The scammers in the crypto community will not cease to take cheap advantage of newbies using successfully conducted projects to scam them.

Whenever there is a new trending in the crypto world, scammers will always take the opportunity to scam these newbie and poor investors.

Don't fall for it. It's a scam.

To be honest, its easy to determine which giveaways are scam and which are not. This is just one of the common ways that scammers are using to scam people. What's worse is that even this way has been using for many times, there are still investors who are falling into this. For the investors, at least make some research and make a basis that will help you determine which projects/giveaways are scam or not.

It's awful that scammers are taking advantage of the uniswap airdrop to deceive people towards thinking that there's more freebies to be given by uniswap. No legit giveaway would ask for something in return. Its quite unfortunate that no matter how we talk about these things, people will still fall victims for this cheap scam.

I also think this way because cryoto scammers would likely have to do such things like this. As UNI got to fame, scammers would take this opprtunity to make such campaigns and airdrops that involves UNI to get people's attraction. I think we should really be carefull on what we are joining, if is is legit or scam, everyone could be a victim.

What else is new, they (scammers) have been into it since the market has gotten bigger. Not only do airdrops they usually do ICO with having almost the same name of certain successful project like uniswap (mooniswap) with almost the same features and concept in their platform.

Yes, everyone should watch out for the token name which is almost similar, because scammers have played this strategy for a long time when the ICO project experienced many scams in the past, so don't let us all get stuck on the old scammer strategy.

Here are some fake UNI swaps giveaways or bounty airdrop caught by our members posted in Scam Accusations board:

[Scam]: Another Fake UNI airdrop
[SCAM Alert] Uniswap fake airdrop and phishing websites.
[SCAM Alert] 10,000,000 UNI Fake Giveaway
[SCAM] UNI giveaway
[SCAM] Fake Uniswap giveaway

So for those noobs, I suggest you check that board first before even thinking of giving your money to these scammers.

I already expected to have a scam related offers connecting to uniswap since investors profited on their recent giveaways.

Its not new to have such scam but some of us might bite the offer for the hope of getting a profit too.

So always verify if the giveaways are legit to not become a victim of scammers.

I am not surprised to see a fake giveaway because that is already happening for a long time, and a few years ago when ICO has exploded, many giveaways trying to attract people to join.
Usually, they give a big reward that does not make sense because they want to use people's curiosity to get the reward by doing an easy task.
Uniswap, as the new project already success attracts people to use their platforms, makes the scammers want to use the moment to benefit them.
The scammers will use their way to invite people to come to their project, and they will promise to give another big reward to people.
Just to remind you, if the reward is too big to be good, you should be careful, and you need to search for other news.

There are a lot of fake airdrops on Telegram that offer you DeFi tokens for simple actions, for example, fill out a Google Form with the Eth address and Telegram name, after filling out you are asked to send a little Eth to create a liquidity pool on DEX most often they do not have a token contract address. If you are asked to submit to Eth, they are scammers, do not believe them.

Beware of anybody offering to give away anything, whether that be cryptocurrencies, information, or practically anything else for that matter.

Giveaways and get rich quick schemes are some of the most popular ways to scam and there are innumerous different variations of scams out there looking to separate crypto holders from their funds.

Don't trust. Verify.

The cryptocurrency industry is basically a gauntlet for the uninitiated, plenty of clever scammers out there lying in wait for the next idiot to come along.

This method is often used by scammers to deceive cryptocurrency users, especially new investors. In addition, the project has recently grown rapidly and many active traders at Uniswap have received large prizes without spending money claiming UNI tokens. and this of course can be used as a means of fraud by irresponsible parties.

I see UNII name have given airdrop just to registered in the website they are hoping that it will became the same things as the real uniswap . But the truth is they are just using by developer to earn money from created tokens and give fake hope to any one that will receive that tokens.

That's right, sometimes even smart people can be fooled just because of their greedy "thing". Many people still lack self-control so they can't think clearly or just do their own research. Even though they do little research is more valuable than having to lose assets due to carelessness.

Losing assets due to carelessness is very ridiculous, especially if that person already has a lot of experience in crypto, it is really unfortunate that this can happen because some smart scammers are still able to fool.

I believe that many cryptocurrency users are expecting an opportunity that will provide them with the same opportunity as in 2016 and 2017, thanks to which they can get very fast and large profits. It is this situation that scammers actively use, without even bothering themselves, copying the White Paper of others to the project in order to create their own fraudulent act that would attract investment funds. Therefore, you need to be at least a little careful so that scammers do not steal your funds.

Luckily the scam report has been published otherwise the scammer will get a bigger profit, everyone has to stop the greed of not being able to control yourself as if you will get a new UNI token. Listen, before joining the airdrop, first verify the official group on telegram.

Scammers are now very busy to using the hype of Uni token to scam. Already many newbies may have fallen into the trap of these scammers, the main reason being that many did not get free tokens and now they are trying to get those tokens in various ways which is putting them in danger. Newbies should control their greed and use their thinking power to take the next step.

After the UNISWAP party ended, a new attack with various tactics to deceive the victims. especially through a kind of UNI giveaway, send back ETH to claim UNI, UNI bot telegram and many more. This seems trivial, but in this case there are still many people who are happy to even send ETH just to get UNI tokens. even though the party was over!

I do not understand why people jump on any chance to make free money when it is so obvious that free money is not something that is given out to people that easily normally. I mean surely you have to realize that bitcoin is quite expensive and all the other cryptos worth something as well, which means if people promise you free money, they must be making something in return as well, did you assume that they are so rich that they wanted to share their wealth with the world or something? Are they donating this money to people who are in need?

Usually people who missed the previous "moment" will be hooked on the scams created by scammers taking advantage of market hysteria. So that the obvious scam facts they will ignore in order to get the "miracle" profit. You see, lots of new airdrops have sprung up with names similar to the suffix "swap", lol.
I always say, we can imitate the strategies of other people, but not with luck. So seek your own luck by working hard and learning more so you don't get caught up in panic and deception.

It's true because Uniswap Fomo is still ongoing and some people who don't get airdrops from Uniswap will be tempted and forget about whether it's true or not, if it is true it should be easy to avoid considering there are many scam promos like this.
and also many threads have been created to avoid scamer.

Literally it is nowhere near that, there is no way that we could consider it free money like that, it is just a free money that traps you there and asks for something so that they could get that worth back from you if they can.

Since this UNISWAP becomes like a trend right now when I heard that there is an airdrop happening, just to tell other people that some giveaways would like email you to claim your rewards already in their site. This happens often if you filled up some form.
When you manage to land to some somehow "modified" wallet site like MEW, close that tab/window because it is an attempt to steal your private keys as well.

Here's the link:

Try to look at the medium page published on the Reddit post, you will see that the account is suspended and under investigation. As far as I know, Uniswap has no medium account. In this day and age where people can easily imitate everything, we must be aware some of those giveaways are not specifically made to be advantageous. Don't entrust them with your private information, especially about your funds. Usually, with that kind of account, those who comment are just bots or people that were paid to leave a good review, so that they can attract people to join. To be sure, take a good look at when the account was created.

It's not a giveaway if they ask for money! Scammers ask you to send some money in return they will give you more, they
say to unlock the funds. It's a scam, and I am not sure how they trick people into sending them money. It's just one trick that
scammers use, but there are other tricks too. Scammers are getting better, and they have better masks, nowadays people should
be extra careful with money, with whom they talk on the internet, and above all when they send money to make sure they double

Just curious, how are they scamming people then? All they are saying is that they are giving away under unisawp. How are they stealing? Are they telling people to pay or give something to enter the giveaway? If that is the case, then only stupid/dumb people will fall for those kind of scam. I mean, its the most common way of scamming people and they should know it.
If its like they are asking for completing KYC or submitting identity documents, then people should avoid those. Not worth selling your documents for some shit giveaway.

They should at least know that once a team asks for money in return of tokens, that is surely a fake and scam ones. UNISWAP is being famous even in social media, they are tons of advertisements.

Others are already benefitted from this and sell off it at $5 to $7 with tons of holdings and rewards from airdrops. I was late from buying at low price but others were legitimately got a huge return from this uniswap.

The scammers are pretty clever to actually use this recent airdrop to scam greedy newbies. But to be honest, how do people fall for this? Isn't it common sense to not send money to anyone especially to someone you don't know? But the harsh reality doesn't want us that. A lot of people who use UNI doesn't even know Bitcointalk and probably won't read this thread.

They will give that example to promote their project and because of the success that it took and the people loved it.

This is a timely and accurate warning, there are several airdrops of Uniswap everwhere on twitter, telegram airdrop groups and even emails. Be careful and do not share your private with anyone. Also, do not click any links in your email from uniswap. Uniswap will never send you an email.

Stay vigilant, and be jealous of your wallet.
Always dyor before joining any airdrop campaign.

Scammers will always try their best to rekt those naive users. Don't trust anyone if they are already asking your private keys. If it is legit, they will never ask your private keys or passkeys. But there will be people who will fall on this trap for the thought that they will still get more. But the opposite will happen. Once these scammers got a hold of your wallet, there's no turning back, they will rip your funds as much as they can.

The scammers in the crypto community will not cease to take cheap advantage of newbies using successfully conducted projects to scam them.
A team of scammers are at it again using the name of UNISWAP to conduct a fake giveaway to steal from the unsuspecting newbies. The giveaway is announced through a medium post claimed to be UNISWAP's with other scam team members commenting to give testimonies about what they've earned from the giveaway to attract people to be their victims. A check on Uniswap Twitter and telegram channel doesn't contain anything about the giveaway. Don't fall for it. It's a scam.

These UNISWAP scamming issue is also similar to the rave of the moment of De-Fis project some this so-called projects had been so hyped that many newbies fell for it, its quite unfortunate that some scrupulous individuals are now using cryptos to fraud people in the of giveaway such as this UNISWAP these are like bait used to attract the gullible newbies with bogus bonuses.
I think there is need to create more awareness about these fraudulent activities going out there, else newbies funds will continually stolen.

SmartFi - EARN, LEND & TRADE

One of the important things to understand is, scammers leverage a moving trend or hype to scam people. Before it was Defi hype, wherein many projects sprung up with no verifiable use case, hence riding on the hype created already by other Defi projects just to scam unsuspecting investors. Now they have moved to Uniswap to continue from where they stopped and it will continue that way because most people are easily moved and deceived into believing most giveaways since a good number of them comes with mouth-watering rewards capable of blinding the greedy ones.
So in all, let's be careful of whatever these scammers brings up all in the name of giveaways and so on, checking the project's twitter page, telegram group etc will go a long way in identifying the truth.

If you have the complete detail, then start a scam accusation presenting the details and the medium article you came across and then users might be thinking twice before giving the scammers the opportunity. I find it hard to understand the new DeFi giveaways and the swaps, i saw that uniswap was giving away thousand of dollars worth of coins to anyone who used their application, but what i am curious to know is who all from this forum got these tokens and how you came to know about the project and how to look for new projects like these and how to avoid fakes.

I think people who have already claimed the big airdrop do not need to be greedy to chase scam giveaways now.
I have seen people who were liquidity providers making a killing amount of free UNI absolutely free.
If you are in this space for few months im sure you will not fall for scam giveaways because it is like everyday thing in this market.

Legit giveaways don't ask any money,when someone ask money from us then its easy to find them as scammers.Probably there will be new projects with the same prototype so they can lure people legitimately.

At the moment there are dozens of scammers especially i see many fake and scam airdrop bots now that claim to be giving away defi tokens but they act as taking your data and infact you can lose your assets in your wallet. So be very careful and check the authenticity of each amd every offer that is presented to you to stay safe.
