Never open something from your spam mail box. Im sure that site get shared by email and almost 100% chance it go straight to your spam box. Never put your private key (any privatekey) at some random website. it pretty much scam and just try to stole your money.

if they ask for your private key it is definitely a scam, but sometimes there are still many beginners who are interested in the words of a swindler that airdrop coins will be of high value. I hope no one else gets scam Cry

Thanks for sharing this, i tried to put some random numbers to input on their data and it did indeed ask for your private keys. Never ever trust their website and their token since they do scam hence they tokens are shit or no value.
They have an application also for your smartphones and i don't know how it's done since i'm not downloading their apps.

It's a shared link via Twitter
sometimes information is viralized via social media
you see the info in your timeline because people is tweeting news or airdrop without investigating

This is the most dangerous way to fall in with scammers, people click thinking that it is legit (someone retweeted it) and of course it is not

a single human error can viralize and contribute to losses of money

Now there are a lot of sites that are similar to well-known wallets or exchanges. You should always check the correctness of writing the address of the site you need and only then enter your passwords. And never enter private keys before the check!

You need not to be told but that would be the dumpiest thing anybody can do and i suppose that is the reason whyit is called private key because it is private and not public key.

Also, other than not giving your private key, you should also check the site that you are logging into and accessing before importing your private key and account. You will never know that you have entered a phishing site unless you're paying a lot of attention. A lot of members, not only newbies, can become a victim of phishing site so you have to be very careful.

There's no one who will give their private keys intentionally ofcourse, they know about it because even newbies know that private key is the key to their wallet so why would they will give it right?. If this happen this is not their intention, it might be accident because sometimes or some of us save our private key to our laptop right?, the same with our address so , sometimes we accidentally copy the private key rather than the address that's why we should be careful about that also.

I cannot believe what I'm seeing. Not just this scam site, any site or anybody, whomever asks private key means they are the thiefs that want to steal your hard earned money. Don't forget that private key is almost sacred. Keep it to yourself.

Private keys shouldn't be sent to another person even if they ask for it, the private key is what unlocks the wallet.

Sorry, but such sites are an excellent test for the presence of brains. It's like agreeing to a request to dictate a credit card number, expiration date and a CCV (but do not worry, the card is physically in your hand).
