Hello there,

I was trying to access Yieldwatch today, but their website won't budge today, it's not loading any data. Thus, I proceeded to use Growing.fi instead. However, it was showing some crazy high balance, which alarmed me, at first, I misinterpreted the comma, but it is indeed showing $500k.



I'm feeling something is off, why isn't Yieldwatch showing me these stupid Tokens and Growing.fi is? From where is it getting its data? At first, I was startled, I don't recall signing up for any airdrops, there's no absolute way I've acquired any other coins myself.




My first thought was to look them up on BscScan, nothing showed up of course, with alarms ringing in my head. Accessed their website, which looks like a basic scam template, made to look good, but it's exactly what everyone uses. Pressing the "Get Airdrop" button on their website, prompts you to connect your wallet. It's pretty safe to say that you should NEVER by any means connect your wallet to any unknown source.

Is this a new type of scam going on? It's the first time I'm seeing it, why is Growing.fi showing these coins? Is it indirectly contributing to such scams?
