Per the announcement, the Arbitrum altcoin team allegedly revealed that some requirements were not met during the March 23 airdrop. The scammers therefore lied that it was decided to organize an extra airdrop to allow all affected Arbitrum (ARB) users to “reclaim” their bonuses and rewards.
The scammers stated that the additional airdrop can only be accessed through the link they shared.
Hackers asked users to check their eligibility by signing a message. Obviously, this was a phishing link designed to steal users’ seed phrases and drain funds from their Arbitrum (ARB) wallets.
