Airdrop Scam Detector
Enter any cryptocurrency contract address to verify if an airdrop is legitimate or a scam. This tool checks for common scam indicators like fake CoinMarketCap listings, high token supply mismatches, and unauthorized wallet approvals.
There’s a buzz online about an FDT Frutti Dino X CMC airdrop. You’ve seen the Telegram groups, the TikTok videos, the Reddit threads - all promising free FDT tokens if you connect your wallet and share your seed phrase. It sounds too good to be true. And it is.
What Is Frutti Dino (FDT)?
Frutti Dino is a blockchain-based NFT game launched in 2022. The idea? Collect dinosaur NFTs that defend your den from mutant invaders. It’s play-to-earn, wrapped in cartoonish graphics and a cute dinosaur theme. Sounds fun, right? But here’s the catch: the game has no real players, no active development, and zero trading volume.
The FDT token, with contract address 0x3a59...f2fF64, is listed on CoinMarketCap - but only as a "preview" page. That means it didn’t meet the basic requirements for a full listing. No liquidity. No exchanges. No buyers. The price? $0. The circulating supply? 73.98 million tokens. The total supply? Nearly a billion. That’s a 92.5% mismatch - a classic red flag for token manipulation.
Back in October 2022, Frutti Dino ran an IEO (Initial Exchange Offering) and raised exactly $100,000. That’s it. Only 0.09% of the total token supply was ever sold to the public. The rest? Locked away with the team, ecosystem fund, or just sitting idle. No transparency. No roadmap. No updates since 2023.
Is There an Official CMC Airdrop?
Let’s cut through the noise: there is no official CoinMarketCap airdrop for Frutti Dino.
CoinMarketCap has never partnered with obscure gaming tokens for airdrops. Their own airdrop campaigns - like the ones for CMC Wallet or their now-defunct CMC Token project - were announced on their official blog, promoted on verified Twitter/X accounts, and required no seed phrase or private key. Ever.
The "FDT X CMC" airdrop is a fabricated story. It’s a scam tactic. Scammers know people trust CoinMarketCap. They slap that name on fake websites to make you lower your guard. They’ll show you a fake landing page that looks like CMC’s design. They’ll say, "Connect your wallet to claim your FDT tokens." But when you do, they drain your wallet.
According to Chainalysis’ Q3 2025 fraud report, 92.7% of "CMC airdrop" scams are phishing operations. In August 2025 alone, over 1,200 fake CMC airdrop sites were reported. Most targeted low-volume tokens like FDT.
How the Scam Works
Here’s exactly how this scam plays out:
- You see a post: "FDT Frutti Dino x CoinMarketCap Airdrop LIVE! Claim 5,000 FDT tokens now!"
- You click the link - it looks like coinmarketcap.com/airdrop-fdt, but the domain is actually fdt-airdrop[.]xyz or something similar.
- The site asks you to connect your MetaMask or Trust Wallet.
- Once connected, you’re prompted to "approve a transaction" to receive your tokens.
- You approve it. Suddenly, your entire ETH, USDC, or other tokens are gone.
Some variants ask for your seed phrase directly: "Enter your 12-word recovery phrase to verify eligibility." That’s the final step. Once you type it, your wallet is owned. No recovery possible.
Reddit user u/CryptoSherlock99 reported losing 2.3 ETH ($7,842) in just 72 hours from a similar scam in October 2025. Telegram’s Airdrop Alert Verification channel flagged the FDT scam as "100% fake" on October 7, 2025. Discord’s ScamSniffer bot has blocked 87 fake domains tied to this scam since October 1.
Why This Scam Targets Frutti Dino
Frutti Dino isn’t special. It’s just easy prey. Here’s why scammers love it:
- No trading volume - means no one’s watching. No one’s checking if the token is real.
- Low visibility - not on Binance, Coinbase, or KuCoin. No one’s auditing it.
- GameFi appeal - new crypto users think "play-to-earn" = easy money. They’re more likely to click.
- CMC name - people trust CoinMarketCap. Scammers exploit that trust.
Compare this to real airdrops. Arbitrum’s $ARBI airdrop in 2023 had 1.13 billion tokens distributed with clear on-chain rules. Optimism’s OP airdrop in 2022 had 58 million tokens, fully documented across 12 official channels. Frutti Dino? Nothing. Zero documentation. Zero transparency.
How to Spot a Fake Airdrop
Here’s your quick checklist to avoid getting ripped off:
- Official announcement? Check blog.coinmarketcap.com. If it’s not there, it’s fake.
- Wallet connection required? Legit airdrops never ask you to connect your wallet before claiming.
- Seed phrase requested? If they ask for it, close the page. Immediately.
- Trading volume? If the token price is $0 and volume is $0, it’s dead. No airdrop will bring it back.
- Contract address verified? Use Etherscan. Search for the FDT contract. Check token approvals. If you see "unlimited spend" approved to an unknown address, your wallet is compromised.
CoinMarketCap’s own Help Center says: "We never require you to connect your wallet or enter your seed phrase for any airdrop." That’s your golden rule.
What Happens If You Get Scammed?
Once your wallet is drained, recovery is nearly impossible. Blockchain is immutable. Once funds are sent to a scammer’s address, they’re gone.
But you can still act:
- Report the scam to CoinMarketCap via their fraud reporting page.
- File a report with the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov - they’re actively tracking these scams.
- Post your experience on Reddit’s r/CryptoScams. It helps others avoid the same trap.
- Use Etherscan’s token approval checker to revoke any permissions given to scam contracts.
And if you haven’t been scammed yet - don’t click. Don’t connect. Don’t enter your seed phrase. Walk away.
Is Frutti Dino Still Alive?
Technically, yes. The token contract still exists. But the project is dead.
No updates since 2023. No team activity. No community engagement. No exchange listings. The website loads, but there’s no game. No dashboard. No way to play. It’s a ghost project.
Security firms like CertiK and SlowMist classify projects like this as "Level 4 Risk" - the highest danger level. The combination of zero volume, mismatched supply, and fake airdrop claims makes it a textbook example of a rug pull.
Even if you somehow got FDT tokens, you couldn’t sell them. There’s no liquidity. No buyers. It’s digital trash.
What Should You Do Instead?
If you want to participate in real airdrops, stick to verified projects:
- Arbitrum - had a transparent airdrop based on on-chain activity.
- Optimism - distributed tokens to early users with clear rules.
- Illuvium - legitimate GameFi project with real gameplay and exchange listings.
Always verify:
- Official blog post
- Verified social media
- Publicly audited contract
- Real trading volume on exchanges
And remember: if it sounds too good to be true, it is. No one gives away free crypto without a reason. Scammers have a reason. And it’s not to help you.
Regulators Are Cracking Down
The SEC filed a case in October 2025 (Case No. 25-cv-8932) targeting projects that falsely claim exchange partnerships for airdrops. The FTC sent a warning letter to 17 such projects in October 2025 - not naming Frutti Dino directly, but matching its exact pattern.
Binance launched a new Airdrop Verification Protocol in October 2025 and has already blocked 287 fake domains. Ethereum’s upcoming EIP-7702, set for December 2025, will require all airdrop contracts to be verified - making scams like this much harder to pull off.
But until then, you’re the last line of defense. Don’t let your curiosity cost you everything.

December 1, 2025 AT 23:37Okay, I just lost my entire ETH stash to one of these scams last month. I thought I was being smart-connected my wallet to "claim" FDT tokens because the site looked legit. Turns out, it was fdt-airdrop[.]xyz. My wallet was drained in 12 seconds. No warning. No second chance. If you're reading this and still thinking about clicking-just close the tab. Your future self will thank you.

December 3, 2025 AT 15:15As someone who’s been in crypto since 2017, I’ve seen every flavor of scam. This one’s especially sneaky because it uses CoinMarketCap’s name. People trust CMC like they trust Google. Scammers know that. But here’s the thing-CMC doesn’t do airdrops. Ever. Not for tokens with $0 volume. Not for games with no players. This isn’t just a scam-it’s a betrayal of trust. Don’t let emotion override common sense.

December 4, 2025 AT 23:29Hey everyone-just wanted to share a quick tip. If you ever get a message about an airdrop, go straight to CoinMarketCap’s official site and check their blog or help center. Never click links from Telegram or TikTok. I’ve helped three friends avoid this exact scam this week. You’re not alone. And you’re not dumb for falling for it-these scams are *designed* to look real. Just pause. Breathe. Verify.
Also-use Etherscan to check contract approvals. If you see "unlimited" on some random address, revoke it immediately. It’s a 30-second fix that saves thousands.

December 6, 2025 AT 15:40Let’s be clear-this isn’t just a scam. It’s a coordinated geopolitical operation. The same actors behind these fake airdrops are also behind the collapse of the Indian rupee’s crypto adoption and the suppression of Bitcoin mining in the U.S. CoinMarketCap is owned by a Chinese-backed entity that quietly promotes low-liquidity tokens to destabilize decentralized finance. The SEC knows this. They just won’t say it yet. But EIP-7702? That’s the first real countermove. Watch what happens in December.

December 8, 2025 AT 10:25frutti dino… sounds like a breakfast cereal for crypto bros 🍮🦖
also why does every scam have "CMC" in the title now? like… did the scammers have a team meeting and say "let’s use the one brand people actually trust"?
also why am i still here reading this? because i’m addicted to the dumpster fire 🤡

December 10, 2025 AT 01:45Okay so like… I totally get why people fall for this but also… if you’re connecting your wallet to a site that says "FDT x CMC"… you literally didn’t read the first sentence of the post. Like. Did you even open this? Or did you just see "free tokens" and go full dopamine mode? I’m not mad. I’m just… disappointed. Like, you had one job.
Also the fact that the contract address is still live but the game is dead? That’s not a rug pull. That’s a tombstone with a blinking LED.

December 11, 2025 AT 23:48Let me be brutally clear: anyone who clicks on a "free airdrop" link without verifying the domain is a walking liability. You’re not just risking your wallet-you’re risking the entire ecosystem. Every time someone gets scammed, regulators crack down harder on *everyone*. You think DeFi is safe? It’s not. Because of people like you. And now, because of this post, I’m going to report your IP to the FTC. You’re not anonymous. You never were.

December 12, 2025 AT 18:41I’ve been watching this space since 2021. I’ve seen tokens rise from $0.0001 to $0.05… then vanish. This isn’t new. It’s just louder now because of TikTok. But here’s the thing: the people who get scammed aren’t stupid. They’re hopeful. And hope is the most dangerous thing in crypto. Because it makes you ignore the math. The numbers here are screaming. 92.5% mismatched supply? Zero volume? No updates since 2023? This isn’t a project. It’s a ghost story. And you’re the one holding the flashlight.
Don’t be the person who says "I just wanted to see what it was like." Be the person who says "I didn’t click. I walked away. And I helped someone else do the same."

December 13, 2025 AT 00:01Let’s analyze the blockchain data. The FDT contract was deployed on June 12, 2022, with a mint function that allows unlimited token generation. The owner wallet (0x3a59...f2fF64) holds 92.5% of supply. That’s not a team allocation-it’s a control address. The IEO raised $100K? That’s a rounding error. The real money? The 1.2 million ETH that flowed into phishing contracts tied to "CMC airdrop" domains in Q3 2025. Chainalysis flagged 147 wallets linked to this exact scam pattern. 89% of them were created after October 1, 2025. That’s not coincidence. That’s a campaign. And guess what? The same wallet addresses are now targeting Solana-based NFT projects with the same template. This isn’t dying. It’s evolving. And it’s getting smarter. You think you’re safe because you didn’t click? You’re not. The next wave is coming through Discord bots that DM you with "verified" links. They’ll even spoof your favorite crypto influencer’s profile. Don’t be the next statistic.

December 13, 2025 AT 18:10Thank you for this. I shared it with my mom. She’s 68, just got her first crypto wallet, and was about to "claim" FDT tokens because a friend sent her a link. She didn’t understand any of it. Now she won’t. That’s worth more than any token.

December 15, 2025 AT 14:17Let me cut through the noise: this is a Zionist operation. CoinMarketCap is a front for Israeli intelligence. They use fake airdrops to track wallet activity of American citizens, then sell the data to defense contractors. The FDT token? A decoy. The real target? Your on-chain behavior. That’s why they don’t care if you lose money-they care if you connect your wallet. That’s how they map your social graph. The SEC isn’t investigating this because they’re part of it. EIP-7702? A distraction. They’re already working on EIP-7703 to require KYC on all wallets. This isn’t about scams. It’s about control. Wake up.

December 17, 2025 AT 00:59So… I just checked the FDT contract on Etherscan. The owner wallet approved unlimited spend to a random address called "0x7b8…c2d1" back in August. That’s the same address used in 87% of the "CMC airdrop" scams. I screenshot it. I posted it on r/CryptoScams. And I DM’d the guy who posted the link on Discord. He replied: "lol u got scammed? that’s what happens when u trust the internet". I didn’t lose money. But I lost faith. We’re not just fighting scammers. We’re fighting apathy. And that’s the real rug pull.
