Broken English should be first red flag.

Broken English should be first red flag.

Exactly right. I love how the person who wrote it is a completely illiterate scumbag. He claims to be part of the support and ends the email by thanking himself and his support team. "Thank you for your attention Stellar Support!" 

Unfortunately, many people don't have the required language skills to notice anything wrong in this ripoff attempt. But they should at least ask themselves: Hey, why is a legit company emailing me about their airdrop? Wouldn't they already be neck deep in checking applications?

This is a stale scam for professionals but novice with little or no knowledge about airdrop scam can fall for this, the email could contain malware and can be used to collect personal details which can lead to other scam attacks like impersonations. We should always avoid such email scam and it is getting common in today's world.

It saddens my heart when people falls for airdrop scam through unverified email address. We shouldn't open a link that we're not sure of the source just for a few bucks, whether legit airdrop or not. Airdrop worth no such risk at all

[Negotiation]

The new airdrops are now considered scams but if we verify the sites properly the number of scams is less There are a lot of new airdrops that are very good but we need to check the mails well Try to stay away from KYC. In the case of the airdrop it is necessary to analyze the information of the person well and know its source Never click on referral links. These links are more scammed  Only then will we be able to survive the scams from the new airdrops.

This is the new method for scammers to fish some information to their participant to hack their exchanger accounts and other important details so new people take extra precautionary measure about this since this is serious matters, Airdrop scam creates many victims for the past years so we should be more aware on this schemes.

The writing makes me laugh, idk how people fall for it. Oh wait, greed blinds I guess.

Scammers and their ways of thinking baffles me. They don't seems to relent, always looking for new ways to carryout their plans and I wonder what makes them think that people will easily fall for such email scam. However, whether through email, untrusted apps or not the things still remains that everyone should be careful of the type of messages they receives and how they approach it. Also, one fact about airdrops is that, the platform in question confirms of it while having trusted hands who will manage it.

This is the consequence of using email to sign up for airdrops and bounty. I personally am in the same situation, every day I receive more than 20 spam emails about investments and new projects in this market. It was my mistake to use the main email to sign up for previous airdrop campaigns

[Marble777]

good job my friend, i also receive emails like that and many more junk emails about airdrop using the names stellar, libra, covid19, binance, and send eth cashback 2x. I ignored them because it included a spam attack or a scam project.

Obviously our information has been stolen or sold when participating in a previous bounty or airdrop. I also get hundreds of emails like this every day, spam and scammer are always with us, so we need to be really careful with every activity in this market.

[Mealea]

It is getting worse by the day. Too many scam airdrop in the space now. So many scammers trying to take advantage of a good project to scam innocent people. My advice is that everyone should be very careful about jumping to everything that look like an opportunity.

this is not a new way because it's been a long time since the airdrop scam sent us emails, even when they didn't participate in the airdrop they sometimes wrote that if we were the first winner, it was very strange and absurd. therefore I have never trusted the message received via email

[suryapro]

this is good information for us all, but frankly I never respond to the arrival of the email, if indeed I have never followed program from the sender of email. because based on information from a number of friends in this forum, precisely scamer sometimes takes information from the email that we click

[patz22]

i always receive this kind of email and it came from different email address so I automatically mark it as spam and but of course, if someone is just new and doesn't know that it is a scam, for sure, many users will be scammed by these people so good thing that there is a thread like this so that newbies will be aware of it.

In cryptocurrencies there are lots of scam airdrops coming these days. If you don't have added your email id in a group then there are some people who add and then give airdrops to your email id. Some airdrops are charging some eth to receive their coin. If you received that coin then their market price will be lower then you paid fees to them. some bots airdrops have not recovered their data properly. In that regard L2L coin airdrop has not paid everbody their coin even I don't get coin after working all activities.so it is very difficult to find legit airdrops These days. Be aware of these scammers.

actually the way to send reports to participants via email by providing a link has often been done not only by airdrop, but is often used by people who often take our data that can eventually drain the assets in wallet. Don't open any of the links provided via email because most are scams. airdrops now can not be trusted because it can drag us to the worst until we are finally considered violating the rules set at BTT. it's better to be more careful following the airdrop.

Now many airdrop scamer through sending from e-mails and I often get messages like that, obviously this is an airdrop scamer that continues to spam e-mails that they have chosen to send so that beginners will be stuck with the seduction.

[Pirate Bits]

I almost called in one recently, it was a fake stellar telegram group with almost 20k of users inside and the server was promoting afake xlm airdrop bot, I think only to steal some data, a few days after I join it the server was officially market as fake.

[raidarksword]

Good point on posting this new airdrop scam warnings especially to those new to crypto industry. These scammers never given up to find people to victimize in this industry and i find them very hard working in a bad way of course.  I assumed they got emails from fake airdrops they made and start sending to people thru emails in another way to scam people again. Without a doubt, i also received these kinds of spam and scam emails until now and they only wasting their time because i am not easy to be fooled no more.
