This guy is also posting this scam in many boards in this forum. So my opinion is that this is a pure scam or a trap by a scammer. Because they are offering 2× return which is surely a trap. That website saying if you have 2eth that will return you another 2 eth. So don't believe this kind of scams in anywhere in crypto world.


So never fall into this kinds of traps. They are asking to connect your metamask or Wallet connect so that they can easily steal your hard earned crypto assets.
Many newcomers fall into this kinds of scams because thay aren't aware and trust without any research.

I also saw this but did not comment, its 100% scam, and this guy will likely get a ban, he choose the wrong forum to post his scam, the airdrop is not realistic and it connects to your wallet which is a big no if you are not familiar with the project, there are many schemes to scam your tokens in your metamask wallet and this is just one of them.

Anyone who believes in coin doublers in the year 2022 (soon to be 2023) will lose their money sooner or later. It might as well be sooner. It would really be interesting to conduct a social experiment where someone approaches random strangers on the street and proposes to them a similar scheme like, give me $100 and I will double your money in no time. You wouldn't find many people interested in the deal unless they are certain they can overpower the person physically if it had to come to that. I wonder why people drop their guards and can't use common sense online?!

Who would believe on a $100m airdrop this is such an unbelievable offer, if anyone takes this offer he is either a new guy in Cryptocurrency who just learned airdrop or drunk, no one will fall to this promoter who I believe is also the creator of that airdrop is so idiot that he offers that huge amount, he could get away from this scheme if he offers $100 but $100m is out of this world.

People should understand the risk of connecting their wallet to any project, you need to know the basics of Dapp, read reviews about the project that you're linking your wallet, or better create a test wallet if you are tempted to connect a wallet to an unknown project

Whilst this is a straightforward scam for us, many will fall into this kind of trap. Stories of many successful airdrops given for free are popular outside this forum. My friend is one of those lucky airdrop participants and earned $10,000 (ignored the airdropped tokens for years and she later found out in her old phone that its value had a massive increase) in a single airdrop. Many beginners started into crypto because they are empowered by these airdrop stories. And without any friends to guide them properly, they will be scammed soon if they cannot catch up with what is necessary to learn and avoid here in crypto.   

To make it safer for beginners. Stay away from airdrops unless they learn the precautions.

Scams are not moderated here, so the worst case scenario is simply negative trust.

As expected, the user is already banned https://bpip.org/Profile?id=3480193 but Bitcointalk is not the only platform where he can promote this scam platform this is very rampant on social media and other non Cryptocurrency forums, they thrive on the greed of newbies I have a lot of friends on social media like Facebook who take in every airdrop there is hoping that out of 100 airdrops they can have at least 10% with good potential, this is why scammers keep doing this scam scheme because there are many takers.

Unfortunately some of my friends got scam by this method and their NFT's and some crypto stored their has been taken away by those scammers so for people who's still aggressive enough to join must think twice at this point since wallet connecting hackings is rampant and they need to be aware so that they can avoid those possible scams that they might participate on.

This type of scams are very common but also very risky for the new users who have a very little knowledge about crypto scams. This guy should be banned and also this types of scam posters should get red trust from the DT members.

Its really risky especially if they don't do any precautionary measure to make their wallet safe and they just connect it on multiple platforms which they didn't know its safe since risk to lose all of their balances store is huge for that doings. Maybe best to scan carefully all things what we see especially if a platform is offering free tokens to avoid losing all our hard earned valuable coin in a blink of an eye.

This is a very cheap scam. How will a random user do airdrop. It can't be said a project is been promoted, in which one still have to do research about the project visiting their official sites and Social Media handle or track them on portfolio trackers to see how genuine the claimed airdrop is. A reliable airdrop promotes a project not just a random distribution of funds. Just like the very first introduced in 2014 that promoted Auroracoin. This is one of the cheapest scam I have ever encountered.

Because they are offering 2× return which is surely a trap. That website saying if you have 2eth that will return you another 2 eth. So don't believe this kind of scams in anywhere in crypto world.

These scam sites have spread a lot in the crypto arena, and there are beginners who believe in this nonsense and fall prey to scams, so I advise any beginner or new investor to stay away from these flimsy temptations, and not to connect his wallet to any site that asks him to do so if he wants to try he can create a new wallet for that, but logically there is no site or staking that can give a huge return like this from Ethereum or any other currency, only they target beginners and those who have huge capital in order to steal all the funds in their wallet after they connect their wallet and after they give these scammers the permissions that allow them to fully control the wallet and approve transactions.

[coin-investor]

This is not only being promoted here in Bitcointalk I have seen similar airdrops on many Facebook groups, Twitter, and traffic exchanges, because it is based on greed they can always attract newbies who are unaware of how this scheme works, sometimes it takes hard lessons for us to learn that we should not trust things that are too good to be true, and nothing is free here in the internet, scammers thrive on people's greed and free things.

A new scam called 'Address Poisoning' is on the rise. Here's how it works: after you send a normal transaction, the scammer sends a $0 token txn, 'poisoning' the txn history. They use an address with the same first & last few characters as the real transaction you sent; in hopes you will not check the full address, and instead copy theirs in a future txn. You can protect yourself by double-checking the full address, or by using the Address Book feature. If you need help: 'Menu > Support' in-app, or from the web: https://support.MetaMask.io - 'Start a Conversation' button, the chatbot will ask a few questions. MetaMask is self custodial, so we never have access to accounts. We try to prevent scammers from harming our users, but we can't stop everything users may choose to do with their wallets.  If you need help: https://support.MetaMask.io - click the blue 'Start a Conversation' button.

Thats the recent scam trend publish by the wallet Support

Metamask emphasizes

Since their dummy address looks so similar to yours, it's entirely possible that, the next time you need your address, you might inadvertently copy their address from your transaction history and paste it elsewhere

.
They are targeting specific people who are using transaction history to copy their address I'm surprised there are people doing this, I have my address, in a text, and in my email only my address no private keys to check if they are the same and copy paste but never anywhere in the internet, but awareness is really important if you don't want to fall victims to scammers.

Actually these scam websites are being created by the scammers targeting new users. If they didn't get victims through these websites then they wouldn't spend money to create these websites. There are many who consider others with their own experience, but they don't want to think that brand new crypto users have zero knowledge of these scams and wallets.

Although Metamask is working hard to improve and integrate the wallet with many games with web3 in the near future, security of the wallet remains a concern. Is there anything that can be done on the owner's side to secure the wallet and keep it connected?

Damn this is actually an old way to scam people, where you get this in the first place Youtube and Twitter usually have a dozen sites like this but their platform has a fast response so it won't get big.

It's like buy 1 get 1 but at the end scammer just takes away off your money, and Metamask is a very convenient wallet Im personally use it, this is a new method by using metamask. Little tip never ever approves or sends money if you don't know the sites.

Though it's an old way to scam people but in recent many people are falling in this trap. Some of new users lost their assets just by investing in this scheme. I also saw a dozens of scam like this and also saw some doubler scam where every address had been topped up. We should make more awareness among the newbies.
