So far I have not felt any other party contact me via Telegram channel (DM) or from other social media. The problem that I often experience is that we have completed the task diligently and correctly but over time the payment does not enter the connected wallet. This often happens and most importantly do not spend any money, no matter how small, for airdrop events. Remember to protect your money properly because there are many ways of fraud

Well, I always thought that everyone understands that. I mean, most rules are pretty basic, especially "don't share your seed phrase". Who could even do that?

Basic rule like handling your seed phrase securely or not taking messages From admins of certain project seriously aren't even common with Airdrops and seems way too theoretical than a practical experience that's common with most airdrops. The site you visit and the spams you receive while you partake in certain airdrops are for me the most risky things that's mostly associated with doing of airdrops.
