The official Palworld account has had to make it clear that they don’t have anything to do with NFTs after impersonators begin trying to trick fans of the game.
According to an official post from the game’s X (formerly Twitter) page, the PocketPair is considering legal action against impersonators trying to sell NFTs while impersonating them.

These fake impersonator accounts are even going the extra mile with gold verified badges (which cost $1000 a month) to give them an extra layer of authenticity.
One of these impersonators got community noted and immediately reverted their account back to their generic scamming, pushing nondescript NFT platforms and other shady crypto sites.
