  If someone sends fake bitcoin to a blockchain wallet, the transaction will be recorded on the blockchain, but the fake bitcoin will not have any value. The recipient will not be able to use or spend the fake bitcoin, as it will not be recognized by the network. However, the transaction itself will still be visible on the blockchain, which could potentially raise suspicion or lead to further investigation.

The blockchain is a transparent and immutable ledger, meaning that all transactions are recorded and can be traced back. Therefore, the sender will not be able to get away with the scam, as the fake bitcoin will be easily identified and flagged as fraudulent.
