This morning I received 0.000131 XRP to my Exodus wallet. I was never expecting this transaction so I was thinking it was some kind of staking award. I clicked the transaction details and got to this page.

In the memo it mentions the following
"Starting February 1st, 2020, Ripple is releasing 3 Billion XRP to incentivise network users. Get 25% more XRP added to your account balance in just minutes. https://www.getripple.org"
Warning. DO NOT CLICK ON THE GETRIPPLE LINK. It forwards to rjpple.com and it looks to be a honeypot! When I copied from the address bar and pasted into WHOIS I got this XN--RPPLE-B4A . COM
I have emailed the registrar for both.
Since my address is on the public ledger it doesn't take much for someone to skim it and send me XRP.
To the jerk trying to steal my money, THANKS FOR THE FREE XRP!
Please comment below if you have received a random deposit.
Going through my transaction history I found another small deposit.
