I dont think they can..and if so then this would be bad. But I never said his drop was bad. His was a good one, it just was stolen from me. I think you misunderstood me.

This is almost definitely a spoofed transaction. Anyone can initiate a transaction that looks to be coming from a source that it isn't. It's exploiting UI/UX on explorers and software wallets to make it look like it's coming from a legitimate source.

The ENS is not being faked. The scammers are routing a scam token to you through Vitalik's ENS using a specific airdrop function to make it look like it's coming from him. Look at this tx I received back in September. It's a scam token that appears to be coming from a Coinbase hot wallet when you look at it in Basescan, but in reality it's originating from a scammer's address (0x718e00241C0384A76d8926E1D6BbCE4421491646). It's a UI/UX flaw being exploited by scammers. https://basescan.org/tx/0xfd0f41adc21620f766f5acc9fcb4816c38e32e39871c5d76ab4686e6df1d2248
