Cardano Fans: Watch Out for Fake ADA Giveaways as Big Upgrade Nears

As Cardano prepares for its significant Chang upgrade, scammers try to trick people. The Cardano community warns everyone to be careful and avoid fake ADA giveaways.

The Chang upgrade is a big step for Cardano. It’s the result of years of hard work. This upgrade will help Cardano run itself, following a plan called CIP-1694. As stake pools update their systems, Cardano will enter a new phase called the Voltaire Era. This means ADA will work independently, showing other blockchains how it’s done.

Many crypto fans are excited about this upgrade. But this excitement also brings danger. Evil people might try to use this excitement to steal money.

Pete, an ADA community member who uses @astroboysoup on X, warns about these scams. He says, “With the big change coming, scammers are getting busy. People are falling for it again. Please tell everyone. There are no real ADA giveaways.”

Pete also points out a fake video that looks like Charles Hoskinson talking about an ADA giveaway. He warns, “These videos are all fake. Don’t believe them.”

These scams often promise accessible ADA if you send them a little first. They use social media, fake emails, or websites that look real but aren’t. After you send money, the scammers disappear.

Here’s what you need to know:

There are no official ADA giveaways.
Be very careful if someone says there are giveaways.
Scammers often ask you to send crypto to get accessible ADA.
If you send money, you’ll lose it and get nothing back.

The scammers are clever. They make their tricks look real. They might use fake websites that look like real Cardano sites, send emails that seem to come from Cardano or create fake social media accounts that look like real Cardano accounts.

As Cardano moves forward with its exciting upgrade, stay alert. Don’t let scammers trick you. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Protect your ADA by being careful and skeptical.

Remember, no one from Cardano will ever ask you to send ADA to get more ADA. If you’re unsure about something, ask trusted members of the Cardano community before you act. Stay safe and enjoy the real excitement of Cardano’s progress.
