Beware of this SCAM about EOS airdrop

[Yuuto]

It would make no sense for EOS to hold any sort of airdrop because that would be scamming the previous investors out of their money by inflating the supply of the coin that has been sent out for no cost.

Also, I'm sure that EOS wants to raise a lot more money than just giving it away via an airdrop.

Thanks for letting us know. It's an obvious one. These phishing emails are really common these days, don't ever click on anything until you verify the sender is legitimate and you've done your reasearch.

These scammers make use of the idea that people want to get something for nothing, so don't just click on the link from any website, because it might steal your all money.

search info first on trusted websites or official website to make sure that email fake or not

There is a new EOS airdrop.
It's a telegram airdrop and google form to fill ETH and telegram username:

1. Join the EOS Telegram Channel https://t.me/joinchat/AAAAAEc58XHpEn2_9QyuUA
2. Fill this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfP-33uFMbI5gqKD2EkRqdeD1P1iMpuFiVMQ9ur1QBarzwecA/viewform

Doesn't seem like a scam, but they are giving away 5 EOS.

Anyone knows about it?

The form was removed and Telegram group renamed in "EOS Info" and emptied.
Seems suspicious. Almost 26k ppl joined the group.
let's see, what they do.
Don't follow links posted in such groups.

Clone phishing
Clone phishing is a type of phishing attack whereby a legitimate, and previously delivered, email containing an attachment or link has had its content and recipient address(es) taken and used to create an almost identical or cloned email. The attachment or link within the email is replaced with a malicious version and then sent from an email address spoofed to appear to come from the original sender. It may claim to be a resend of the original or an updated version to the original. This technique could be used to pivot (indirectly) from a previously infected machine and gain a foothold on another machine, by exploiting the social trust associated with the inferred connection due to both parties receiving the original email.

I also got the same email but am damn sure its a phishing scam because I happen to be a member of the official EOS telegram and there has been a warning before the scam mail.

Well that is something new , so they now try to trick us with fake site which is not MEW then direct us from it to the scam in MEW but with the wrong contract address .  People really need to be careful most of the scams happening is coming from emails .

I will tell you guys something might be useful , When you get an email with important news about a token you own just close your email go to the social media channel of this token or the website and see if there is something really happening . That what I always do .

It is amazing how many users thanked Op for his thread , and now one gave him any Merit .   BTW that is what Merit for ( thanking someone for useful thread or to show him/her that your liked  his/her  thread )

There would be no EOS airdrop because it already one of the most important and the strongest Cryptocurrency in the market today.
I really don't believe EOS would announce their airdrop, for what? They already earned the position as of the top altcoins in the market and would never give their tokens to the public for free.
There's another ICO today that is called EOZ, maybe that ICO will give away free tokens through airdrop.

[eterhunter]

Thanks for the information i was also experience that kind of emailing but i don't mind it i rather delete it to be sure that i will not become one of there victim,nowadays this kind of hacking system is prone to everyone co'z hackers know that we like a free coins in airdrop.

[boss1dg]

thanks for alert .
best method is use bookmark always important URLs .
and never open wallet/exchange link direct from any site .

[micloop]

I received this e-mail too. It's very similar to the original one. Congrats to scammers, this was easy to drop into it.
Not this time to me. =)

[Digital Mutant]

never deploy any contract without knowing the third party you are dealing with

The Scammers are getting sophisticated daily and it only warrant us to be extra careful in our online doings.

Too many bad people attempting to steal from others.

[Fokl]

Thank you for providing information on fraudulent schemes, this is very useful for everyone. Of course, I long ago learned to be suspicious of the letters of "happiness", but sometimes you want to take part in the easy money.

[Ms Emi]

That's one reason I stopped joining airdrops except from the ICO I am joining, but if they don't give airdrops then it's fine with me, I don't want to waste my effort joining those craps, I've learn my lesson.
