Cardano Community – an X (Twitter) account dedicated to the blockchain platform – issued a stark warning to users about a dangerous fraud that has been recently targeting victims.
Specifically, some Berry Pool delegators have received a dubious non-fungible token (NFT), promising additional ADA rewards through “a deceptive/fake rewards event.”
The team behind the X account alerted individuals to be utterly cautious since the associated website has been identified as a scam.
“Unfortunately, users who connected their wallets and signed transactions have already experienced losses exceeding 200K ADA,” Cardano Community added.
Subsequently, users were advised to carefully examine transaction summary before conducting any final processes to ensure the security of their assets.
ADA’s price has been on a significant uptrend lately, which could be one reason why it became the subject of the latest scam.
