Hey guys, i was just scrolling through Twitter a few days ago, then i found an airdrop it looked quite promising, so i decided to give it a try, i fulfilled all the airdrop requirements, and was waiting patiently for the airdrop distribution which was supposed to take place yesterday, on reaching yesterday, I went on telegram to see how well the project is growing and because they promised to list on uniswap that same yesterday, when I got to their telegram channel, i started seeing something fishy, like they told us to fill another form for a giveaway, when I clicked the link to the form, the requirements ??? On the Google form is something else, they were asking for our trust wallet Recovery phrase.
Here's a screenshot of the form:
1. https://postimg.cc/zHw1P9Cg
2. https://postimg.cc/cKzR7s9N
Their telegram channel had 12k+ subscribers : https://postimg.cc/t1rj2cWb
Those are the screenshots of the Google form, immediately I saw the recovery phrase, it was clear that it was a scam, it seems like everyday scammers keep bring new ideas and ways to exploit and steal crypto from people, we should be really careful and guide our crypto well, and try not to fall for for scams like this :(.
-
Nowadays, there are more and more ways that scammers can cheat. And this teaches us to be wiser and more careful in choosing projects. The more crowded this forum, of course, makes more scams occur.
-
some people are just insane to deceive their fellow just to get money from their victim. kudos to you mate! for knowing it and avoid such mess. we just be very careful nowadays that CRYPTO is making its move again in the marketplace.
-
I stopped participating on airdrop since they no longer have value and most of the time, they don't pay, you can participate on legit ones from Airdrop detectives.
You have to be careful when some project offer airdrop, there are many of them in this space with scam tactics, they knew airdrop members don't really have knowledge about cryptocurrency that's why they used this tactics to fraud and prey on innocent people.
By the way, why don't you just try Bounty, they are more profitable than airdrop though it will require a little of your time.
-
Asking a recovery phrase or a seed it's obviously a scam. We really should careful when joining airdrop and also we should not submit a KYC for just airdrop only, it's not worthy.
-
The reason for the new style crypto scandal is that as the demand for crypto grows, so does the number of scams. Also, many people come to crypto out of greed and are forced to scam later and later without knowing anything. It is better to stay away from these victims.
-
Enticing people to share their private keys is as old as many ICOs in 2017, and I am really puzzled because there are still some people who can be victimized with this scam technique. I am so sure that they are victimizing new people into cryptocurrency as those of us who are already here since 2016 or 2017 know what they are doing. I am hoping that people will really be educated never ever to share their private or recovery phrase as that means losing control over one's account or wallet. Maybe we should suggest to wallet platforms to make a big emphasis this thing when someone is opening an account in their platforms...they should be the one educating their users.
-
There are a lot of airdrop scams in my opinion, there are various ways they cheat, from asking for prhase to sending eth, trx, doge on the grounds of a fee, one friend said if one airdrop asks for a fee leave them it ,cos they are must be a scam project,
-
Thanks for sharing your experience. Since the uniswap airdrop, many scammers have taken advantage of the situation to organize fake airdrops. We just need to be cautious of the kind of airdrops we participate in. There are equally good and genuine opportunities to earn passively with the little funds one has, personally I earn a good APR up to 23% by staking $AWC on my desktop wallet from atomicwallet.io
-
Crypto space is full of scam, that is why wemust be careful at all time. We should not open any link that we are not so sure about because it can be very dangerous especially if we are having our wallet on the device we are trying to open the link on. Scammers are everywhere and they are not resting, always s looking for a new way to take away people's assets. Don't give your wallet phrase to anybody irrespective of who the person is.
-
In my experience i see 99% airdops are conducted by the scammers for this reason i am not interest to join any new airdop. It is just start for increasing social media followers other wise nothing and some airdop asking to fill-up kyc form. So i suggest that to avoid airdop especially those are required kyc.
-
We really have to be careful in following Airdrop at this time, because they are good at trapping us so we don't realize we have provided our personal information. So that they can easily drain our assets, in this Cryptocurrency there are indeed tremendous scammers and have various ways to steal our assets. And again we don't like opening links that are usually sent to us via Email, that's also very dangerous.
-
That was obviously a scam attempt mate, You were lucky that you notice it early and not falling under the spill of the $35K reward as a bait prize, I hope that there will be no single airdrop hunters was fell for that trap, in that fake Leo Finance airdrop next time don't just easily join to any airdrops just make some confirmation first preferably ask the in their Telegram Group.
-
Of course it's a scam, you need to be careful if you want to join airdrop especially if it's offer you big cash. Airdrop is free so i give you some tips here : Don't give your private key, don't pay anything, and do research before join.
-

Thats the way it has always been, there will always be the good guys and the bad guys, there will always be people who want to bend the law and vice versa, it's just humans doing their thing,hope you know there are also scammers who steal the traditional fiat, so they are just everywhere, they don't want to work for their own money, they prefer to steal, "reap from where they didn't sow".
-
This is not really new in this crypto space, there are a lot of scammers that want to hack into unsuspecting and gullible airdropers wallet. There are so many scam projects especially in this Defi era claiming to list immediately on Uniswap but request for personal details of participants.
-
This type of scam has been around since the early days of crypto wallets, I I also doubt exchanges that required users' private keys.
Participating in the Bounty or Airdrop is your own decision, but never hand over your wallet's private key/seed phase/password to others. It's the fastest way to lose all of your wallet's assets :)

Yes sir you are right because hacking is the most important and common features in cryptocurrency market. Now a days hackers and hacking creates an impact on cryptocurrency exchange. Bounty sacms, hacks investors funds, just concern of worries that destroy any cryptocurrency market and exchange. A few days ago kucoin centralized exchange hacked over $280 million worth of assets. It just makes kucoin more uncomfortable and unfavourable among the investors.
-
Crypto scams not a common problem in our cryptocurrency market cap. It was before, now and still will have in future. Some projects running ieo on exchange but after collecting funds from the investors the flewed away from the exchange. I already victimed such kind of projects, Cindex a scammed project which already completed ieo on bitforex but a scam project. King(casino) scam project run ieo on Latoken, p2pb2b and other.
-
Infact there are many scammers around and when we talk about airdrops there are many fake ones who are infact try to steal your data to hack your wallet or use your data to claim rewards from other campaigns.
So do not be greedy and be watchful all the time online.
-
...On the Google form is something else, they were asking for our trust wallet Recovery phrase.
This is exactly a scam.
A scam will always ask you several things that are very annoying and also important details, such as:
1. Asking for the important and crucial details like private key, PIN, Password, recovery phrase, and others.
2. Asking you to deposit funds in order to withdraw.
After you deposit it, they will be gone.
3. Promising for high profits
It is like when they do a scam investment, they promise us big profits that will really attract many people, especially the newbies.
4. Giving big rewards
It also happens on the scam that they run ta program and the participants will get very high rewards by doing easy tasks.
If you meet at least those 4, it is better to leave it, because it is commonly and mostly a scam.

By the way, why don't you just try Bounty, they are more profitable than airdrop though it will require a little of your time.
I might give them a try, but I no longer trust airdrops, only a few of them eventually pays their bounty hunters, and I have came across a few airdrops where they said the members of the group should send a particular amount of Eth to a wallet for them to get verified, their excuse is that they don't want cheating, I just left there immediately I saw that message, airdrop is a shadow of its self now since scammers came on board.
There are a lot of airdrop scams in my opinion, there are various ways they cheat, from asking for prhase to sending eth, trx, doge on the grounds of a fee, one friend said if one airdrop asks for a fee leave them it ,cos they are must be a scam project,
Your friend is right, any airdrop team that asks for a small amount of money in exchange for their token is a scam.
There are equally good and genuine opportunities to earn passively with the little funds one has, personally I earn a good APR up to 23% by staking $AWC on my desktop wallet from atomicwallet.io
Wow, that's great, I will do a little research about this, but thanks for informing me :D.
-
Scams can happen in all styles of crypto projects. It is not about new style or old style, we must be careful on both styles. Especially about the promotion of the project in social media, there are too many scammers there. So, be careful and always do deep research before deciding something.
-
Thanks for awesome information sharing
-
So it asks your privace detail? Plese ignore it because it is totaly a scam.
Be careful when oining certain programs, airdrops, and also investment that require those such crucial things. They will take your phrase and no one nows what will happen next. That is why it is better to ignore the program and focus on the other programs again
-
There many style of scam, right? You just know about it, we don't know if the style already used by scammers for a long time. Indeed, the information you wrote is very useful, now we must be more careful to double check every crypto promotion. I think crypto scam is the issues to happen for years, it is not a new issue.
-
Accuracy is needed in the crypto world, especially if you have to fill out a google form. In the current DeFi era there will be many projects that give airdrops to the public but more than 75% are scams, always be alert and once again have to be more careful.
-
There are many Twitter accounts have 100k flowers sometimes they offer to share and retweet the post and they give coins or some air drops but when complete their all recomendation then they are not response. This is the one kind of scamer that i introduced but there are many in trade market
-
new style in crypto for fraud, I don't know what in their minds with the intention of cheating, if only to pursue money alone it would be short thought they want a lot of money without hard work, thank you for the info you have provided
-
there are many ways and many steps to be able to scam many projects that currently scams only require skills from managing websites and telegrams, while for a whitepaper you can combine various kinds of successful projects it will be easy to lure investors into.
-
That was obviously a scam attempt mate, You were lucky that you notice it early and not falling under the spill of the $35K reward as a bait prize, I hope that there will be no single airdrop hunters was fell for that trap, in that fake Leo Finance airdrop next time don't just easily join to any airdrops just make some confirmation first preferably ask the in their Telegram Group.
I hope no one fell for that tho,about an hour after they posted their address, I checked it on Etherscan to see if any airdropper fell for the trick, but I didn't see any transaction on that address so it seems like they didn't get anyone, I guess that's the reason why they posted another scam post claiming that they want to verify the airdroppers to avoid cheating, they say each airdropper should send 1eth to an address, then they are going to confirm and send the airdropper 5 eth plus the 1eth they sent, that makes it a total of 6,immediately I left the channel, scammers are never going to get tired of stealing I guess.
-
Nowadays scammers are cheating in different ways. So you have to be more careful in choosing the project. Some cut in the middle of the bounty project, financing the investors, not paying the hunters.
Many do not pay investors and hunters after the project is successful, they give tokens to the neck but the scammers are cheating in various ways that are no longer listed. So investors and bounty hunters need to pick projects more carefully.

Nice points, I think you can make a topic on how to identify fake airdrops with these few points you listed, I bet it will be really helpful to newbies, so they can be able to identify fake airdrops when they see one and stay away from them.
Infact there are many scammers around and when we talk about airdrops there are many fake ones who are infact try to steal your data to hack your wallet or use your data to claim rewards from other campaigns.
So do not be greedy and be watchful all the time online.
Airdrops are now a shadow of itself, unlike back then, scammers tend to take advantage of anything in other exploit and loot money from people, we just have to be careful.
This type of scam has been around since the early days of crypto wallets, I I also doubt exchanges that required users' private keys.
Participating in the Bounty or Airdrop is your own decision, but never hand over your wallet's private key/seed phase/password to others. It's the fastest way to lose all of your wallet's assets :)
Haha, I'll never do such,thanks alot for the advice, will just stay away from any airdrop that looks suspicious.
-
Participating on bounty campaign is risky, joining on airdrops is riskier. There are campaigns that also looks promising but a little while turn to scam. So in airdrops there is more possibilities of scam projects that you are promoting and inviting your friends there. Be careful to join.

Yeah, your right, I guess nothing is 100% after all, anything can just turn to a scam in no time, airdrops nowadays are filled with scam here and there, I've given up on it, since it no longer prove to be trustworthy anymore, will focus on bounty for now, but I will be really careful when joining any.

therefore you have to be careful if you want to participate in the airdrop, many are scams and make you waste time.
-
Though they keep on evolving just to continue to scam the people the sign of their fishy thing can't be hidden and so even newbies with full awareness will surely recognize it.
-
Some projects never identified as scam before but they already launched several exchange like clipx and kingcasino888 but after collecting huge amounts of funds they runaway from market...
-
This is ridiculous and stupid i must say. These are lazy scammers and i think newbies shouldn't even fall for such scam. You aren't suppose to give anybody your recovery phrase/ private key etc. That is even stronger than password. Some scam are too obvious and i hope people are reporting the channel and twitter profile.
-
If you want to be aware that when a project is paired with AirDrop, there are a lot of scammers in this place with tactics, they know that Airdrop members are not aware of cryptocurrency. This is not the first time that I've seen this kind of thing happen, but it's the first time I've seen it happen.
-
fraud by using airdrop is often the case and to make the participants so that they believe to trade and investment airdrop just an appeal to make them believe and want to do an investment in large amounts if the money already collected then they would go and carry off the money of investors.
-
Don't trust anyone very easily on the internet. Especially with your assets, because there are many ways that scammers can get assets from your digital wallet.
-
As a forum advances, I think there will be more challenges. For example, there are many scams. This makes us more careful and conscientious. In choosing a project before participating in a bounty or investment.
-
Scammers way is so deceptive that the subject couldn't determine at the first glance. They can manage to scape from one scam project into another depends on the market trend. It is always recommendable to study first before you partake.
-
Funny. To be honest, I do not think that there are still people who can fall for such a catch of scammers. This is not even a new method, but a stupid way and everyone will understand that this is a Scam. Scammers can't come up with anything new.
-

Agreed, scammers are always looking for new ways to deceive people, and they are always updated with what's trending, like in the time of ICOs there were there still money from investors who were eager to make quick profit without reaching on the projects, I know alot of people who lost some huge amount of to scammers back then, we should just be careful when participating in anything, be it crypto or not scammers are everywhere,we should always tread carefully.
-
It is very concerning for us. Scammers are changing their scamming styles. They have realized that people are now very conscious. But is a matter of sorrow that many investors have lost their fund under the trap of these scammers. That' why many investors afraid to join in the new project. So we should be always alert against them should share if we can know about any scamming.

I think scammers don't always rely on one scamming strategy, they keep changing the format, so that they can be able to loot money from investors, and they have given crypto a bad name, i believe that's the reason why new projects rarely raise good amount these days, investors are scared of getting scammed.
-
I think scammers don't always rely on one scamming strategy, they keep changing the format,
Scammers usually use many ways to trick investors and even follow trends that are happening, such as the DeFi hype is used to get big profits
-
The more enthusiasts who join the forum, the more good projects that are promoted through this forum. So it's no wonder that more and more traps exist. More and more mischievous people want to get other people trapped. In the hope that people will get tired of being in forums. then we ourselves have to be more careful.
-
This format is not new, it's been deployed since the hay days of ICOs. And unfortunately, many people have fallen for it only for these heartless scammers to wipe off the digital assets from the victim's wallet. Once I see a project asking for users to send some small ETH or BNB or private keys, those are confirmations of scams.
I avoid them like plague.
-
Everything when the projects and the tasks are suspicious, it may be scams. Moreover, you need to deposit it, need to do KYC in their platform but the projects are not clear. No team information clearly stated and also its community. if you are in this case and you do not feel right about it. better to leave although they promise very high rewards
-
Be careful with airdrops, many scam projects take advantage of airdrops to scam people. As we know that people are interested to do something easy to gain money. The scammers know it ad they tried to fool people. Moreover, many people usually follow hypes, so it is a high chance for new scams to appear.

Airdrops and bounty campaigns are usually scam occurring and it is indeed very difficult to determine whether a project is a scam or not, but what is clear is that you should be able to act normally because it is commonplace that scams often occur.
-
There are many scam not ony that, there are task to be done but in the end you got nothing.
Some are just want you in their discord, twitter and telegram for future purposes, "potential scam"
-

Many projects scam we cannot guarantee to assure but finally it turns to be scam.

I think maybe that's the reason for that "follow us on Twitter" task, so that they can use it for future scam purposes, the crypto sphere ain't safe after all, any newbie without proper guidance will just fall into the hands of this scammers.

There will always be victims, atleast 1 or 2 persons are always caught in the web, any project asking for seed phrase or private keys is definitely a red flag for me. 🚩
-
Yes, I also saw a couple of such airdrops, where when filling out the google form it was required to enter the seed phrase from your wallet ?! I immediately bypass these frank scammers. This is just a scam of pure water, and is designed for people who are too trusting and inexperienced in cryptocurrencies, who in the literal sense of the word will give the scammers all their funds that are there. It is necessary to warn those who do not understand that they should never enter their password or secret phrase under any circumstances, otherwise you will give them all the funds!!!
-
Common man. This is an old ways of scammers and I believe such thing can find hard time to scam the community even to newbies except to those who are just want to earn a penny and disregarding tips and warning about the ways of the scammers.
-
The scammer are more clever day by day than the treaders and the investors .The scammer are always advanced technically but how we protect them ? Sometimes I think, is it possible if the scammer want scam every upcoming project ? I know it is not possible but when new project include in crypto currency the question comes in mind . The scammer try to scam in different style but we will concern about this inconvenience for safe invest and profit.
-
Unfortunately with the advent of market DEFI came on the market a lot of scams, cases that users don't care losing a lot of money, nothing to do, because there is where the big money will be a lot of scams, you need to be very careful and to respect the personal safety of their wallets.
-
Be careful with airdrops, many scam projects take advantage of airdrops to scam people.
You are right. Many airdrops are scams, so we must be more careful and do deep analysis before joining. Personally, I rarely join airdrop because of many scam cases on airdrops and the number of rewards isn't quite good. I think it is better to join another one like bounty or a program with a better number of rewards. But it doesn't mean all airdrops are worthless, there are still some airdrop which are quite well.
-
This is not new in cryptocurrency, there are many scammers who want to hack into irrelevant and faulty aerodromes wallets. Especially in this definitional era, there are many scam plans that claim that he immediately lists them on but requests the personal details of the participants. you need to be very careful about that.
-
Scammers are everywhere, throughout history of mankind. They will always come up with new tricks, to get advantage of people. If you are told that you will "make money fast", the is the biggest red flag. Just stay away.
-
When someone asks for a memo phrase, seed, or private key, I guarantee that 10000% of the project is a scam and doesn't need to be discussed again. And I think this is the most stupid way to deceive crypto users who are now average smart. ;D
-
-
haha LOL.
That's right guys because it's something really weird for a project from cryptocurrency.
The name Private Key is very vital for sending coins and if we don't save it wisely, our coins can just disappear.
Even when we follow the bounty, when we are asked to input our email address, we are very reluctant to input, because then our email addresses can be traded.
-
Be careful of airdrops on Twitter and also other social media in which the reward of the airdrops are very high. They commonly can give the airdrop with very high regard and simple ways likely by following such as that new account. SO, be careful with going to going it, You may not underbsatn.
-
Since year 2017 I have participated in different crypto airdrop I think over 200 crypto airdrp but surprisingly I have not received any legit airdrop that's to show you that many of this airdrop are just scam because this left me thinking why the team of such project don't list on crypto forum this is to tell you that you need to be smart enough not to fall a victim of such airdrop.

Agree with you. Maybe he's just a beginner. Anyone who is experienced already knows what it is worth to participate in an airdrop or bounty company, since an experienced person has already been burned many times and has drawn conclusions for himself.
-
Fraudsters regularly get confused to steal cryptocurrency from its owners, you need to be extremely careful and secure yourself as much as possible, you cannot give anyone your passwords and seed phrases from wallets
-
Mostly newbies get to fraudulent projects, and newbies interested in crypto projects appear every day. Before doing something, people need to first study that new area for them in which they want to invest or work in it. As the saying goes "Everything is in your hands".
-
Thank you for sharing your experience, as a whole, an airdrop asking you to send gas fees and asking for a phrase / private key from our wallet will result in us losing some of the assets we have because they were stolen by scammers who tried to do the fraud.
After the ICO scam in 2018 and until now it turns out that there are still many scammers who do this.
Therefore, when I want to get the best airdrop, I will do research.
-
The ideas of these scammers are indeed extraordinary. There is something they can do to trap everyone and investors. and of course this should make us more alert lest we get caught.
-
There are so many new scam projects, this seems ona of them. I left airdrops 2 years ago, they give nothing and totally saate of time.
-
Hey guys, i was just scrolling through Twitter a few days ago, then i found an airdrop it looked quite promising, so i decided to give it a try, i fulfilled all the airdrop requirements, and was waiting patiently for the airdrop distribution which was supposed to take place yesterday, on reaching yesterday, I went on telegram to see how well the project is growing and because they promised to list on uniswap that same yesterday, when I got to their telegram channel, i started seeing something fishy, like they told us to fill another form for a giveaway, when I clicked the link to the form, the requirements ??? On the Google form is something else, they were asking for our trust wallet Recovery phrase.
Here's a screenshot of the form:
1. https://postimg.cc/zHw1P9Cg
2. https://postimg.cc/cKzR7s9N
Their telegram channel had 12k+ subscribers : https://postimg.cc/t1rj2cWb
Those are the screenshots of the Google form, immediately I saw the recovery phrase, it was clear that it was a scam, it seems like everyday scammers keep bring new ideas and ways to exploit and steal crypto from people, we should be really careful and guide our crypto well, and try not to fall for for scams like this :(.
I'm glad that you didn't fall into that trap dude, nowadays it is really dangerous to join any airdrops program.
Only a few of them remain good and the last legit airdrops that I saw in which is legit was Uniswap of course and a lot of those who joined are well compensated in the end.
-
That is a very old technique nothing new but I think it's too old that anyone who even made a single deal in crypto would not fall for it. Now everyone knows privet key, recovery phrase these are some information that is not meant to be shared with others. But we should be careful because they are using the more smart techniques to scamming people.
-
We must be careful with the Crypto assets that we have, also we must be careful with our money that we will invest in Cryptocurrency. The reason is that currently there are so many scammers who seek profit by tricking people, be it via Airdrop or others. Stay alert and don't easily trust other people!
-
In fact, cheater butchers are everywhere, but the number of cheater butchers in crypto is high, they are adopting new fraudulent tactics day by day. The rate of scams in cryptocurrency project airdrops is very high. I have participated in many Airdrop in the past but have not received 99% of it; So now I can only say that I do not participate in Airdrop. Apart from this, even after being successful in some bounty projects, the benefactors are not working hard by cheating in various ways like I have been deprived in the Digitalbeats project myself. In addition to this, many projects are asking for money in various currencies in the name of giving tokens, which was not in the condition of the project; Which can be called a kind of scandal.
-
More rigorous monitoring should be done to identify the scams. There are a lot of scams now. As a result, users participating in giveaway or airdrop do not get their desired results. So I think users should be aware of these. There will be constant scamming about new projects in the market.
-
If I see a screenshot of your post, you can be sure it's a scam.
For beginners who are new to crypto, I think this is an experience to be learned and there is no fraud that can harm many people.There are still a lot of scams out there because scammers see a gap to commit fraud via telegram and social media

Hey guys, i was just scrolling through Twitter a few days ago, then i found an airdrop it looked quite promising, so i decided to give it a try, i fulfilled all the airdrop requirements, and was waiting patiently for the airdrop distribution which was supposed to take place yesterday, on reaching yesterday, I went on telegram to see how well the project is growing and because they promised to list on uniswap that same yesterday, when I got to their telegram channel, i started seeing something fishy, like they told us to fill another form for a giveaway, when I clicked the link to the form, the requirements ??? On the Google form is something else, they were asking for our trust wallet Recovery phrase.
Here's a screenshot of the form:

Their telegram channel had 12k+ subscribers : https://postimg.cc/t1rj2cWb
Those are the screenshots of the Google form, immediately I saw the recovery phrase, it was clear that it was a scam, it seems like everyday scammers keep bring new ideas and ways to exploit and steal crypto from people, we should be really careful and guide our crypto well, and try not to fall for for scams like this :(.
Every new person to the Crypto not all of them but some of them are daily participating in new airdrop and bounty, some of them are legit, like one Scam like this can steal all of their Hard earned money.
We should think that a experienced person like you Identified this Scam and posted Here but how many participants should have gave them thier Seed Phrase😔

This kind of scams are in market these days.
One of the project i know they are running fake airdrop or trust token and when for claim i open the airdrop form they asking for wallet recovery phrase. I just say when you are joining any airdrop search about their team and project.
-
In my experience i see 99% airdops are conducted by the scammers for this reason i am not interest to join any new airdop. It is just start for increasing social media followers other wise nothing and some airdop asking to fill-up kyc form. So i suggest that to avoid airdop especially those are required kyc.
I stopped taking part in various airdrops a long time ago, as fraud prevails there. I try to participate in bounty campaigns, which are conducted by a bounty detective. It is more reliable and I almost always get earned tokens.
If we are asked to provide the data of our private keys of wallets, then there can be no doubt that this is a fraud. Scammers have been using such methods for a long time. This is for inexperienced participants.

This is crypto currency and there is no analog locker. So your safely is your hand where only digital locker is your password and your private key. If it is share or flash or stolen then definitely your assets will be stolen also. Scammer are very active they 24 hours try to steal some ones assets by new techniques.
-
The purpose behind the new style crypto outrage is that as the interest for crypto develops, so does the quantity of tricks. Likewise, numerous individuals come to crypto out of voracity and are compelled to trick later and later without knowing anything. It is smarter to avoid these casualties.

As long as humanity exists, so much fraud exists. Everywhere in those places where there are opportunities to earn money for an honest person, scammers are looking for different ways to make money. The cryptocurrency market is no exception, and one way or another, we will have to come to terms with it.
-
This is nothing new. Everything new is well forgotten old only in a new interpretation. Scammers use various schemes, but they almost always boil down to tricking you out of your recovery phrase or private key.
-
The more users try to protect their money and personal information, the more fraudulent methods are invented by cybercriminals. Of course, the request for a key or phrase is a method known to everyone, but not experienced users come across it. you need to be as careful as possible, this also applies to the various applications that we install on our computers, smartphones

Crypto space is loaded with trick, that is the reason wemust be cautious at record-breaking. We ought not open any connection that we are not entirely certain about in light of the fact that it tends to be extremely perilous particularly on the off chance that we are having our wallet on the gadget we are attempting to open the connection on. Con artists are all over and they are not resting, consistently s searching for another approach to remove individuals' resources. Try not to give your wallet expression to anyone independent of who the individual is.
-
That's for sure, there are a myriad of scammers in this world who just want to get your hard-earned money, especially in the world of cryptocurrency technologies. Here you must always be on the alert. Very often now viruses fly into the computer, which settle in browsers and download passwords.

There are so many airdrops right now flooding the crypto space fake, scam and I suggest if you are not sure if that is legit or fake airdrops you can use new created wallet so that you can easily transfer it to your main if ever its real but if scam even they get the recovery no any tokens will be collected from you since its a new wallet and no any token stored.

Alluring individuals to share their private keys is as old the same number of ICOs in 2017, and I am truly perplexed on the grounds that there are still a few people who can be defrauded with this trick method. I am certain to such an extent that they are misleading new individuals into cryptographic money as those of us who are as of now here since 2016 or 2017 understand what they are doing. I am trusting that individuals will truly be taught never at any point to share their private or recuperation express as that implies losing authority over one's record or wallet. Perhaps we ought to propose to wallet stages to make a major accentuation this thing when somebody is opening a record in their platforms...they should be the one teaching their clients.

A new wallet? Nah its definitely a scam airdrop trying to steal from noobs, any airdrop asking for fees to send the Free token or ask for the privat keys/seeds is a scam airdrops, because airdrops are free tokens gotten for a task completed,so there's no reason a project should ask the participants to send money for gas fees, it's best newbies stay away from airdrops like this, some could fall you know.

Airdrop scam won't be able to hack your wallet as long as you don't give your private key. So you don't have to create a new wallet, because if you often create new wallets it will only confuse you, and the bad risk is that you may accidentally throw away your private key because you think it is a temporary wallet private key.
-
Nowadays, there are more and more ways that scammers can cheat. And this teaches us to be wiser and more careful in choosing projects. The more crowded this forum, of course, makes more scams occur.
I agree with you. Scammers nowadays are somehow difficult to determine because they provide important details the same as the real project. We must be careful and not just joining and promoting the scam project. We must research the team and the location if possible.

Until we give up our private key ourselves, no one can hack our wallet. No one should ever own the key except ourselves, no matter what anyone says and no matter how persuasive.

This is a must, because, it is no good to "put all eggs in one basket". If anyone is asking for a private for an airdrop, never give it, as a receiving address, is enough, to send you the coins. When you are asked for private key, this is a HUGE red flag, that he is a scammer.

maybe what you say may have been a lot and could not be stopped because they were looking for profits from things that were not wise. Good advice does need to be made of what you said to create a new wallet to accommodate useless tokens from being mixed up. but can also use metamask to differentiate if it is necessary.

because indeed we cannot blame it because of the habitual factor of people wanting to put it in just one wallet to make it easier so that in the end many useless tokens are mixed and confusing. but as I said above that you can use metamask to sort them.
Of course, if someone asks for a private key, it is very certain that it is a fraud, because if this happens, everything in our wallet will be known and taken.

Scammers always busy in finding new ways for spam with other people , this way also one of them .
I also joined that airdop , because it's looking good from begining . But never try to share your phrase words with anyone , otherwise you will lost your fund .
-
Scams will always increase due to new projects that want fast cash without seeing anyone in the crypto space.
Your experience will make someone more careful in doing Airdrops and one thing I know, there are many new projects that will ask you to sync the wallet to the applications they have, this can also result in losing the tokens in our wallets if a new project intends to commit fraud to investors and other members who take part in the airdrop
-
actually it is no longer a new way because in 2017 I saw a lot of airdrops using this method, what everyone only needs to remember is to avoid airdrops like that because it's 10000% scam

This is the key that the project is a scam, with the high subscribers, they may convince many people to be deceived. Whereas they are scammers that only focus on collecting money from their victims. In this case, it is better to not join this kind of project, moreover, it requires the very important data of ours.
-
It's a scam that often happens and I've come across several airdrop in 2020. Airdrop or Bounty only need to fill in the wallet address and some data such as social media profiles
-
some people are just insane to deceive their fellow just to get money from their victim. kudos to you mate! for knowing it and avoid such mess. we just be very careful nowadays that CRYPTO is making its move again in the marketplace.
Thats the way it has always been, there will always be the good guys and the bad guys, there will always be people who want to bend the law and vice versa, it's just humans doing their thing,hope you know there are also scammers who steal the traditional fiat, so they are just everywhere, they don't want to work for their own money, they prefer to steal, "reap from where they didn't sow".
In short, if it is Good and Evil, in the crypto space there are investors, there is a scammer for sure.
If there is an exchange site platform, there is also a hacker as well. If it is good, there is also a cheater, just as simple as that. isn't that right?

I also agree that you should not even spend time creating a new wallet. But some are so intoxicated with fantasy that they are ready to do it. Even though they know it's a scam. But they still take risks. This is stupid
-
Well, it is really clear, this type of scams are actually targeted at the newbies in crypto, the less knowledgeable crypto users who somehow don't actually know what or how important their wallet seed phrase is.
I won't be surprised if this scammers still are able to scam some the unsuspecting victims of the community they've been able to gather through their fake airdrop, a friend of mine lost thousands of dollars through this same strategy, people should be very careful with the kind of airdrop forms they fill most especially those that have to do with telegram cus 99.9 percent of all telegram airdrop are nothing but scams targeting crypto newbies and unsuspecting victims.
-
There are many scams and we need to be careful when investing or joining some airdrops, they will always do things that can drain our wallet.
Being vigilant is a good thing than we lose time and some crypto assets by putting wallet keys on the forms they send, the recent scam is, some new projects put a number of liquidity pools locked then a pre-sale takes place and takes some of the money from investors when they invest in pre-sales
