# Identifying Legitimate LANDs on OpenSea

Just like most other places in the online world, there are a fair share of shady and malicious individuals trying to mislead good, genuine people via secondary NFT markets. Below, we will share some advice to make sure the LAND you are viewing on OpenSea is genuine.

## **The search results page**

On the search results page, make sure that:

* There is a blue verified checkmark next to the collection name.
* The name of the collection is written correctly. For example, we are not called “Sandbox”, we are called "**The Sandbox**."
* The co-ordinates are written in the correct format and aren’t nonsensical.\
  Check these coordinates on [**The Sandbox Map**](https://www.sandbox.game/map).
* There is a snowflake icon indicating that the metadata is frozen, and therefore the LAND is stored on a decentralised server.

## **On the LAND’s listing page**

On the page of the LAND which gives further details about it:

* Make sure there is a blue verified checkmark at the top of the page. And that the collection name, **The Sandbox**, is written correctly.
* Click the three dots button ![](https://3927767952-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F61fllYo416R30LRxku4v%2Fuploads%2FTnazkyefr4bVC0CBaMHt%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=4b11dfa7-5867-4df3-afd5-50afca10653e) at the top-right corner of a LAND's OpenSea page, then click **View Website** ![](https://3927767952-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F61fllYo416R30LRxku4v%2Fuploads%2F5KXcp5kXAhBFPl1U5D3O%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=64ec1cc9-967a-4d7b-a2fb-b510a03bd527). If this LAND is genuine you should be taken to the Map on The Sandbox website where you will see the location of the LAND.
* Check the Data tab on the left of the page, the information should match that which is below, depending on which chain the LAND is on currently:

<table data-full-width="true"><thead><tr><th width="183">Chain</th><th width="454.3333333333333">Contract Address</th><th>Token Type</th><th data-hidden></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Ethereum (ETH)</td><td><a href="https://etherscan.io/address/0x5cc5b05a8a13e3fbdb0bb9fccd98d38e50f90c38">0x5CC5B05a8A13E3fBDB0BB9FcCd98D38e50F90c38</a></td><td>ERC-721</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Polygon (MATIC)</td><td><a href="https://polygonscan.com/address/0x9d305a42a3975ee4c1c57555bed5919889dce63f">0x9d305a42A3975Ee4c1C57555BeD5919889DCE63F</a></td><td>ERC-721</td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>
