USDT airdrop. USDT that has been created since many years ago. If anyone is scammed this way, is he or she not a fool? Or can we say it is ignorance? I think it is foolishness and greediness.

This are stupid common ways that scammers are using to scam some people, yet they continue to be victims.

^{- It has the same "connect a wallet" pop-up as the quoted website, but it's for Omni instead!}

Out of curiosity, does it work better than directly reporting to registrars ^{[unfortunately, most of them tend to ignore my reports in the last couple of years]}?

And I don't think there is a Tether airdrop though?

@SFR10 - yeah, might give it a try mate and see how it goes. But I do agree, some of my reports to registrar was also ignored. I will just received a generic responses from them but no concrete actions on their side. If they do like shut down this kind of website, it could be detrimental to their business and maybe this scammers will look to other registrar.

In any case, and for those who are interested to report: I've written this as well, [Guide]: How and Where to Report Phishing Websites. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5226129.0)

Well, most victims can be considered as fools for being greedy of money when the offer is an obvious too good to be true, simply a scam. As long there is "free" and other tempting words, there will always be a fool who will bite the bait.
