OK, I tried this app and what can I say... It a bait and switch scam.
First, you're lured with promises of quick money. Yeah, you start claiming airdrops and they start pouring down your wallet. After maybe five minutes of click and clack, you probably have about $100 or more in tokens. Sounds cool, isn't? Especially for third-world citizens like me, eager to earn dollars.
Well, there's a little problem ahead: all you have at the moment is some tokens in a wallet you do not own, and you don't even know if it's real yet or just a MySQL database.
You need to trade those tokens for ETH, right? Good, the app provides an easy way to do that. Only thing is, you need ZDR tokens to pay for fees. A single transaction inside the exchange costs you 10 ZDR, or, ~ 0.0028 ETH. Do the math. Most of your airdrops are worth maybe $0.5, so you'll end up sending ETH to buy this obscure ZDR token so you can pay the fee for a single transaction. You'll end up with almost the same amount of ETH you just spent to trade. Fool's business.
Oh, and even if you are lucky enough to have a substantial airdrop, worth $10 or more, you have another little problem: you still need to withdraw, right? OK, that will cost you about $15 at current values. Yep: $15 in fees to withdraw.
And the story doesn't end up here. You pay the price, you suck it up, and then you check your Metamask again, and again. Minutes come and pass. Hours. Then days. Your transaction never arrives.
Do your own research. I don't want to say it's a scam, but if it looks like a scam, barks like a scam, and bites like a scam...
