public minting you clicked on the website and was tricked by the minting the actual NFT? Is that the same as giving your metamask key phrase and do I need to change my metamask account?
@MattBorchert 2 жыл бұрын
Not the same, no. It is possible for any contact you interact with to be malicious though, so don't interact with NFTs or pages you aren't sure are legitimate.

I just joined OpenSea last night as an artist. Thanks for this! I don't know why I'm shocked that jackasses are trying to scam people & steal art within the NFT space. There are asshats everywhere I guess. :-/
