guys be aware of the airdrop forms that you fill up in here , i filled out a few forms yesterday and i started receiving scam emails on that email address.



You are very right and fake airdrop Forms are not only on this forum
If you check your emails; there are thousands of fake airdrops sent daily

Be smart
Do not be in a hurry while doing airdrops; so you can fish out the fakes

Yeah we need to be alert always, most of these fake token airdrop forms tend to be more like phishing forms and less like reward forms, we need to be careful while providing information because some of them do take all important information and the result may be the hack or theft so never fill every form and avoid low quality projects and their airdrops.

mostly of the airdrop now is scam.. that is why i never fill up a form since the last 2017.. they will get your email and start sending you airdrop and links to participate in their referral.. no more airdrop that has value today unlike last 2017
It's just rarely having a good airdrop during this time with a good intentions to paid the participants because it often scam at the end. Right now i can tell that it so hard to earn money on this thing. They just want to collect your information.

I know what you said is true about receiving spam emails after filling out some forms and it's good thing you warned people over that but one problem is, how to know the airdrops to join and the ones not to jointo avoid this? I wish we can figure this out before joining any airdrop

It's normal that airdrops and bounty campaigns are selling your email databases. It's another way for them to make some money on the side.

Smart people know this and use burner emails to register. It's not a big deal. When your email address starts getting too much spam just switch it to another one. It takes 5 minutes to set it up.

It's easy for me to trace scam airdrop forms, and once detected, I don't even bother filling. People should stop filling airdrop forms with their main email address, also when registering on a site provided, never use your main email and it's password, it might be a trap to hack your email or an attempt to check if the login details matches your exchange accounts or other sites. Let's be guided.

More and more airdrops projects are phishing aimed at stealing information from participants. Most of the current airdrop projects do not bring you any results, so limit your information. The implementation of KYC administration should also be considered because it will greatly affect your personal information.

Some of it is coming from ICO's that you've participated but once I received it all I have to do is just hit the spam button and it will just go through the spam emails and all the succeeding emails that I'm going to receive coming from those emails are tagged as spammed.

When participating in the airdrop program, we must also be more vigilant and careful because at this time there are a lot of phishing and fraud in the name of the airdrop program. This has become an open secret again. Already many people have been deceived when following the airdrops program. Of course, this can be a lesson for all of us. Do not be easily tempted by this one program, especially if we have not analyzed carefully whether iniscam or legit.

Thankfully google spam filters are working well now, these emails rarely appear in my inbox, though I took part in hundreds of airdrops and bounties. Just don't click suspicious links Smiley

Indeed, participation in Airdrop is not safe lately, as fraudsters can easily get your data, as well as easy access to your wallets. Therefore, it is an unjustified risk that is unlikely to bring you profit and success.

indeed at this time we find it difficult to find a program that does not smell of fraud, whether it's in the form of airdrop or bounty. whether what is their motivation, and most severely we find it difficult to find the traits in that fraud. we all hope this will soon be over.

So far, I never again participate in certain airdrops. First is because less worth coins that they commonly offer. Then, there are so many scams and phishing from airdrop programs. That is why being careful and watch out of we want to participate in the airdrops is very important. KNow the regulation and ways to earn the tokens or coins from the airdrop programs.

It is a norm, majority of the airdrops are means to getting attention from suspicious sites and malwares, the best practice is to use a dedicated email quite different from normal or regular email for Airdrop, that way you will not bother much about the kind of mails received therein

Right, create a disposal email, so that when then try to spam or even attempted to hack that account, it will be useless for them.

You can also check this, https://haveibeenpwned.com/, to see if your account has been compromised already.

You'd be surprised, but a lot of airdrops sell our email bases to the network, then, as you can already guess, we have a huge mountain of spam and phishing on our emails. That is why for airdrop should use a separate email.

Sharing the personal email address is not a genuine idea if there are more than enough scam projects which usually sells user database of the customers. Use fake and temporary email address and block all incoming emails from the first address.

We are running into this kind of system ever since, not just the airdrop but most of the social sites where your emails are connected. Its really good to have personal and other account separately, it can lessen the spam. Be ware also if KYC was being asked, its not good for just an airdrop.

I really think that scammers and fraudsters are going to get the email addresses of the bounty participants and airdrop participants on the spreadsheets, scammers and fraudsters would collect such emails so that they gonna send their phising sites to many address and maybe some innocent would click to their bait and be scammed. This tactics are commonly used by scammers.
