Avoiding airdrop scams
Airdrop Scam is getting common these days and many scammers are trying to take advantage of people who are looking for crypto airdrops..
If you want to prevent yourself from becoming a victim of an airdrop scam then you need to always investigate your sources where you got the information about the airdrop, make sure your source/ sources are reliable and they have past history of informing you about legit airdrops only....make sure they are always informing you about airdrops that are reliable.
Secondly whenever an airdrop is requiring you to enter your private key then stay away from such airdrop because it is obviously not a genuine offer , no genuine airdrop will ask you for your passwords or private keys..
Though many airdrops will require for your personal information which could include your email address or phone number etc. But you need to verify if the airdrop is genuine or not so that you will not fall into the trap of scammers who might use your identity for criminal motives.
Crypto airdrops are a good way to earn cryptos for free but we also need to be careful and ensure we do not get involved with fake airdrops that will just waste your time and probably even get you scammed..

Good post ! I would also suggest setting up a different email address for each one, and also avoiding any airdrops where they ask you to pay an up-front fee for any reason.
It's the same as phishing emails are, i guess...
sounds at least the same! 👂
