The number of scammy airdrops just seems to increase on a daily with these people inventing new ways to defraud unsuspecting victims. It's truly appaling, there are fewer legitimate airdrops with most just farming people's details to use for malicious purposes.
As long as we do research before participating in airdrop and bounty, I believe you will avoid scam projects like that. Everyday I also get a lot of promotional emails like OP, but just ignore it and everything will be fine

good that you detected a new airdrop scam, for sure many crypto users will fall for this scam because it looks legitimate stellar airdrop. I hope that they do research first before to join airdrop because 90% airdrops are scam nowadays.
Why do you think they are legal ? if you stay in this market long enough, just look at their website, you will know if they are scam or not. To me this is one of the bullshit airdrops and can easily identify them as scams right from the first check

Yes, I completely agree with your opinion on this topic, nowadays many people have been doing such kind of scams on a daily basis. That's why we have to keep a distance from such malicious mail, we simply have to ignore such kind of mail to avoid being part of their scammy airdrops. And if anybody wants to join airdrop then they have to join their official group before joining the airdrop.

I got countless of Airdrops like that in my email address but I don't bother to check them out because I've know about spammers and scammers since 2010, I knew what phishing mails looks like, I only click on mails I am expecting to land in my email

It good to hear that but it will be very kind of you if you can open a thread and share your experience about how to identify phish email in the beginners and help section because there still some people out there who are a victim of this activity everyday which is the reason why i create this thread in the first place.
Meanwhile, I'm locking this thread since there's nothing much to talk about here.
