Bitcoin faucet scams

Scammers love faucet keywords because newcomers expect small amounts and click quickly. The scam is rarely the drip—it is the credential or key you hand over.

Common patterns

Typosquat domains that mimic Cointiply or FreeBitco.in. “Verify wallet” forms asking for a seed phrase. Telegram bots promising 10× multiply if you deposit first. Fake FaucetPay login pages linked from Discord. Bookmark only from the referral desk and payout database.

Safe habits

Faucets use email/password—never a BIP-39 seed on a claim form. Enable 2FA on FaucetPay and exchanges. Send a test amount before sizing withdrawals. Broader checklist: How to spot crypto phishing.

If you already clicked

Rotate passwords, revoke sessions, and pause payout addresses on external faucets until you confirm control. Report phishing domains when possible. Log corrections if our desk linked outdated info—see the corrections log.
