There would be no EOS airdrop because it already one of the most important and the strongest Cryptocurrency in the market today.
I really don't believe EOS would announce their airdrop, for what? They already earned the position as of the top altcoins in the market and would never give their tokens to the public for free.
There's another ICO today that is called EOZ, maybe that ICO will give away free tokens through airdrop.

Well that is something new , so they now try to trick us with fake site which is not MEW then direct us from it to the scam in MEW but with the wrong contract address .  People really need to be careful most of the scams happening is coming from emails .

I will tell you guys something might be useful , When you get an email with important news about a token you own just close your email go to the social media channel of this token or the website and see if there is something really happening . That what I always do .

It is amazing how many users thanked Op for his thread , and now one gave him any Merit .   BTW that is what Merit for ( thanking someone for useful thread or to show him/her that your liked  his/her  thread )  Wink

That is sick,i dont understand how they get that domain name because its impossible to have that s .The oginal website and the copy has almost the same contents,it should be reported to the domain registrar so the copycat website would be take down for good,a lot of people find ways to get what they want and this is the firstime i have seen domain names like that,but thanks for the warning.

Clone phishing
Clone phishing is a type of phishing attack whereby a legitimate, and previously delivered, email containing an attachment or link has had its content and recipient address(es) taken and used to create an almost identical or cloned email. The attachment or link within the email is replaced with a malicious version and then sent from an email address spoofed to appear to come from the original sender. It may claim to be a resend of the original or an updated version to the original. This technique could be used to pivot (indirectly) from a previously infected machine and gain a foothold on another machine, by exploiting the social trust associated with the inferred connection due to both parties receiving the original email.

There is a new EOS airdrop.
It's a telegram airdrop and google form to fill ETH and telegram username:

Quote

Doesn't seem like a scam, but they are giving away 5 EOS.

Anyone knows about it?

The form was removed and Telegram group renamed in "EOS Info" and emptied.
Seems suspicious. Almost 26k ppl joined the group.
let's see, what they do.
Don't follow links posted in such groups.

These scammers make use of the idea that people want to get something for nothing, so don't just click on the link from any website, because it might steal your all money.

It would make no sense for EOS to hold any sort of airdrop because that would be scamming the previous investors out of their money by inflating the supply of the coin that has been sent out for no cost.

Also, I'm sure that EOS wants to raise a lot more money than just giving it away via an airdrop.

Thanks for letting us know. It's an obvious one. These phishing emails are really common these days, don't ever click on anything until you verify the sender is legitimate and you've done your reasearch.

Thank you for the heads up. Recently, I got a lot of scam emails like this. Don't know how did these scammers get my email and my name.
I`m also receiving countless phishing emails and I suspect the reason is an airdrop registration or even a bounty registration (unfortunately, I took part in a scam ICO managed here, on Bitcointalk). Luckily I haven`t used my primary email for this.

very good choice, it's a good practice to have differents emails in order to avoid scams emailings affect primary and most important email accounts

Can someone explain this?  Sad

that if you click the link in the email you are redirected on myetherwallet original site with a smart contract prepared to steal tokens from your etherwallet wallet


Thank you OP. Reading about scammed people makes me sad and that's why I think most people are skeptical about cryptos. There's nothing to do against those scammers? Nobody can stop them?
scam in cryptoworld is the same of a scam in real world, there are always a lot of thieves that try to steal what is yours. the only way to stop them is be aware of much as possible and be informed and first of all share and invest time in sharing with the community and with newbies all that you know.

only if we learn to share we can build a great community and make cryptoworld a safe and healthy place.

you can obviously detects if the the airdrop was scam or true because the official telegram group of each project will announce if their having an airdrop or not and most important thing dont give some eth or donation because AIRDROP are free

Anyway thanks for your information. I think people must see carefully for what they click, research and ask about the website validity.
Too much Phising and Scam Website come with absurd name. Example like you share, also Bitcointalk.to (It's phising site!)

thank you for sharing this information with me, I hope with this information will make the crypto to be more careful in following a crypto project especially airdrop, if want to make a good future investment, I suggest to the crypto to invest in daneel project .io, only 10 days left, ICO daneel will finish, immediately join and make profit as much as possible. www.daneel.io

Daneel project is good choice to invest in ico project. Its first idea based on AI.
However, i always stay away from airdrop because its more scam rather than legit. So i will stay away
