Hi guys,
Please find here a new fake stellar airdrop.  https://stellar.org.ph/
Some hints are literally crucials, and for a while I had the serious suspect of a legitimate airdrop, but ...

They use a fake email (it helps to detect a scam and be cautious while reading or open a link!):
stellar@spot.saint-gobain.ru

There is a link inside the mail that redirect to a fake medium page:
https://blogstellar.org/The-largest-Lumen-airdrop-up-to-date-Starting-February-14-2020/

Description of the process to claim airdrop, seems "innocent":
Quote
Access the Stellar Account Viewer claim page, where you will need to complete this simple process:
Enter your Public Key and click Confirm.

If you click on "Stellar Account Viewer" you get directly to the right page (official login page).
But if you scroll down the page and click on "I am ready"
You will get redirected to htt ps://stellar.org.ph/ another phishing/fake airdrop page.

Please be cautious with message like this, most of the times are just scams, and are not easy to detect in a first sight.

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

The page appears in red with a lot of warnings, so I think it is best to use a good browser before clicking on any links "or avoid clicking on them."
I understand that the link is scam, but isn't it strange that they requested the public key, not the private one? What will they benefit from this scam "except the site has a lot of mining viruses, and other malware"

to @op Make the link unclickable ---->htt ps://stellar.org.ph/ .

edited. Thanks.

They ask for the public key (blog post), but when you go to their airdrop page they are asking your private key.... initially it can't be appear as a scam (public key requested) but there is always a trick Sad
