Mail + airdrop + wallet details= scam

Most of these airdrops are scams so newbies should avoid these airdrops. Scammers especially promote fake airdrops on social media. Gmail is a street where a lot of fake scam airdrop mail can be found.

Newbies do not know the kind of coin they will promote, some times them promoting a scam project some of the newbie doesn't know as I said, tye people I blame most for all this airdrops is the people that know that it's irrelevant project and finally they still project same project, to notice fake coin is something I know that we have to research and make sure that we have known the budget and plans of the project

You are correct about everything you said, especially the air drop and the wallet address; these days, scams also target senior forum members because some of them are also ungrateful, and when someone is not satisfied with what they have, they will encounter a lot of unexpected challenges. Although airdrops are among the best ways for many people to make money today, they are not as popular as they once were because the majority of fraudsters now employ them.

Scammers can do anything to ensure they get your details, but I advise anyone who is interested in cryptocurrency to never pray to get involved in their hands because the scammers will scam all of your future savings. Newbies shouldn't be greedy by allowing them to be scammed on social media because most of these scammers always what will make you feel greedy and get into your wallet.

A lot of these kinds of emails are circulating around the internet and each of them has a different approach to their victims they already made some automotive replies in order to further confuse and eventually fool their victims. in order to prevent yourself from falling into such scams, it is good to just directly delete the message whenever you receive it, or if there are lots of them you receive every day, you should consider changing your email because I believe your current email is already been sold out in the black market and it will continue to be scrap and sold all around to scammers just to sent you those malicious emails.

Yeah, you are right, mahn. I fell pray with those guys before, and they hacked my wallet. There's also this experience I had with airdrops too when I started my crypto journey. After the airdrop was concluded, a fake coin was deposited to my provided address, and I was  asked to swap the coin for some USDT or another fiat that is trading on some unknown DEX. As soon as you connect your wallet, your wallet can now be accessed by those hackers. There are more fake airdrops now than ever before, but I think some projects still do airdrops because it's also helpful to promote their projects.

The most common mistake beginners make is that they tend to promote something blindly without being able to do thorough research. Of course it's not worth the time and what they get, but at least they need to do thorough research to prevent free work.

My worst experience as a beginner was, the altcoin project I was promoting didn't really pay value for my time. I only have myself to blame for my inability to do research, but I learned a lot from the experience. That's what beginners have to do so that they can successfully value their time on the forum.

Newbies should not be carried away by freebies and airdrops, some of them are fake and are created to launch an attack. They should disregard unsolicited PMs and mails, be mindful of the links they click and know the sites they grant access to their wallets.

Even if we remind them for so many times, it's hard to know if many of them will follow that. They're also curious with those links and that's why we have no idea how many are going to easily click those unsolicited links that they don't know the contents of it.
They could seriously malware or fill up forms that are going to ask for their log in details and as well as the private keys of their wallets. The targets are they and that's why whoever send those type of links are going easy on them because they know that many might fall for that.

I agree that the airdrops offered through gmail probably scams. Unless you follow the sites or the platform that offer the airdrops, it is better to ignore the airdrops offers on gmail. It is not a new issue, we already got hundreds of airdrops offers on gmail since few years ago. But newbies may be not aware about this. So, it is true that we must let them know.

Most of these airdrops are scams so newbies should avoid these airdrops. Scammers especially promote fake airdrops on social media.

I don't how the percentage of real airdrops and scam airdrops. But I know that most airdrops are worthless, they pay us for cents (too small money). FYI, I never joined again airdrops due to so many times the failure in working airdrops. I concluded it jus wasting time.

Scams are almost everywhere, it is really hard to trust someone online, especially strangers. These scammers will never stop finding ways just to see someone fall into their trap. A reason why we should not just be aware of their evil doings but also, know how to avoid them and determine if that is a scam or not. Most of their trick is to offer free money, big bonuses, and rewards while encouraging you to invest more. They are actually nice to you at first but later on, intentions are revealed when you already fall into their traps.
