[MaMooN]

With the increasing popularity of cryptocurrencies and add of huge amounts of money to the market and airdrop, we will not be surprised if we know that there are many tricks that enable pirates to steal your digital currency through many different and smart ways.

In this post, I will explain the basic rules that must be followed to make sure to avoid being a victim of fraud in the distribution of free digital currency or what is known as the airdrop.


The fact that these projects target large capital; they attracted many pirates and invented new fraudulent tricks. Therefore, we present to you some of the points that must be taken into consideration before participating in the Airdrop operations.
The most important tips before participating in airdrop

1 - Do not send any crypto currency (Etherium or Bitcoin) to pay for the airdrop

this is one of the most common methods of fraud. You will see false pages on social networking platforms inviting you to donate 1-10 ethreum to get free codes. This is the trick some people use. So do not trust them.

2 - Do not share your private key with anyone at all


3 - Create new mail dedicated to airdrop
In every airdrop, the platform asks you to check your e-mail, so it is not good to register at the platforms that you do not know about it with your private e-mail.


4 - Use different passwords , Do not use same password on all sites


5 - Be careful with the use of "know your customer"  with Airdrop

know your customer know-processes are used in many airdrop operations. If you do not plan to buy cryptocurrencies , you should be careful  and don’t  send your personal data and identity photo  to participate in the airdrop. This step will ensure you secure your personal data.

6. Prepare a new etherum portfolio for airdrop


7. It is always preferable to use reliable sources when you research
Always make sure to follow the search links from official Twitter and channels.
you will find many similar profiles that claim to be on the official airdrop page.

How did you get hacked just from joining airdrops? Was there some other security lapse? Sounds very unlucky, hope it wasn't too much anyway.

Recently there have been some initiatives in form of Crypto Police . Kind of safety in a group still it is hard indeed to feel safe among so many icos and airdrops some of them are fake and an attempt of phishing your details
