Somehow I thought that fake Uniswap airdrops are behind us as the real one happened more than a month ago, but I guess it's still a thing. Worst of all, even though it is an obvious scam attempt as noone legitimate will ask you for private key, there will be some who will fall for you this, and that's scammers target audience : newbies and ignorants. Plenty of those around.

Thats obviously a pretty red flag. Also its quite simple to know if the airdrop will be coming from uniswap itself. They had a governance voting about their next airdrop and it seems likely occur with some of the supported wallet. In relation to the scam posted above, let me share the news about the real potential airdrop from uni. Check this out guys. https://cointelegraph.com/news/uniswap-moves-closer-to-a-new-five-million-uni-airdrop Its seems they are gonna do a second drop but this time with more wallets supported or interacted with uniswap. I read that previous receiver wont receive any this time.

Yeah we have seen another one few days earlier which frontend design was slightly different and if i am not wrong then all these fake giveaway related scammer websites have a strong connection and running by the same group of people. after getting caught or not having enough responses from investors they are just changing their domain and shifting the template to new one. Even in some cases they are running multiple projects together and using the same frontend design.

I read that previous receiver wont receive any this time. After seeing this news i am damn sure that scammers will increase their activity and hopefully we are going to see some more fake UNISWAP related giveaways. I wish crypto users will justify every single giveaway before putting their foot on this kinda trap.

This is just their awareness to remain vigilant, not to be tempted when Uniswap has officially lowered the airdrop, so in conclusion the airdrop will legitimately be mixed with the scamer who spreads it. |
