[75861] A wave of promises for financial grants on social media raises suspicion of fraudulent activity

A wave of money giveaways on social media: A social initiative or a crypto scam?

On May 30, 2026, intense activity was recorded among X network users as prominent accounts began offering financial grants to their followers. These are initiatives aimed primarily at the cryptocurrency community, under declarations of "rewarding the community" and providing assistance in purchasing personal products.

According to Crypto__Haris, the influencer claims he is interested in distributing funds and even presented a digital wallet address, while asking his followers: "If I sent you $2,000 today, would you be able to buy your dream phone?". In another post that was shared, it was noted that 10 SOL coins worth an estimated $800 were sent. Alongside this activity, other users such as vsented published similar messages, in which they ask followers to reply with their SOL wallet addresses under the instruction: "I feel like I want to send you some money".

It is important to note that the activity of Crypto__Haris and vsented is characterized by the use of aggressive promotion tactics typical of crypto communities, often based on creating "hype" around rapid money distribution. The reporting sources, including Eni447 and AUGUSTUS0000000, provided limited exposure to these events, which raise concern among cyber experts regarding the exposure of users' personal details and the possibility of phishing scams in the digital currency sector.

While the influencers present this as digital philanthropic activity, the lack of full transparency surrounding the source of the funds and the motives behind disclosing wallet addresses raises doubts among segments of the public online regarding the credibility of the initiative.
