Allert about Stellar Airdrop

[SARA ISLAM]

Just now I received a mail http://prntscr.com/m4k92k mail headline Stellar Airdrop in collaboration with Blockchain.com is giving away a total of $125,000,000 worth of Stellar Tokens (XLM).
They give a google form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeK1WtoWzbA9F1JJmHGNAJV4h8sjjtcNQh_SxtqmhbIX1CU1w/viewform and encouraging login this site http://blockchain-btc.space

I consider all of those links suspicious and I will not click in any.

This is the only legit website for this campaign. There is no Google form or any other address.

https://www.blockchain.com/getcrypto

They are not giving cryptocurrency for free. They are paying you $25 for an identity verification (kyc). You will have to send the documents like driver license or passport to receive the Airdrop and link them to your id

[harizen]

http://blockchain-btc.space/ is obviously a sh*t phishing site.

Why does Stellar use Google Form?
Not everyone will visit the official site https://www.stellar.org/, and not every member will find our AirDrop. The official guide decided to create a Google form.

Another obvious sh*t for obvious reason.

Warning for all those newbies who are not familiar how to deal on every site they will encounter on the web. Always used your common sense or assistance to the community. Might be a hassle way for other but it will save you.

[boyptc]

Just proceed to blockchain.com and don't go with any suspicious link that also tells they are giving an airdrop for stellar.

[BitMaxz]

The site is newly registered as of 2019 it's obvious that this site is a scam.

Can you also share with us the email they use or received from the fake airdrop?

So that we can block this email from our email.

[Potato Chips]

There's probably a lot of this. I saw a similar case few weeks ago here where they impersonated blockchain.info and had a phishing link on the tutorial vid posted. (Ref: http://archive.is/7iy5G)

Be very careful everyone, make double checking a habit!

And I saw the screenshot op! no one should really trust a guy who spells crypto as "cripto"

Freakin scammers LOL. Good luck trying to convince people to click on your link if you can't even spell "crypto" right.

Anyway, thanks for the heads up OP. If you're being bombarded with such emails, it's probably a good idea to change your email. If you collect airdrops and such, use a secondary dummy email.

[Mpamaegbu]

Thank you for alerting the community, OP. However, I suggest you deactivate the hyperlinks to those sites so that people don't mistakenly click on them.

People will though. Lured in by the promise of some free token, even if the token is complete trash, worthless, and might never actually hit an exchange, people will pay no attention to the blatantly obvious warning signs. They will be quite happy to enter their seed on some shady website. They will be quite happy to send all their details, a selfie, and copies of their passport and driver's license to a complete stranger. The reason these scams continue to exists is because people continue to fall for them. Same with scam ICOs. If people actually took 2 minutes to engage their brain and realise they are being conned, these scams would all disappear because they would no longer be profitable for the scammers.

Greed is an ugly emotion.

Oh definitely; and it's very very unfortunate. These types of scams wouldn't be spreading around the internet if they weren't effective. It's just quite baffling how people still fall for these scams, knowing that there has been a lot of past and present incidences already, and also knowing how bad this scam was spread(as I pointed out due to the "cripo" misspelling). Greedy is definitely an ugly emotion; but you know what's worse? Greed + ignorance. That's just 'next level'.

Wasn't this airdrop long over since December? I remembered signing up for it but was a few days late so nothing left for me.

The legitimate airdrop of blockchain.com is already a few months old yes, but this right here, what OP is reporting is a scam masquerading as the legitimate stellar airdrop, where they would ask the potential victims to login into a phishing site masquerading as the legitimate blockchain.com wallet site.

[DdmrDdmr]

The site is already showing as a malicious site on Netcraft, and as a Phishing Site on Fortinet and Kaspersky. Google Safe Browsing also gives an immediate message on my environment, and does not allow access to the site.

I often check links on the VirusTotal website (https://www.virustotal.com) just in case, although being wary and avoiding links to anything that has the slightest hint of being dodgy is the first safeguard.

I guess airdrops are a common ground for attempts as such, since they are often performed by fairly newcomers, and in addition people may drop their defences more if something is supposedly for free.

[cokroalif]

obviously it is an email from a scammer. see who sent, I often receive emails like that and I never open, just delete it

[seoincorporation]

I consider all of those links suspicious and I will not click in any.

Yes, is a identify verification hide as a giveaway. And fun to how they offer $125,000,000 as a giveaway, that's just a bait too. I like their service as a wallet, but this tricky move makes me doubt about if trust in them or not...

By the way, I don't think they have 5 million users, that's what we get if we divide $125m/$25... Is just a nasty move from what we all think was a good business.

I'm curious where the heck these scammers are getting our emails?

Yes, blockchain.com really does have this airdrop but these scammers are taking advantage of it and riding the boat for airdrop lovers.

If it sounds too good to be true it is.
Simple as that, best protection against scams.

My guess is that OP probably used his email(where he received the scam email) on some scammy crypto airdrop. I'm pretty sure most of the airdrops are just schemes to be able to collect emails from their victims.

[Obiwankenodium]

Thanks for this reminder, i did sign up for the original blockchain.com stellar airdrop. But never got theur email to get it i think, is the original blockchain.com airdrop still running/available?

The site you mention looks scammy though.

It's over. We're in the same boat, and neither of us received any email to complete the KYC.

[o_e_l_e_o]

My guess is that OP probably used his email(where he received the scam email) on some scammy crypto airdrop.

Airdrops, bounty campaigns, news sites, mailing lists, trading insider tips/analysis/help, dodgy exchanges, dodgy web wallets, dodgy forums, dodgy gambling sites, cloud mining sites, the list goes on. I have never received a crypto phishing email because I don't give away my email address to scammy sites/people like these.

The answer is simple - if you don't want your data (not just email) to be sold or used against you, then stop giving it away.

[HOD55]

Just proceed to blockchain.com and don't go with any suspicious link that also tells they are giving an airdrop for stellar.

[icalical]

I also received that email, I already know that it is obviously a scam when I saw the sender of the email they use yahoo mail stellar.official@yahoo.com. And then a few days after that I also received almost the same email, but this one it is hydro coin giveaway, it also use yahoo mail, the do the same it almost the same way, the word choice etc.

I was afraid that that would happen as i signed up a bit late for the airdrop. Too bad, it was a nice one value wise.

[IstominkA]

I received 3 different emails about Stellar airdrop, lol)

[Adriano2010]

I only joined the Stellar airdrop i see from ads on some website, but the main problem is that blockchain info can't verify my identity, and when i get last mail to upload again some docs, the link was expired and blockchain info (com) not answer to support ticket.

Anyone here get Stellar airdrop on blockchain com ?

Sir, I just joined some bounty campaign who collect emails, I guess scammers use those spreadsheets.

This is a good warning and i believe this must be spread to the whole forums sections to warn people who support stellar though i think this is an obvious phishing site or scam when stellar will be needing google form to log in,and most specially importing key and password is a bullsh*t .

I received 3 different emails about Stellar airdrop, lol)

This is a clear example that we must not trust airdrops again lol 😂

Thanks for info. I wouldn`t participate in bounty with open email info)

[chenille]

It should be common sense to have a detailed proof for every suspicious mail you receive. If you don't have ordered a mail or expected to get messaged it is possibly a scam. Furthermore, I won't submit any private keys anywhere because it is just not necessary to enter private keys for receiving an Airdrop. Therefore they are called private keys.
And KYC is also to be traded highly with caution. Lots of scammers are not succesfully anymore from their scamming attempts and they are searching for new ways to scam people. Fake airdrops where you have to enter private keys are very popular like scam KYC. My advice: don't do any KYC of ICO or Airdrops. That will help to prevent scammers of being successful.

[Hivalley]

Falling for scams such as this happens when people let their greed get the better of them,and they become enthusiastic over earning through what they never signed up for,once you receive a random email without actually signing up for anything it's most probably fraudulent and you should be wondering how your email was gotten and not how to maximize the supposed opportunity.
We've had head ups such as this and numerous warnings over time but the gullible will hardly read and put all this safety measures into practice.
Once one is simply focused on Just earning without safety,then that is being greedy and it has repercussions

I received mine week ago from the legit site blockchain.com no other site and no spreadsheet is given to receive airdrop just register on the site and verify identity and wait for another email to claim.

[bernardos]

I received mine a few days ago. I applied for the Stellar airdrop long time ago but now I have a doubt about doing the KYC. I am basically selling my personal info for $25. I dont think it is worth it, what do other people think?

[Johnzky]

This is good alarm for all those  airdrop hunters in which mostly turning into scamming or hacking,and as far as i know airdrops nowadays are just nothing but a waste of time since theres no legits coming out

Asking permission if i will share this one in other thread for more awareness to the whole community and to prevent someone for being a victim,again thanks Op

[Derkovski]

Thanks for warning! I registered in that drop but didn`t receive( I will be more careful with such emails.
