Warnings have been issued by various crypto and security entities regarding a scam targeting attendees of the Pudgy Penguins x Memeland event in Paris, scheduled for 8:00pm. The scam involves fraudulent emails and messages urging recipients to claim non-existent NFTs or passes by connecting their wallets to malicious sites, referencing Eventbrite, minting, and external links. Official sources, including Pudgy Penguins, have clarified that there are no surprise mints or claims associated with their events, and attendees are advised to ignore such communications and verify any information through trusted channels. The scam has also been noted to misuse personal profiles and banners to appear legitimate, with a false promise that one cannot 'reverse the blockchain', further emphasizing the need for vigilance among participants. The @solana ecosystem was also mentioned in alerts, highlighting the widespread nature of the scam.
Never connect your wallet to a site you aren’t 100% sure is safe.
