Watch out for scammers

[sammys]

If there are 100 airdrop 60-70 of them try to steal your funds bro. I use my rpi for airdrops mail and I'm relax with that.

[sireseh]

we all know that scamers are everywhere, they have many ways of doing scam. we must always be careful in choosing airdrop to avoid things that are not desirable. so we should always be careful in maintaining the safety of our wallets ..

hi folks I want to warn all the participants in the airdrops There are a bunch of scammers They steal the privet key of myetherwallet i dont know how they do that but i think by sending you an email and when you check the email and click on it they can access to all the file in your pc and steal the key i dont know how that works i'm not an expert so don't put any of the private key in the computer or in your phones .

I have no problem with most airdrops, but I won't send payment to cover cost of delivery.

Also, do not open sketchy emails on your PC that has your crypto coins.  Do that on an old phone or something.  Better yet do it on a windows phone.

Honestly, the scammers are everywhere especially in the field of cryptocurrencies, so everyone should be wary of them, As well, I see that  many have been robbed by those scammers, because simply, they do not have much knowledge in the field that  they use ,  and unfortunately there are many idiots,  and everyone must learn how to protect himself before entering into the area of crypto.

On the other hand, the private key in "Myetherwallet" is a personal protection, and it is certain that  we should not give it to anyone. Otherwise, the airdrop is the easiest way to trick many people,  and the  greed is  prevalent in many of them, because  they want to make money in an easy way.

that is why don't click any links from them because they are injecting worms and viruses in order they could penetrate your computer and they could get whatever they want.
I never joined even a single airdrops because I knew that they're not worth of my time and efforts because last year I have no good experiences on joining Airdrops because most of them are just plain useless and scams.

This is the fact evidence that blockchain technology and Cryptocurrencies are hack proof and the only way they could get something worth out of Crypto is to send malicious stuff to the users and holders that will trigger and giving them green light to penetrate their victim's computer and get private keys and other confidential stuff from your computer.
If they got your private key then  they could get every coin in your wallet and you'll wakeup the next day seeing empty wallet.
so, better stop joining Airdrops and focus on something else, that is joining bounty campaigns will offer you higher chance of getting new altcoins that will soon offer you good fortune.

You shouldnt be joing airdrops,or giving your main email addresses because these people will only going to send a lot of phishing emails and will try to steal your private keys that is why we shouldnt be using our email addresses if we are joining these airdrops,use some dummy email accounts so that you will be safe from these spam emails.

Thanks for the information

Next time I will watch the scams.

[metribitcoin]

Thanks for sharing this case, i joined airdrop only from legit project. I prefer to join bounty program and spend times for trading. Airdrop is small reward and sometime waste times to handle it when sell the token in exchange. For the better more focus on bounty and altcoin trading.

[Tishry201]

You are absolutely on point. I observed most of shit airdrops out there are just their to collect people’s information and keep spamming emails after getting the information. Bunch of scammers, no doubt

[sneakycoin]

As they say there's no such thing as a free lunch. Thanks for the info. I'll keep it on mind

Airdops cannot steal your private key because airdrop only got your ETH address during the survey or the form that you are going to fillup and submitted to thier site. The reason why we are scam its because we give directly our private and personal information and also wen we are  applying on airdrops.
 
But thank you for this information this is a big help for us.

Thanks for the warning. I dont join airdrops by the way they are just a waste of time. Aside from they don pay, they will take thousands of participants so get only very few valueless tokens. Will reauire you also to,perform tasks whis is a waste of time also. Better bounty than airdrops.

[Alexishugh7]

Thanks for the heads up, but I personally think it is unwise to store your private keys eletronically. Quite risky. Put it on a sheet of paper, with that it can never be hacked.

[Iyanu14]

Good post, to add to what you have sais, everyone should let it be your part of core not to click on untrusted links, that is how people are being hacked of private keys.

[Razick]

At this point I would not advise anyone to participate in any kind of airdrops because almost all of them are scammers that are looking for a way to steal your coins by asking you to paste your private keys to log into your wallets in order to earn the coins from the airdrops. DON'T DO IT. Stay away from airdrops and if you need to earn some free tokens then do bounty and signature campaigns.

There are some phishing sites, they imitate etherdelta, but they have subtle differences, maybe etherdelta2.com, or etherdelte.com, so when you have to open your eyes.

It's ok to join any bounty campaigns or airdrops available on this forum but never give your private keys for you not to be scammed.
Open MyEtherWallet on your browser and hit bookmark in order not to open phishing sites in the future.
That will prevent you on losing your crypto assets because you are the owner of your wallet and you are only the responsible on taking care of it.

EtherDelta isn't safe this year due to many attacks on their servers and even on their DNS that you'll then redirected on their clone phishing website in order to get your keys.
Phishing is one of their main attack because blockchain servers are 99% attack proof so their only way to get money is to attack crypto holders remotely.
