Features of fake/scam AirDrops

[Shamm]

Do people still hunt for airdrops? Most airdrops are scam, only few out of many airdrops are not fake. After wasting and putting much effort of them, one end up getting little or shit coins as reward for the hardwork. The most annoying part of it is that you can’t sell or swap them and will be useless in ones wallet.

Some people still hunt or let say their habits are raindrop why,? First  Because they are aiming an easy money cause the only thing you do is referred your code and then boom easy money. Second, they are lazy enough to find work in their different countries without knowing that the money came from raindrop are based on  the project they are participating cause now adays scammer is in our back.

We can easily detect any airdrop if they are real or fake.We just have knowledge about crypto project analysis. And we just need to research about the project from the airdrop. Just do research and you can predict if the project is legit or a scam.

I said that not all airdrops are fake, but some of them run well and provide sufficient rewards or according to what they are doing, I do that but I don't follow all airdrops, especially in the friend referral system.

There are airdrops with capital that are usually slightly better than free ones, for example with the launch of DEX which usually we often interact on several ERC20 networks where we usually get tokens that have been allocated,
Take for example $OP (optimism) it is one of them.

Reading this thread, I saw myself in retrospect and I laughed, I knew the word airdrop for the first time in 2021, that coincidentally was the time I started developing great interest in cryptocurrency. I saw airdrop videos on YouTube which showed how to get airdrop, I was busy throughout the day browsing airdrop and their addresses in order to claim them in my trust wallet, I made a long list and I did them all. When I looked at my wallet, I was seeing great amounts of coins, I was happy thinking they were all real until sometimes later when I saw a video on how to test if an airdrop is authentic, I checked all the airdrops, they were all fake.

Regarding 2nd one, I wouldn't call it airdrop where they pay you for referring others.

There have been alot of scam project now...

Three features of fake airdrop.

1: any airdrop that "have no end" they often runs for 2/3 months, majority are not true.  real airdrops don't last more than a month.

2:  95% of airdrop given to "all participants" is not real. Normal airdrop is mainly for a limited number for top referrals.

3: Any airdrop promising you high amount of their token equivalent  $5000, $10,000 or even more without through referral bonus may not be real. Real airdrops don't give such amount, unless you are claiming on  their site where you pay gas fee,

Also, the group of the Airdrop project on Telegram, if it contains spam, bots, and admins do not answer people’s questions, then know that it is undoubtedly a fake airdrop. Most of the new Twitter accounts that do not have many followers and that promote airdrops and NFT giveaways are accounts that were created in order to deceive people and increase followers. Also, the airdrop website, if its script is primitive and unprofessional, or the whitepaper has plagiarism, then the airdrop coins will be shitcoins in the future.
