Another fake uniswap airdrop running by same group of scammers. Here is another one which frontend is completely same like this one, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5285397.0

Recently we have seen multiple uniswap related fake airdrops and its increasing in numbers after this news, https://cointelegraph.com/news/uniswap-moves-closer-to-a-new-five-million-uni-airdrop

All these websites are running by a specific person or group who are trying to take the advantage of uniswap upcoming events. I will suggest our community users to keep proper distance from this type of obvious scam projects. Stay alert, stay safe.

I also think this is somehow operated by same entity. I think this is the 3rd time I saw an uniswap airdrop even when literally its not even linked on the uniswap site.

They should be aware that a second airdrop is possibly  coming but too bad. The old wallets whom received uni before werent eligible anymore. Only those whom not claimed but active as well during the same period with other supported wallets listed on the articles.

Yes, the perhaps these criminals are just the same people behind this fake uniswap airdrop because they can easily deceived crypto enthusiast specially those who are new in the airdrops. And this has been growing because crypto is already in a bull run although some altcoins are bleeding.

But Uniswap is one project that is really doing good despite the so many scam attempts. So criminals are hoping to still take advantage of the situation. Will continue to post if I find some in social media's (discord and telegram) so give warnings to new and not so new users in this community.
