Indicators observed

  • Giveaway scam: The account is offering to "send 25 people $20-$30 $SOL" and asking users to "drop your addresses below." This is a common tactic to collect cryptocurrency addresses for potential scams or to create a false sense of generosity
  • Giveaway scam: The account states, "I’ll send 25 people $20-$30 $SOL, drop your addresses below. Research $KAS 💚" and later again, "Sending some $SOL so you can buy $KAS Drop it". This is a clear giveaway scam combined with pushing a specific coin
  • Unsolicited crypto sending offer: The explicit offer to send crypto to users, asking for their addresses, is a classic giveaway scam technique. The claim to have been "down on my leverage trade when I started airdropping y’all, just checked and now I’m up" attempts to rationalize the giveaway while also promoting trading
Weaker signals
  • High bot_likelihood score due to the nature of giveaway scams which often attract bot engagement

Investigation log

  1. 6/9/2026Likely scam · risk 75/100

    Handle is one character away from a known blacklisted scam: @OfficalTravlad (X). Typo-squatting is the #1 impersonation tactic — double-check the spelling matches the real account

  5. 6/9/2026Caution · risk 25/100

    Handle is one character away from a known blacklisted scam: @OfficalTravlad (X). Typo-squatting is the #1 impersonation tactic — double-check the spelling matches the real account

Pattern: Giveaway / coin-doubling scam

A post promises free tokens, a prize draw, or that any crypto you send will come back multiplied. Entry requires reposting and dropping your wallet address in the replies. The address harvest is the real product: it feeds later dusting, phishing and targeted approaches, and anyone who actually sends funds never sees them again.

How to recognise it
  • "Send X, get 2X back" — no legitimate exchange has ever run this
  • Asks you to post your wallet address publicly
  • A countdown or a "only 5 winners" scarcity hook
  • Replies are filled with fake winners posting thanks

Sources and method

  • GACS social scanner

    Our scanner reads the public profile and recent posts, scores the behavioural signals, and re-checks the account on a schedule so a listing reflects current behaviour, not a single moment.

  • Primary observation

    The page or profile this listing was created from.

  • 622 community reports

    Independent submissions from people who ran into this. Reports are matched on the identifier, not the name, so renaming does not reset the count.

First observed 6/9/2026, re-checked 5 times since. Each re-check re-reads the live profile or page rather than trusting the earlier verdict. If you believe this listing is wrong, you can appeal it and we will re-check the evidence.

Case study

@OfficalTravlad (X): what the reports show and how the scam works

Compiled from GACS registry data and community reports. Reviewed by Nicholas Alexander (RSE, SO, PMP) and the GACS Research Team · Published 9/17/2026

How this scam works

Social-account fraud: the account copies a real person or brand, builds credibility with followers and replies, then moves targets into direct messages where the ask is made.

What the reports say

622 reports submitted to GACS are attached to this entry. The GACS social scanner reviewed this account and rated it high risk. What the scan found: Giveaway scam: The account is offering to "send 25 people $20-$30 $SOL" and asking users to "drop your addresses below." This is a common tactic to collect cryptocurrency addresses for potential scams or to create a false sense of generosity.; Giveaway scam: The account states, "I’ll send 25 people $20-$30 $SOL, drop your addresses bel… Reporter identities are never published.

Timeline and infrastructure

GACS first recorded this entry on June 9, 2026. The most recent report or check was on June 22, 2026.

Red flags in this case

  • A handle that is one character off the real one, or reuses a verified person's name and photo.
  • The conversation is moved to WhatsApp, Telegram or DM almost immediately.
  • Replies and followers that are mostly other new accounts posting the same praise.
  • The same operation has appeared under 2 different names, which is how it survives takedowns.

What to do if you were caught by this

  1. Contact your bank or card issuer straight away and ask them to stop, recall or charge back the payment.
  2. Keep every message, receipt, screenshot and address before you block anyone — this is the evidence any investigation needs.
  3. Report it to your national fraud authority. In the United States that is the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov and the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov.
  4. Ignore anyone who contacts you offering to recover the money for a fee. Recovery fraud is the standard follow-up to this pattern.
