Pi Network Scam Alerts: How to Protect Your Pi Coins

On February 20, 2025, the Pi Network officially launched with 10 million real users. This was a big moment for the project, showing its strong growth and bright future. The Pi community is excited and celebrating this achievement.

But with success comes problems. Scammers are now everywhere on social media like Facebook, Telegram, and WhatsApp. They are also using different websites to trick people and steal their Pi coins. These fraudsters use clever tricks to make pioneers give away their coins, which can harm the network.

In this blog, I will show real examples of these scams and explain how they work. Most importantly, I will teach you how to spot and avoid these scams so you can keep your Pi coins safe.

Scammers and hackers are trying to steal Pi coins by running paid ads on social media like Facebook, raddit Telegram, and WhatsApp. They create attractive ads with phrases like “Win Free Pi!“ or “Get Thousands of Pi Instantly!” to trick people. When users click these ads, they are taken to fake websites that look like the real Pi Network. These sites ask for login details like email, password, or security phrase. If users enter this information, scammers can take full control of their accounts.

Another trick is promoting fake Pi Wallets or apps that claim to offer extra features or faster transactions. If users download these apps, scammers can steal their private keys and Pi coins. Some fraudsters also pretend to be Pi Network support agents and ask for the 24-word security phrase. Remember, sharing your security phrase with anyone is very dangerous.

After posting these paid ads, scammers also buy fake likes and comments to make their scams look real. They use fake accounts to praise the offer, saying they received free Pi coins. When real users see so many likes and positive comments, they start believing the scam. Their greed makes them trust these fake promotions, and they end up getting scammed.

When you click on these fake links, you are taken to a fake Pi Network login page that looks almost exactly like the real one. Many users, thinking it is genuine, enter their Pi passphrase to log in or verify their account. But the moment they do this, hackers gain full access to their Pi account.

If the Pi wallet is unlocked, scammers quickly transfer all the Pi coins to their own accounts, leaving the victim with nothing. By the time users realize they have been scammed, it is too late, and recovering stolen Pi is almost impossible.

To stay safe from this scam, never enter your Pi passphrase on any third-party website or suspicious link, no matter how real it looks. Always use the official Pi app or website and double-check the URL before entering any important information.

If you think your passphrase has been stolen, change your account details immediately and report the scam to the Pi Network community. The best way to protect your Pi coins is to stay alert and cautious against fraudsters.
