Quick tips
Protect your recovery phrase. Never share your 12- or 24-word recovery phrase. Your recovery phrase is what gives you, and only you, access to your wallet. ENS will never ask for it.
Slow down. Rushing into things is when mistakes are made. Scams rely on urgency. Take time to read prompts, URLs, and transaction details before approving anything.

Common Scams
Fake NFT Mint
The fake NFT mint website is one of the most common scams, a site that's set up to look like an NFT project where you connect your wallet, press a button to mint, and approve a transaction to "get your NFT". Instead, the transaction either transfers your NFTs directly or grants another wallet access to your entire NFT collection.
Always verify the transaction details in your wallet match what you intend to do.
Fake MetaMask Login
A website designed to look like MetaMask's login screen can sometimes be extremely convincing. The scam asks for your seedphrase. The real MetaMask only asks for your password.
Never share your seedphrase with anyone. ENS will never ask for it.
Fake Airdrop
Fake airdrop claim pages are always around, and multiply during news announcements. ENS has no active airdrops. The only airdrop ended May 2022.
ENS has no current or planned airdrops. Any site claiming otherwise is a scam.
Fake Token
Scammers send unknown tokens to your wallet. These tokens can drain your funds when you try to exchange them.
Never interact with tokens you didn't request or recognize.
