I almost lost everything â donât make the same mistake.
Last month, I opened my wallet expecting a $USDT paymentâŠ
Instead, I saw THIS:
â ïž âPay a 20% activation fee to unlock your funds.â
The balance was visible. The message looked legit.
But hereâs the truth: IT WAS 100% FAKE. đš
đ€Ż THE SCAM?
I was unknowingly connected to a fraudulent custom RPC node â created to show fake funds and bait users into sending real money to âunlockâ them.
đ« Donât Fall for It â Hereâs How to STAY SAFE:
1ïžâŁ NEVER use custom nodes from random sources
â If someone DMs you saying âjust add this RPCâ, BLOCK them.
2ïžâŁ Double-check balances on BscScan / Etherscan
â If funds show in your wallet but NOT on-chain â
đ„ Youâre being scammed.
3ïžâŁ âActivation feesâ = đ©BIG SCAM
â Real crypto wallets donât charge fees to show your funds.
đĄïž My New Safety Stack:
â Only default RPCs (MetaMask, TokenPocket, TrustWallet)
â Verify everything on-chain
â Never ever pay to âunlockâ anything
đą Scammers are evolving.
Theyâre not just phishing â theyâre building fake universes inside your wallet.
đĄ Donât be the next victim.
