Cautionary tales

Someone created a fake mirror site of the official coin TRX and then promised an "airdrop" if one transfers eth/trx into that wallet...

the fake site has exactly the same details as the legit one barring for a different domain name...

people have already lost tens of thousands to the scam, be aware of promise of free coins or airdrops

Nowadays lots of scammers are coming to the cryotocurrency world so users need to aware of everythings that they are doing.In rhis case you can avoid losing your investment by keeping separate wallets for receiving reawrds like this so you will be safe if your computer was compromised.

You are right people nowadays are want to get easy money by scamming and stealing other person's money now the internet where the person can steal your money without getting caught due to fake identity so i suggest we should be aware with this kind of tactics.

why would people do that to those people who are working very hard just to make a good living out of coins. These people are so much greedy that they need to do such things. For us hardworking people, please be very careful and vigilant in the sites and in the offers like that. Check and investigate before you join.

First thing first, never put your privatekey in somewhere else except you want to spend it like in the trusted exchanger or something. And do second or even third check in website where you want to put your private key

We do not quickly easily attracted to sites that promise airdrop, even though we know TRX is a coin that many in demand.
The point is not easy to "click" links that we do not know the origin

heard about it, sad that you can so easily lose all means, but there are ways to protect it from this, such as special browser extensions that block some sites..

The main weapon against scammers is vigilance. These traps act on inattentive, or greedy.
