Thanks, these warnings are very useful to protect the community from too many scammers. In fact, we would need here on Bitcointalk a category of posts dedicated just to signalling scams which are appearing in the crypto-space and which must be avoided.

I think I have something like that, I guess joined to many airdrop have this kind of effect lol. For today I always check the link twice and if I am not sure I will manually search the email mentioned airdrop on google.

Thanks for the information. I hope not to fall into trap. I saw this airdrop but I don't remember if I subscribed it or not. I have decided not to enter airdrops anymore. Maybe somebody earns from airdrops but I havent earned anything yet, also I have lost too much time.

I got scammed on this. They drained my MEW of $16,000 in coins.

Anyone knows what happens if the contract is executed? or is it just fishing for private keys.

Your coins go into their wallet. I don't think there's anyway to get them back, like you can't undo the contract. If anyone does know how though, I'd surely appreciate your help.
hi I am very sorry....

when you deploy a contract you are assuming that the party you deal with is legit and the process is one way, you can't come back.

sorry man

If you receive an email saying:

BREAKING: EOS Devs Announce Massive Airdrop

beware!

is a scam very well performed that will link you to a fake coindesk site
original:
https://www.coindesk.com/
fake with the :
https://www.coindeṡk.com/EOS-halves-token-amount-for-blockone-leaves-tokens-to-be-claimed/

that link you to a mywtherwallet veryfied page with a contract ready to be deployed

beware because scammers know that all of us wants free coins!
ALL GREED MUST BE AWARE OF THIS..those kind of users that being victimized by this kind of scams are those whos always looking for free without doing anything..greed will lead us to failure better change that attitude,because everything that we earned must came from our labor or works.

That's one reason I stopped joining airdrops except from the ICO I am joining, but if they don't give airdrops then it's fine with me, I don't want to waste my effort joining those craps, I've learn my lesson.

Thank you for providing information on fraudulent schemes, this is very useful for everyone. Of course, I long ago learned to be suspicious of the letters of "happiness", but sometimes you want to take part in the easy money.
