Scam activity targeting XRP users appears to be increasing on X, prompting XRP Ledger validator Vet to issue a direct warning to the community.
Speaking on the platform, Vet said fraudulent accounts are now tagging users so frequently that his notification feed has become “completely unusable,” urging XRP holders to treat every unsolicited offer with extreme caution and avoid acting impulsively.
According to Vet, scammers are aggressively targeting members of the XRP community by repeatedly tagging them in fake giveaways and deceptive posts. He said his X notifications are flooded with scam tags every two minutes from multiple accounts, making it difficult to keep up with legitimate interactions on the platform.
The validator stressed that no one is giving away free XRP or other digital assets. He urged community members to remain skeptical of every unexpected offer, explaining that scammers rely on convincing users that they have discovered a genuine opportunity before attempting to steal their funds.
Scammers are actively targeting the XRP community in full force. My X notification tab is completely unusable due to the flood of tagging every 2min by 10 accounts.
Nobody is giving you anything for free.
I'm boiling inside when i see scammers tagging me or others, and then…

Vet expressed frustration at seeing community members engage with these fraudulent posts. He noted that some users continue asking whether the offers are real, despite the obvious warning signs.
He added that responding directly to scam posts creates another problem because it can increase their visibility through X’s engagement system, potentially exposing even more users to the fraudulent content.
Because of this, Vet encouraged XRP holders to adopt a cautious approach rather than reacting immediately to offers or messages that promise free tokens or rewards. His advice was simple: assume that anyone unexpectedly approaching you about your XRP may be attempting to take it and avoid taking action until the information has been independently verified.
He concluded his message by encouraging users to “sit on your hands” and do nothing when confronted with suspicious offers, emphasizing that patience is often the safest response when dealing with cryptocurrency-related promotions online.
The warning resonated with many users who replied to Vet’s post, describing similar experiences with scam-related notifications. Several commenters said they have been receiving frequent tags from suspicious accounts, with one user claiming they are tagged at least two or three times each day.

Another community member said the problem has become so severe that they have resorted to blocking scam accounts. Others reported receiving dozens of scam tags daily, illustrating how widespread the issue has become for active XRP users on X.
Not every response suggested the experience was universal. One verified user said they used to receive scam tags regularly but have noticed fewer of them recently, speculating that X may have improved its ability to hide or filter such content.
Another user without a verification badge said their notifications tend to slow down until they leave a meaningful comment on a popular account, after which scam tags begin appearing again.
Vet’s warning serves as a reminder that cryptocurrency scams continue to evolve alongside online communities. Other XRP community members, such as Digital Asset Investor, have also raised awareness about these scams.
