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.
I fully agree with your opinion, since last year I was a very active participant of Airdrops and earned more spam than assets. That's how bad the situations right now regarding to those projects who offered airdrops, people are been easily moved by this free opportunities but forget about the reality, there's more spam nowadays than receiving real assets to be hold inside your wallet, and in addition to that if you provide your email then spam messages will also comes from time to time.

This has happened to me, too. I specifically started a separate Inbox for these emails. But all would be well but they clog up the necessary information.
usually if an email that is not known in the form of airdrop will go into spam, but if it goes to the main email you can mark it as spam so as not to close other important emails. I often get strange emails after filling in the airdrop form with emails that are publicly displayed

That is why I used a separate dummy email for airdrops. When you provided them your email address you will start receiving enormous amount of spam and phishing emails you. They try if they can fool someone and gain access over their private accounts and informations.

Do you think that sone airdrop are totally free? If so, you are wrong. See, emails are good or actually perfect for marketing thats why they can sell it to companies or even scammers who will send link for offers or anything that can get information from you. Thats how it works thats why you have to be careful in getting free tokens/coins.

It is advisable to use a dedicated email address and not a personal email in joining airdrops so you won't get a lot of spam messages. I think it is very common knowledge nowadays that if you let your email exposed to everyone through the internet, you'll get a chain of messages promoting the product of different companies and in the crypto world that's one way of promotion. I even get a lot of promotions via my message Inbox here in Bitcointalk through PM. It is a challenge to do free marketing and promotion nowadays

Yes that's right, I do not know why people like the airdrops although it is useless and the rewards has no great value and is rare to find an honest airdrop, Most are just a scam and It's a waste of time, If you want to participate in Airdrop, you must put an email other than your official email, Leave your official email for important messages only without sharing this email in the Airdrop form, As for the other mail i advise you not to open messages asking you to put your private key or install an add-on browser or download something and block the scam emails that sent you messages to prevent them from sending you other messages again.

Most airdrops are scam no doubt but there are still very good old project doing airdrops,instead of not joining any airdrops i always check airdrops list to see if there is old project airdrop available,some projects are already trading for example stratis airdrop is still on today and im sure you know how good the project is?this are the type of airdrops i like joining

Yes, right. because many of the airdrop forms are aimed at deception. besides that also due to this fraud, will cause negative trust in our account. so be careful if you meet with airdrop form.

Not all airdrops are scams, back in 2017-2018 there was many which were actually pretty succesful. You just need to be smart about it.
For one, if this is an ERC20 airdrop, then use a unique ETH address for privacy reasons. Some ask for usernames and emails and passwords, just make sure those are all unique.
Never download any software or go to any website which forces you to download software.

yes there are many cases of fraud on behalf of airdrop via your email, I personally do not care about that especially let alone airdrops. if a message arrives on behalf of airdrops or requires you to do Kyc you better just ignore it. Beware of unpleasant air strikes

It's obvious.But mostly such letters come in the tab ,,spam,,.So there is no reason to worry.The main thing is not to go on the links in emails.

This is true, I keep on getting spam/promotional emails now because of me filling up details from an airdrop form. And I can't unsubscribe for some reason. Though that airdrop campaign really helped, its such an inconvenience.

First time on airdrop? I think most of Airdrop here is just a method to scamming people here. I have seen many times airdrop who beg people to send eth or send their PK to get the airdrop. It just a scam, so be careful.

airdrops? even the prize campaign is still vulnerable to fraud especially when compared to airdrops, we are on a global forum and there is no guarantee of any kind about crypto, it all depends on how we can survive here. Some air droplets have passed. There are no more airdrops like in 2017, you better focus on other work and don't expect more with airdrops.

It's not but what happen when the scammer will try to put the link to the malware? we must be careful with any possibilities to be scammed from various ways. I have received so many scam emails and i don't even know where i have putted my email to the scam project, it looks like the developers who are received the email has already tried to sold it in the dark market. Airdrop form is a very sensitive to be used by scammer.

Well yes, this is a pretty standard modus operandi of these would-be scammers. Farming emails via forms, praying for people that are too naive and then using the mails to spam with scam content.

I think this problem has been shared by many bounty hunters, who are doing airdrops. Once you give your email required for airdrop, you will start receiving scores of emails spamming your email account. I have also been facing this problem. I am tired of clearing my inbox everyday due to such spam emails.
The problem of mail spam concerns not only airdrops. There are bounty campaigns that ask their members for their email addresses and then publish them as a separate column in spreadsheets. What scammers use, copy these addresses and send out malicious links and spam.
