They'll tell you that if you give them 1 ETH, they'll return you 6 ETH. Keep in mind, never believe these kinds of projects. None of any projects will repay you this much investment. All the footage or pictures are collected from many seminars and documentaries. Never send any funds to these addresses. They'll never give you back the given funds.

Many of us are seeking free crypto from airdrops and bounties. I also work in airdrops and bounties.
 Nowadays, many scammers try to scam from airdrops and bounties. Keep in mind that if any airdrop requires your id or password or any personal information that normally other airdrop does not require, keep distance from that airdrop. I saw a couple of airdrops ask the seed phase of your metamask; here, I only want to say that never share your seed phrase with any person.  
Another frequent scam that bounty scammers. If you go to the country section on Bitcointalk, you will see many bounties out there. But most of them are now fake. Even yesterday, a bounty program named Dope Doge was scammed. They refuse to run the project. So, choose the right project before the marketing project. Example: https://imgur.com/Uoxovk7

Now many dust BSC20 tokens are created, These tokens are given to users freely, but when you try to exchange them, it shows an error.

A couple of months ago, a scammed happened in Metamask; hackers put a code in the extension. When any user opens the metamask, you require a seed phrase for login. Many peoples lost their funds for sharing their seed phrase. After some minutes, Metamask apologizes for these bugs. We can learn that never share your seed phrase if even the company wants it from this misfortune. Only enter your seed phrase while logging in to a new device.
