This is why I dont join on any airdrops anymore because of the scammers. Once you filled a form to join their airdrop they will send you an email and that email an attack to scam your private keys and other important things in your pc. It happen many times so better dont click an phishing attack in your email.
Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

Thanks for the info. No wonder I never take part in airdrops. Paying penny and can steal my coins. Never!!

For experience people, they can avoid to click link from any unknown source example email.
However, if you want to join airdrop, please avoid to join any airdrop which ask you to do ubnormal thing.

There are so many scammers nowadays. Some are creating their own websites imitating the website we used to log in our credentials. We have to be alert and watchful on those things because they might trap us. Be watchful, everyone.

In fairness with the Airdrops, there are also good and profitable coins you get from Airdrops, that was before when I participated in some. But today it was being abused, being used to scam people, thats why I get rid of these Airdrops and better participate in Social media campaigns or Signature campaings.
For your security, never ever input your private key in any of doubtful and unsafe websites and emails, and always bookmark everything legit.

Thank you for the information. As I see airdrops could be scam. Is the most dangerous thing there is to download their attachements and click the links, right? Or what else?

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.



Yeah the KYC scams are running rampant at this point.  People are getting seriously hurt when they make the mistake to compromise their personal documents.  Hackers now have a wealth of information on you to begin brute forcing into your computer to steal your funds.

Thanks for the warning. I have a little bit idea regarding scam but not expected too much scam. Maybe be vigilant and do our own research. Take your own risk.

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.
Yes your right its better to join bounty than airdrop, your effort will useless..

You should have installed an anti-malware/virus for safety reason. If you have one already then updating to latest version is very important.
I rarely join airdrop but if I join, I will not open a link they sent. It's better safe than sorry.
Anyway just continue your involvement in cryptocurrency and be careful from now on.

I am totally confused, why a lot of hackers today can easily enter by building any forms of applications and then sometimes automatically downloaded to our gadgets. Many times I been discovered that some applications automatically downloaded to my phone. So, I difinitely say that social media also cannot detect hackers. Because they are giving way for some hackers entering here in social media. For me hackers can also contributes income into social media because they are freely here perform any abused and take advantage to other weak prople.

For safety of all people who love to join airdrops and you are unstoppable. Just don't send your private key to anyone. It's only for you to keep your funds safe and don't be so gullible that they will send your free tokens in exchange of your private keys that has balance. Once they gain access to your private keys, they can easily open your wallet.

This would be a big reminder to many airdrop lover, scammers do lots of thing to scam us because that is their job we only need is to be careful and choose the airdrop which are possibly legit or create other wallet to received token from airdrop for our safety.

There are no free lunches under the sun. Although many airdrops can get free tokens by spending a small amount of time registering, it seems very appealing, but I would like to know how to study what airdrops are deceptive.

Thanks for this valuable information. Scammers won't really stop in their wrongdoings. Why there are people like this who's happy stealing from others. They don't have any respect to the feelings of their fellow human.

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.
yes this is right i agree with this, dont click the links they send especially if they personally email you some links offering ne airdrops or what so ever they want you to fill in, because in that way they can hack or access to your accounts i dont know how they did that but just be consious enough not to trust right away, because scammers are skilled people want to earn money in a bad way.

Yes for that we must be careful for the airdrop program, although not all airdrop programs like what you mentioned, but airdrop prize is small and it will make you lose time. It's better to follow the signature campaign, because it's more promising.
