My method is first, who is referring the airdrop form. Generally, the turd drops originate from a select group of ppl on a list that i keep track of and they usually originate from the Pacific Islanders and Africa (Nigeria mostly).
Next, i scroll directly to the bottom and see if there's a TX Hash donation. If it does, i check the message body of the sales pitch and if they dedicate over 1/3 of the msg body to donation, it's red flagged. If it's further confirmed by general lack of info including website, btt, new twitter account, turd pile it goes.
Lately, there's been an influx of airdrop forms using existing companies. None of them will solicit donations on an airdrop form, that's just common sense but i do contact them and cross reference the form's twitter account (which is usually a derivative of the original. e.g. @GMT will be @GMT_)

I have some tips to checking scam airdrop, here my tips:
1. Look thread starter reputation/rank, it's easy to look at Bitc**talk, when newbie creating ann/airdrop with newbie rank, sure 90% is just scam.
2. I take look on their social media, when account create, how many followers( but this not valid since you can buy followers).
3. Checking official website on google, if created only few month and expired in 1-2 year, I will give it as red flag.
4. Website content, if you found many miss spelling, I think that content build in short time by freelancer.
Let me know if you have any others tips, good luck :)
