XRP A fake Xaman wallet page on the X platform attempts to trick XRP ledger users into participating in a so-called new governance proposal. The post asked users to view the proposal and vote, but Xaman Wallet founder Wietse Wind quickly identified the page as fraud and warned XRP holders. This incident highlights the importance of XRP ledger users checking official sources before interacting with governance-related posts.
Scam!- Wietse Wind-

Fake Xaman page promotes governance proposals
The fraudulent page claims that "a new governance proposal has landed on Xaman," encouraging users concerned about the ecosystem to review the so-called proposal and "share your position by voting." The message ends with a direct participation instruction. However, according to Wind, the post does not represent the real Xaman announcement.
Xaman founder Wietse Wind replied with a simple warning: "Scam!" His response directly denied the legitimacy of the page. This warns users not to participate in what is presented.
This warning is particularly important because fraudsters can use familiar cryptocurrency brand and ecosystem terminology to make fraudulent posts appear credible. Mentioning governance proposals may also encourage users to act quickly without independently verifying whether announcements come from official sources.
Xaman founder issued a direct warning
Wind responded when the fake page attempted to present itself as a legitimate Xaman-related source. His one-word warning made it clear that the page was not the real Xaman operation.
This incident also triggered a response from X user Oztinuh, who said that such fake accounts appear frequently. The user wrote: "These seem endless, and some even have gold checkmarks! I just reported it." This comment highlights another concern for cryptocurrency users. Verification logos on social media do not necessarily prove that an account represents the official organization it claims to be. Therefore, users should carefully check account details and confirm announcements through established official channels. [TAG
Urging users to verify Xaman announcement
This fake governance post demonstrates how scammers target the active cryptocurrency community by offering fake voting opportunities. A seemingly legitimate request to participate in a proposal can be especially dangerous if it directs users to an external website or requires a connection to a wallet.
Wind's warning provides the clearest lesson of this incident: Users should treat unexpected Xaman governance announcements with caution and verify their authenticity before taking any action. For XRP ledger users, checking the communication channels Xaman has established, rather than just relying on X posts, can help distinguish true announcements from fraudulent attempts. The incident also highlights the importance of never entering wallet credentials, recovering information, or signing transactions just because a social media account claims to represent Xaman.
