Don't Let Scammers Win: How to Tell the Real Bitget Wallet Airdrop from Fake Ones

2025-11-27 00:01

As the crypto market continues to heat up in 2025, airdrops have once again become one of the hottest topics among users. However, this surge in interest has also brought increasingly sophisticated and deceptive fake airdrop scams. In particular, “fake Bitget Wallet (BWB) airdrop sites” have recently flooded social communities. These scams feature highly convincing interfaces and precise attack methods, making it easy for unsuspecting users to lose their wallet assets in an instant.

To help users stay safe in this rapidly evolving crypto landscape, we’ve compiled a clear, actionable, and straightforward security guide. Our goal is simple: to equip you with the confidence to distinguish genuine airdrop sites from scams every time you encounter them.

1. Why Are “Fake BWB Airdrop Sites” Suddenly Everywhere?

Entering 2025, crypto wallets have become the primary gateway to Web3, and legitimate airdrop campaigns often drive rapid user growth. As brands gain recognition, scammers naturally seize the opportunity to create counterfeit links and ride the wave of popularity.

Fake sites typically share these characteristics:

  • UI design closely mimics Bitget’s official site, making it nearly impossible to spot at first glance
  • Use urgent phrases like “Claim Now” or “Limited-Time Airdrop” to create a sense of urgency
  • Require you to connect your wallet and deploy malicious contracts in the background
  • Trick users into granting “unlimited asset transfer permissions” (unlimited allowance)

Once you sign, attackers can drain tokens from your wallet without any notification.

2. How Do These Scams Work?

Scammers generally use three main tactics to carry out their attacks:

1. Fake Airdrop Sites (Fake Claim Page)

These sites look legitimate but are actually phishing pages hiding suspicious smart contracts behind the scenes.

2. Malicious Signature Requests

When you click “Claim BWB,” the site pops up a signature request, often using terms like:

  • SetApprovalForAll
  • Permit
  • IncreaseAllowance

All of these represent high-risk authorizations.

3. Impersonating Support or Telegram Groups

Fraudsters pose as “Bitget official support,” claiming to help you claim your airdrop and luring you into clicking fake links.

3. How Can You Spot a Fake “BWB Airdrop” Site? (The Five Most Important Steps)

Follow this security checklist to quickly filter out more than 95% of counterfeit airdrop sites:

① Is the domain from the official bitget.com website?

The official site will never use:

  • bit-get-airdrop.com
  • bgb-airdrop.claim-now.cc
  • bwb-free.org
  • Any domain containing “claim,” “airdrop,” or “free-token”

② Are you being asked to enter your mnemonic phrase or private key?

The official site will never ask for your mnemonic phrase. If you see this request → it’s a 100% scam.

③ Does connecting your wallet trigger high-risk contract permissions?

If you encounter prompts like:

  • Approve Max
  • Unlimited Spending
  • SetApprovalForAll
  • Permit2

Immediately cancel and close the site.

④ Can you trace the source of the community?

Scammers often use:

  • Discord direct messages
  • Telegram private links
  • Fake X (Twitter) accounts
  • Embedded ad links

Official airdrops are never sent via private messages.

⑤ Is the airdrop announced through official channels?

Any legitimate airdrop will:

  • Appear on the Bitget official website
  • Be announced on the official X account
  • Show up in official app notifications

If you only see the airdrop in unfamiliar groups, it’s almost certainly fake.

4. What Should You Do If You Spot a Suspicious Airdrop?

Follow these steps to ensure curiosity doesn’t cost you your assets:

  • Don’t click unknown links
  • Never enter your private key or mnemonic phrase into any form
  • Don’t authorize transactions through unfamiliar signature links
  • Use your wallet’s security scanner to check contracts
  • Verify the campaign’s authenticity with official support or community channels

Additionally, we strongly recommend enabling:

  • Wallet view-only mode
  • Regularly revoking wallet permissions

These measures will significantly reduce your exposure to risk.

5. What If You’ve Already Clicked?

If you’ve already authorized or signed a transaction, take these immediate actions:

  1. Go to Revoke.cash or BSCScan Token Approval
  2. Revoke all suspicious authorizations
  3. Transfer your remaining assets to a new wallet
  4. Disable any unfamiliar browser extensions

If necessary, consider using a hardware wallet as your primary long-term asset storage.

Conclusion: Don’t Let Scammers Be the Biggest Winners of the Airdrop

A genuine airdrop will never rush you, force you to authorize transactions, or ask for your mnemonic phrase. Any site that makes earning look “too easy” deserves your utmost caution.
