I have not opened letters for a long time if they come from those projects in which I did not participate. It’s clear that this is a fake. Everyone is trying to deceive, the main thing here is not to start reading, otherwise you can believe it, they speak too fluently.

Of course it's a scam, I like the fact that you contacted the team yourself, I hope newbies can learn from this strategy of yours, its life saving, I guess OP uses his email address in airdrops and bounties that's why spammers send scam mails to you

And this is where question comes that does our kyc information safe?
Second, I don't really give much importance to airdrops. We should be care of such ponzi schemes.
Thanks for your research and everyone should do the same to avoid losses.

I thought that every e-mail user and especially the crypto enthusiast knows that 99.9% of emails coming from strangers to his or her email box are fraudulent. It's very strange that you still believe in spam mailings in 2020.

I never trust personal emails that I never opt to subscribe, it's bad marketing and unethical, that is why Gmail is flagging these kinds of mass email services, I never bother to read the whole content I just move it to spam if it landed in my main folder and I never read anything that is on my spam unless I expect email coming from sites that I trust.

I also do the same thing as you do, if we think the site/link is not important then don't bother reading it, because it will take time and make you fooled, right now there are lots of spam links sent to hunter's bounty emails.

So do you know or use any site related to ntradingbot and how did they know your personal email? I know as long you don't click suspicion link or spam then you're safe but letting your personal email exposed to scammers and their network is still worrisome.

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.

The current airdrops are mostly scams and bullshit, I get a lot of emails similar to yours., I will ignore them and create a filter to stop them.

Its not actually new, all of these scam airdrops done by google forms (plus with ID verification) are here since 2016-2017 when many newcomers join the market looking for free earnings opportunities.  Smiley

I have not open an email in years. All the email addresses I use today are just throw away emails, unless I take the exchange seriously ten I will use my personal email. The scammer must have sent his email to a real email that is checked and its Op's email.  Somehow this scammer is very traditional because normally these days they all are just using social media accounts.

It's wise to create separate emails for Airdrops and bounties just because of scammers and spammers, sometimes you will promote the wrong projects that only aim to get your email address so that thy can start sending you trap mails and phishing mails too, be careful, I don't bother reading such mails

Not all of it is a scam. I also get a lot of spam email but I always check them because it's interesting, they only look for referrals for them. I checked the project they were informed about and it turned out to be true, they really did hold an airdrop campaign and others. But never visit the url they send to avoid phishing.

It's better not to use your main email for airdrops and other freebies shits or you'll keep spam mails like this one. And also try to verify any airdrop from official group before joining.

do not pay attention to messages sent to emails like that, because it will make you dissolve in the delusion by the urge of spam email, I get emails like that but I ignored it and immediately put it in the trash because now a variety of ways are done in order to reap the benefits from us.

You can easily recognize the scam, all of these hot emails or telegram aggresive spam messages are promoting only scams. The real and valuable projects are listed on airdrop websites like: airdrops.io, airdropking or airdropbob.  Wink

yes, and that is indeed one of the new airdrop scams today. as we have seen about how scamers launch their actions through gmail bot attacks or telegram bots. on the other hand not only with them, but for us all especially for crypto users more thoroughly and selectively before joining any project.

It is a smart decision, never to participate in any airdrop and bounty promoted via email. Most likely those are fake airdrops and scams, don't waste time with it. Just ignore those emails and continue to do research here to choose good campaigns to join

Attempts at scams are very widespread and scammers are resourceful. The first information is a questionable email and then of course the other steps. Mostly they want to get an privkey from you that scammers want to abuse.
You need to be careful not to give such information to anyone, especially not to a third party you don't know.

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.
