There are more of this scam airdrop that you will get UNI tokens I think the target of this fake airdrop is the ones who are desperate to have a chance to get a UNI coin. I hope newbies in crypto will not fall for these tricks

They aren't really targeting anyone since you will often see fake giveaways happening to popular cryptocurrencies in the industry. You will see a lot of these fake giveaways for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and other cryptocurrencies whom they know has a lot of users, the more users or the more popular the cryptocurrency is the more chances they will have victims believing their scam. That's why if you will see this kind of crap even if someone popular (Twitter hack) is posting it do not believe what they are trying to show.

Not only a fake airdrop but also a phishing site. Just try to visit the site and got a warning from EAL. So people could be phished if there is an option to put a password or private keys.  :)
we always have to think that if any airdrop/giveaways asked to sent even a little amount of money are fake airdrop/giveaway. So all should be follow the official announcement before joining such type of airdrops and giveaways.

They try to do unusual things, not only airdrops but phishing sites they will also do to get victims, I see so many fake Uniswap airdrops every day they really don't get bored with stupid behavior like this, I'm also sure that some already going to something like this and that this is fake, it doesn't need to be followed, obviously the legit airdrop has ended and that's all it has got.

Beware, this is all the traps they do this just want money with this phishing site capital. This is really annoying.

I agree there are still people that are looking for UNI airdrops because this is the biggest airdrop this year and maybe of all-time high because UNI token, could even go higher than the current price, people should be careful on this kind of airdrop always do diligent research or read other people's opinion about a particular airdrop.

And the list continue to grow as scammers are not stopping creating this fake websites for UNI airdrop because it is still the most sought crypto in the Altcoins market. However, the price seems to be going down now, but criminals are not stopping though because they know that they can catch beginners who don't do any research, and as long as there are UNI in the keyword they will invest and that's why scammers are not stopping anytime.

The same scammer is active under a new domain:

Code:
uniswap-free.com

I have reported this to the abuse email of his webhoster, which quickly took the site offline, but the scammer has since changed his webhoster.
Apparently he is also still operating a twitter page: @UNISWAP_FREE that sometimes promotes the phishing site. I have reported the Twitter account for phishing and for impersonation but Twitter has not blocked them so far.

Good job on you to for putting this issue on the table, if it weren't for you raising awareness, they might have scammed more people than they already have. I don't get the people that fall for this obvious trick, 40 becoming 400 is not something you will see being spouted by an honest man.

Scammers will continue their activities they do not want to use their talents for good. There is still a lot of interest among people in the market with uniswap, which is why scammers want to trap ordinary crypto users with this opportunity of interest. People fall into such traps in the greed to get more free money. So to keep ordinary crypto users safe from such scams, fake websites should be exopse like this. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for exposing it here, did your report the domain name already? I suggest you do, so that it will be taken down. First you can report it here, https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/?hl=en.

And then we look for the domain registrar, which is here:

Fake Uniswap everywhere, a newbie at this time must come to scam Accusation board first before entering any website to join.

here, https://dnstwister.report/search?ed=756e69737761702e6f7267 when I searching domain Uniswap find anything related to the fake site. I also fund any of fake uniswap (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5197078.0)

And yet another domain for the same scam :)
Code:
uniswap-wallet.com
Mirrored at:
https://web.archive.org/web/20210125234811/https://uniswap-wallet.com/sign.php

I am reporting them left an right, but always new domain names come up.

The scammer personal information was briefly visible when he changed hoster:

Name: Pavel Zuev
Organization: Private Person
Street: 3-liniya, 2 polovini, 23 korpus, 3
City: Sankt-Peterburg
State: Sankt-Peterburg
Postal Code: 187021
Country: RU
Phone: +7.9871955892
Fax: +7.9871955892
Email: zuevpavel@protonmail.com

Maybe a police report for this "Pavel Zuev" guy is possible? Do we have Russian members here?
