  • Scammers clone legitimate offers to trap unsuspecting holders
  • Impersonation tactics escalate as fraudulent support accounts resurface

XRP wallet holders are facing a sharp rise in coordinated scam attempts after Xaman founder Wietse Wind issued a public warning about fraudulent NFT offers circulating across the XRP Ledger ecosystem. According to Wind, attackers are sending unsolicited NFTs to random wallet addresses with the intention of tricking recipients into engaging with malicious offers that could ultimately compromise their funds.


He explained that scammers closely monitor legitimate NFT listings and offers made on the XRP Ledger, then duplicate or imitate those assets from separate wallets in order to present them as authentic opportunities to unsuspecting users. Consequently, victims who fail to verify the originating wallet address may believe they are interacting with a trusted project when, in reality, they are dealing with a fraudulent clone created solely to exploit them.

Additionally, Wind revealed that some bad actors have launched fake websites designed to resemble official Xaman domains, promoting what they claim are exclusive beta access passes distributed in NFT form. According to Wind, Xaman does not distribute promotional passes or NFTs, and any such offer circulating within wallets should immediately be treated as suspicious and canceled without hesitation.


He urged users to remain cautious at all times, especially when receiving unexpected NFT offers that request interaction or transaction approval, because engaging with unknown assets significantly increases exposure to potential scams.


Fake Support Accounts Intensify Pressure on XRP Users

Beyond the spread of fake NFTs, Wind also warned that impersonation tactics remain a serious and ongoing threat to XRP wallet holders across social platforms. According to him, fraudulent support accounts continue to contact users on X and Discord, pretending to represent official XRPL services or wallet providers.


He emphasized that legitimate support teams never request seed phrases, private keys, or transaction signatures for verification purposes, and they do not initiate unsolicited direct messages to users under any circumstances. Moreover, he encouraged the community to rely exclusively on in-app support features and to avoid engaging with any external links that claim to offer urgent assistance.


Meanwhile, the official XRPL blog confirmed that the XRP Ledger development network will undergo a full reset on March 3, 2026, deleting all accounts, balances, transactions, and ledger data from the devnet environment.


Wind’s warning highlights the growing sophistication of scam tactics targeting XRP wallets, reinforcing the need for heightened vigilance as fraudulent NFT schemes continue spreading rapidly across the ecosystem.
