Is this the new style of crypto scam?

[nelson4lov]

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.

...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.

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.

[Coin63@]

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...

[tinakoya]

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.

[wawan96]

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.

[Thymoty]

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.

[Arendra]

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.

[Raboni]

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.

[LaZim]

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.
