And as you can see, as per the original site, the Genesis airdrop is already completed. And this criminals are clever to just interchangeably their fake websites to the real one.

But the fake website, you can check your eligibility by then connecting your wallet (that's where you gonna get trap).

There are tons of phishing websites that are targeting Celestia right now, so just be very very careful.

Hopefully no one has fallen for this scheme yet, iirc Celestia's airdrop is a recent affair so that's expected that there's going to be more phishing sites like this one popping up. I'm not familiar with Celestia though, are they a big deal right now in the crypto space that people are flocking over or am I missing something? They popped up in my X notifications so it must be a big thing.

Reported the website and continue what you're doing.

What Happened: Scam/Phishing Celestia Airdrop Website

Old members can easily figure out just by checking out the domain. Official site doesn't contain underscore, hyphen of any other special character but for new user it is difficult because they just look website template and then connect wallet. Calestia gives a very decent airdrop to many eligible users. Scammers are trying to decieve airdrop hunters but hopefully no big fund will be stolen.

Those who receive the latest news about the project and the updates that its team shared on the official social media platforms will be on the safe side. Seven hours ago, the official CelestiaOrg account retweeted one of the Keplr wallet’s tweets, stating that the claim period had already ended and that TIA coins would appear in the participants’ wallet as soon as possible Celestia mainnet launches. They also caution their communities against the phishing sites launched during this period. Therefore, whoever receives these updates first in real-time through the tweets of the project’s official account will be aware and sure that what he sees of any new schemes are nothing but lies, fraud, and deception and will refrain from connecting his wallet or opening any phishing site he comes across.

As you can see, lack of letter ^[e] on Celestia.
In both sites I opened, the difference is the term of service button on the right site which is the fake one don't have.
Thank you for the warning, we should always be careful in joining airdrop, and always separate those credentials you provide to them.

Actually scammers also using fake twitter account to promote fake sites and you will be wonder that followers is so high that one especially newbie will consider it real and additionally these twitter accounts have blue tick also. I am sure that these twitters are also hacked. Scammers promote their tweet from different accounts and maybe they buy twitter promotion and you will see these scam sites on the top of the opening page.  Below is just one example, how they promoting in twitter and trying to decieve airdrop hunters.

Still fake as the first one, this are the ways they deceive people to scam them in using their fake web address, they make ommission on the letters intentionally except if you're been careful enough to have noticed such, all these airdrops that people are shouting about are almost fake all, we should leave that for now because there's nothing beneficial in applying for them as before again, newbies only uses them to start their learning.
