Title: No official zkSync airdrop yet.
Post by: albon on April 25, 2024, 07:22:01 PM
What happened:: One of the Newbie members posted a phishing link about the ZkSync Airdrop, urging members to register through the link and take some steps to claim their shares of the airdrop. According to official ZkSync accounts, their airdrop has not yet been launched.

Additional Notes: The airdrop space carries significant risks, so we have to warn against all different methods of scammers, whether they are simple or complex. We should also highlight the phishing domains they use and report them, as these scammers promote their scam methods even on forums. Therefore, they allow us to create new content to expose and warn members and search engine visitors about them.

This ZkSync is actually an existing project, and even earlier than now, there have been a lot of scam airdrops in their name, and this one is just part of them. Last week, when I was trying to check out a website I suspected to be a scam and had a phishing link on it, I came across the ZkSync airdrop website, which is targeting its users .

Thanks for the warning. If people can make it necessary to check through information about certain promoted links and airdrops, a lot of scammers won't have as many victims as they usually do.

A trend has now started in the crypto market with the ZkSync project, and this trend is being used by some people to trap crypto users. Many posts of ZkSync Airdrop are also seen on various social media and it is very dangerous for new crypto users as they have little knowledge about such traps and become easy prey for scammers.

Thank you for giving this warning, it will make many crypto users alert to be safe from any such trap.
