Airdrops wont get your private keys,normally they will just require you to fill up some form with your bitcontalk account,wallet address and optional with email addresses you can use dummy email address so that you wont receive phishing emails from these people,do not waste your time with these stupid airdrops instead join bounty programs.

Never join these airdrops that will require your private keys,normally wallet and email address would be the requirement for such airdrops.If someone ask you to put your private keys im sure 100% it is a scam because why would they need to get your private keys if thet arent going to steal your investments or coins.

If you just open that email and don't click/download any attachment then I cant see a reasons that you would be hacked out by someone.This is why we should really be careful on downloading things on pc, executable files will run if you don't have an antivirus that can detect those malwares. Private keys cant be hacked if you don't disclose it into public. Unless if you got phished then 100% you will be hacked.

Private keys shouldnt be given to anyone,because it is the most imporant part of your investments if someone knew your keys you are good as dead,all of your funds might be transfered to his own wallet so that protect your keys as you are protecting your love ones,never give it to anyone because that thing can be the key to your success or failure.

It could happen, when they send you a link to a pishing site of myetherwallet. So don't follow the links, then they will have no chance to hack your wallet. There are many scamming devs, but also airdrops of awesome cryptocurrencies.

Always protect your private keys from anyone,it shouldnt be given even to your families so that your money wont be stolen by these people.You need to know that these people wont stop doing shitty scams to steal the newbies investments,so you need to research before doing anything in our community so you will be protected from these hackers.

Some airdrops requires you to provide private keys and that's a clear scam because in the first place you should not give not key to anyone. Giving your email is ok but don't ever download anything from that site because you might really got scammed if you do better to be safe than to get some shit coin that don't have any value after all.

These people shouldnt be given any chance to scam people,this is the reason why the world doesnt want to get into our market because most of the people are taking advantages to each other,the mainstream media will always be negative to our community that is why we shouldnt be doing anything that can harm the reputation of cryptocurrencies.

Then what happened after you click such link? As long you didn't input something or download then you didn't commit any mistake.

Even just on common sense you will able to identify if a thing is a pure scam or not. We do know that private keys is the most important information/access to our wallets and even creating our wallet in first place do have caution about on keeping it for yourself which means theres no reason that you haven't told or being reminded in relation with it.Keys is on your full responsibility don't give it to anybody no matter what.

All of the people who will ask for your private keys will surely steal all of your funds,so protect your keys just like protecting your wife and children,never give it to anyone private keys will be your assurance you better get some hardwallets like ledger and trezor because it can give you an extra protection with these hackers.

that right if someone want to get into cryptocurrencies and somehow stole his money  like me he will hate it for ever that must be some kind things like controlling those scammers ... and we ask ourselves why all the world against the idea of cryptocurrencies for that kind of things

That's very true, I agree with you. Crypto is indeed very profitable but full of enormous risks when we invest and when it is also we know that when we invest it all is a scam or fraud. Many are afraid to invest in fear of being cheated. Because there is no guarantee all back when we invest. This is a lesson for us when we want to invest in caution against fraud and other things.

Are you one of the KYC victims who sent all his data over the internet and clicked on a bunch of emails from the KYC company? 

The hackers are using KYC to steal your funds.  Your handing them all the info.
