Common Scams to Avoid

Never Send Funds Based on Private Messages or Promotions

  • Scammers impersonate exchanges like Binance, Bybit, and OKX or pose as Vaulta services.

  • They lure users with promises of high returns, arbitrage, or deposit "bonuses".

  • If someone offers you "free money" for sending tokens, it's a scam.

Exchange Nicknames Are NOT Vaulta Addresses

  • Scammers exploit confusion by asking users to send Vaulta to an account named like their exchange "nickname".

  • Vaulta accounts are independent from exchange usernames — sending funds to a similar-looking account will send tokens directly to the scammer.

Watch for ‘Small Test Refund’ Tricks

  • Scammers build trust by returning a small amount (e.g., 5 $A + 3%) to bait you into sending a larger sum.

  • This "proof" is a setup. Once you send a bigger amount, they disappear with your funds.

Avoid Fake Testnets, Airdrops, or Network “Simulations”

  • Scammers ask you to send tokens to join “testnets” or fake airdrops.

  • They’ll claim your amount wasn’t enough, or a transaction is “stuck,” and ask for more.

  • This is a loop designed to extract as much as possible before you realize it’s a scam.

Scammers Impersonate Official Vaulta Services

  • Fake websites like vaulta-network.io are not official.

If You’re Asked to Send More to ‘Release’ Funds, Stop Immediately

  • This is a classic scam tactic. You cannot unlock stuck funds by sending more tokens.

If You Get Scammed

  • Do not send more.

  • Collect the scammer’s account name and transaction ID.

  • Report it to law enforcement and any exchange involved.

  • If you act fast and funds go to an exchange, they may help freeze the funds (with a police report).
