This is very illogical in the first place.
You want to get the airdrop which is usually small amount, and must send coin first ? Then the airdrop reward will be minus!
This phishing is worse than the one who ask your private key to receive airdrop.

I often find sites like that and I also often remind some of my friends to always be careful when looking at airdrops like this, and I also advise friends to participate in airdrop on bitcointalk

That's why I always bookmark the crypto related important sites on the browser and I never use Google for finding the exchange. Google can be uses for advertising the scam phishing sites and so many people are trapped there easily thanks to Google...
I wonder how google allows that,they probably have the best AI to easily sieve out phishing sites and warn users of such potential risks.Somehow they don't.It is sad really

They just have to pay the money to get that advertising spot and nothing else. Google doesn't reviews nor they do in case of applications in Play store. The only way is to find them and send a report if you find something suspicious or malicious.

You can't do anything about it nor they will do anything to change it as long as they are making quick bucks.

I never believe the advertisement from facebook, scammer not only target on cryptocurrency, normal shopping ads also can't trustable. This ads target is cryptocurrency newbies, they don't know it's real or fake. I'm advice newbies learn basic cryptocurrency knowledge before investing, if not you will loss more than that.

Always be vigilant and don't fall for such giveaways. Check and validate if its from the official account of the exchange.
This happened many times and they will even ask you for a deposit but sadly your money won't be deposited back to you because their main purpose is to scam depositors. Avoid such phishing sites.

Sometimes, some of these airdrop might not ask you to pay directly, but that you should login your wallet through your private key, which is most times scam.
Some people have fallen victim of something of that nature, before they could learn their lessons.
We should not all wait until that happens. A post like this from the OP, can be of great help to lots of people.

Damn! Any airdrop asking one to pay is scam. Also, I usually advise crypto enthusiasts, don't just click any random site you come across,  some will even install spyware to your device. Some sites will ask noobs for private key or keystore, in a bid to hack their wallets. Let's be guided please.

This is essentially for those who are new to the space, that they do not fall prey to cheap scams. The above ad seem to be very popular on facebook, a mimic, requesting you to fill the form and make some deposits to claim your rewards. That's is the scam part. The legit site is https://www.coinmama.com/ and NOT coinmama.com.ru. I am sure those who made deposit will not get anything  out of it as it obviously mimicking another popular site. Just be careful.
Any contrary opinion is welcome for discussion pls.
