Airdrop is not a charity, but a marketing game. You will not be given a fortune. A nice bonus is needed in order to attract you to the platform and stimulate your activity. And yes, in most cases this is a great option to get acquainted with a new project and have a small start-up capital.
What should be remembered?
Airdrop is always free. Absolutely. An attacker may ask you to buy a certain amount of coins and promise that you will be given even more after the purchase. It won’t happen. The scammer may also ask to “unlock” the tokens for a fee or “repurchase” an airdrop at a discount. Of course, you will not get any bonuses, and the money will be lost.
Trust only verified sources. A well-known crypto project will definitely notify about the airdrop on the official website and in confirmed social networks. There are no “secret distributions for insiders that accidentally leaked to the internet”, you should not trust such posts in advertising telegram channels.
Never share passwords, wallet keys or other personal information with anyone. A scammer disguised as a tempting airdrop can steal personal information in order to take over your wallet. Public data is always enough to transfer tokens, and everyone who asks for private keys wants to deceive you.
Sometimes scammers use their own tokens, the names of which are very similar to the names of well-known cryptocurrencies. Read all terms and conditions carefully and doublecheck the information.
If you are asked to follow a dubious link or install a “special program”, then be sure that this is malware. To securely transfer tokens within the framework of the promotion, nothing is required other than a public key.
