I think we should not join the airdrop campaigns of the new ico projects. Because it will take a lot of time to understand and analyze these projects. I only participate in airdrop campaigns of famous projects

how could it possible to avoid scam bounty and airdrops campaign. there are too many scam airdrops that we couldn't separate from real.
thanks for sharing.
That is really true, some airdrops are really malicious, if care is not taken, you might give out your private keys so easily.
I do participate in airdrops and what i do is have two metamask wallets , one for use for airdrops and the other to transfer those airdrops to and hold.
This way the airdrop wallet is empty most of the time.

Kudos for you brother for sharing this information, it will help us a lot or specially for those newbies in cryptoworld.Thats why you should trust no one. Make sure that it is legit and make a research as well, Dont provide such private information. if you're a newbie find a mentor that is willing to answer all of your questions, provide help, recommend useful resources,
I see the ICO now too dangerous, your property can be scam at any time, you go up to find out when buying ICO
I'm a new member. Thanks for sharing the good thing.
Thank you for sharing will. I would be so careful.
If this is true then those who have read it owe you one, for giving us a fair warning. But then again, everyone should be really careful about anything that they received and used your common sense and due diligence because we all know that there are a lot of scammers in this market. They just really need that one mistake that you are going to made and then boom, they take everything from us. As for Airdrops though, to be fair there are few who's really legit but that's last year. This 2018, airdrops became a tool, I myself seeing tokens in my MEW, and I was confused at to where it came from. Just reported them as unknown or not trusted. So just be careful out there.
Thanks for sharing that information of yours!
Do you have any other experience than that? Or even a list of the scam airdrops from your experience? Thanks in advance!

This informarion aware us that even airdrop can be scam. Thank you for posting and warn us about this because eneterung private key is risky because they have chance that your wallet open by the hacker. First of all I did not join any airdrop I don't know why because even you get few token that's not have value and maybr your wasting your time.
Thanks for your kind information 
This is why i dont trust links that is given to me by an unknown party cause it might be use to steal your coins even my wallet is always empty i still want to protect such as guys like this. This is why facebook and google ban the advertisement of any altcoin/ICO/airdrop referral related links yo avoid people from getting scammed.
U have received similar emails thrice just this month of June alone. The last one was from Tron or Tronix airdrop can't fully remember the name but they were asking me to verify my Ethereum address through a provided link, which actually took me to a cloned MEW website. I just smiled and closed the webpage. I guess this is the new way of phishing private keys.
thank you for the inform , sadly people trying to make money on someones back.
It is truth that happens so avoid such scams or airdrops. Just do not fall in trap as their target is generally the newbies or people who are new and will fall in trap easily. So better in starting go through the forum and read lost of threads so that you have an idea of how to spot a scam.

This market has no room for the wrong
Good information tho, well how do we know thats the airdrop wasn't scam, because I've seen a lot of airdrops on twitter and haven't do it one of them yet, and I would like to do. So what's your suggestions for this?
It is not possible to tell an airdrop as a scam. But always make sure not to give your private key to any one and always check the url of myetherwallet before entering private key to access your account.
How is it not possible when OP himself has done it? On top of that, he didn't even need to join and be robbed in order to arrive on that conclusion so I don't get where did "It is not possible to tell an airdrop as a scam" came from?
Imo one should need an understanding of the basics of cryptocurrency as well as a tad bit of common sense in order to have a good judgement. If you're done with that, this thread should be useful https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-to-spot-scam-airdrops-4435067 (and google ofc)
