Here are some few points :
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.
I hope newbies will take note of this and not fall for any of those scams, you can add yours below, if you like  :).

Asking ETH for gas fee was one of the common tactics used when I was active in hunting airdrops. I believe some scammers still do the same.

scam airdrop doesnt neccesary mean your information is in danger , a scam airdrop can use you to spread their project/ coin but at the end they wont pay you and its hard to identify an airdrop if scam or not , you just need to try your luck .

This is very good Question, Becouse we know that, on this time daily many Fake airdrop is Launch on Crypto market.  And many new Airdroper also waste their time on this Fake airdrop.  So as my opinion, before joining any airdrop programme, you can check their Social Account,  Website,  Whitepaper etc.

One of the things you need to know to identify a scam airdrop is that the airdrop is done by a bot and if you are asked to withdraw a token with a draw fee, then it is most likely a scam.

Yes, all you wrote is true. As an ICO project ourselves, we did and Airdrop a while ago when we launched but took into consideration every little detail about it. We didn't ask for personal data or things related to this, only a few tasks that everyone can do. Everyone saw that er are a legit project, through our website, whitepaper, and the people that invested in our Token, so the airdrop was perfect for all.

Yes, this should be a main topic for people new to this world. As an ICO ourselves, we want to confirm that these are really important, as is someone asks you for something like that, don't trust it.
