I’m aware of this since the day I started joining airdrops as many person are using my public email address in a potential investors list.

First sign that this email isn’t good for you and may contend harmful links then look at the sender.

Second your instincts usually do the trick, you can feel danger and don’t ignore it.

Last you must do is open it, report as spam or delete it. That’s what I been doing for a year now.

Airdrops are not just airdrops now a days as they do ask to join telegram/twitter and the registering to their site or submitting an email or white-listing email or anything similar to that must be done in order to qualify for airdrops. In my opinion an airdrop should be performed just by submitting their addy  or ERC-20 enabled ETH addy in the case of token's airdrop.

When people start ignoring multi-procedure involved airdrops, then devs will come down with those complications. When airdrops are just a simple step procedure then we never need to worry on their scam or not. Because we may lose just our 2 minutes in most of the case and nothing more.

Today i received an email

"The Anatomia Token distribution is now live for all verified users.
So far, we have officially distributed tokens to over 10,000 verified users.

If you haven't received your 10,000 ATOM tokens, complete your KYC verification process now to claim your tokens.

Complete KYC

Please note that the KYC verification process will be discontinued in 5 days.
Exchange listings are currently being scheduled by our team to make sure ATOM gets listed in mid-July.


Best regards,
Anatomia Team."

If you click the link , a form will open. There you will find a link to sign message with myetherwallet. This link is not real myetherwallet. ie  it is myetherwàllėt    CAREFULLY see the dots in characters.

It is a SCAM. Be careful before you enter your private key in any website.

Indeed, there are so many scam projects right now and we have to be vigilant and secure our investments. From Bounties to Airdrops, you just can't trust directly because some are just scams so just a piece of advice to have background check of a certain project before joining gor us to be safe. Good luck!

Mostly email like that is 100% scam, input our private key? Lmao it's a joke there, don't ever input your private key there because it's 100% pure scam. I also received that email about airdrop things, email like that usually are spam and scam. Never trust that shit.

First of all avoid airdrops in these days most of the airdrops giving us worthless token or never pay us so we are wasting our time with them.So find some good bounty and participate there you will get some decent earnings for your hardwork.

And to avoid these kind of prolems we better keep separate MEW account for airdrops rewards so incase if we get robbed our valuable tokens will safe in our primary account.

Thanks to this thread so we all aware of the scam airdrops.Specially to new in this kind of work so thank you for the thread starter.

Ok our concern is to aware every one not only for newbie but for all of us.We must take a resposibility to take care of our wallet and our earning because doing bounty is not that simple we all take time and effort to make our every week task. so this is it we must read this for our safety.

1. We must look for the address 3 times to make sure it is real and if the website is secured you must look for the luck icon on address bar.
2. Dont put your wallet password or your account password if the website ask for this unless you are sure that the site is real.
3. Search the info of the site or airdrops before you participate on the airdrops.
4. Dont give your password on any kind of spreadsheet and if someone on telegram asking for this or in other website.
5.Read  carefully the terms of the airdrop or bounty. thats all we must make our selve secured from those scammers.

This is a good information for users who are always participating in airdrops.

Be careful in clicking the links provided from your email even it seems legit, its important to always check before giving the necessary information if you dont want to lose your hard-earned coins to scammers.
Yeah, don't just get fooled by the rewards you'll get from that airdrop. Always think that airdrops nowadays are pure of scam, so better to be safe. Don't sacrifice your personal details for a small amount, stay safe and better to work on bounty campaign which is more profitable.

Thank so much for your warning.
I see that now have a lot of SCAM Airdrops, they are trying to collection information of people who are joining in crypto market even some Scam Airdrops try to steal private key of MEW wallet. So we should careful when joining to a airdrops, we should keep away airdrops which ask us KYC or provide private key.

To check myetherwallet closely, many swindlers are forging myetherwallet website in order to swindle our private key!
If you accidentally disclose your private key, you lose your wallet and you lose your cryptocurrency!
