Phishing sites are becoming more common on the net and they are the most dangerous because they collect all sensitive information such as passwords and seeds, so it is always better to avoid airdrops that request wallet connection.

Most of high class Airdrop like Aptos, Optimism ask for Wallet connect. If airdrop hunter skip these airdrops then he should not join any airdrop. it will better to connect new wallet instead of leaving because there is no risk in new wallet and always disconnect site when you finished your work.

If anyone has connected main wallet with many sites and now want to revoke all then I think you should use Revoke cash. I find it very Very helpful.

Thank you for the warning, yes this tool Revoke cash is very useful.

Airdrops are the most popular way to attract victims because people like to get free coins easily, scammers are taking advantage of popular names like decentralized exchanges to attract victims. Therefore, you should always check the official websites before connecting any wallet.

Phishing sites are becoming more common on the net and they are the most dangerous because they collect all sensitive information such as passwords and seeds, so it is always better to avoid airdrops that request wallet connection.

It is a common mistake that some people use the same username and passwords of exchanges or other important sites when subscribing to airdrops, so it is very necessary when subscribing to airdrops to create a new empty wallet and a new email because they also steal passwords.

If anyone has connected main wallet with many sites and now want to revoke all then I think you should use Revoke cash. I find it very Very helpful. My wallet was connected to many sites and some sites and many sites used allowance. It's mean these sites can spend my Token anytime without any new permission. I revoked all sites especially Bsc network because most of scammers target Bsc network.
This project also available on Gitcoin grant and I found it Legit because it's twitter followed by unstoppable Domain and many other. You can do your own research also.
Steps to revoke Sites:
1: Open Revoke.cash
2: Enter Address (recommend) or connect wallet
3: Select any chain you want
You will see a list of all sites you connected with your wallet and permission information.
4: Now revoke all or those you want.

After Optimism and Aptos airdrop lot of people are now using new Dexes and new chain so they might get airdrop from these projects. The biggest mistake they make is that they don't disconnect sites after doing transaction which sometimes leads to emptying of their wallet.

It is easy to create hundreds of accounts using MetaMask or any ERC20 wallet, and therefore you can create a new account for each airdrop you want to subscribe to, and without much costs, you can avoid your wallet being emptied, I do not know, but it is either laziness or ignorance that makes individuals fall victim to this scam.

Scammers are lazy but people's laziness with their money is what makes such scam profitable and therefore persistent.

Optimism Fake Airdrop Site

Uniswap Fake Airdrop
Website: https://uniswàp.net
This fake Airdrop News actually come from famous twitter account @Whalechart account which hacked yesterday. Many users connected account and lose more than 500$

It is a fake airdrop, such airdrops are designed to cheat newbies in crypto space by using their greed emotion. Before you connect your wallet, always check the contract address of original coin & compare it with supposed airdrop coin. It is an important step to verify the authenticity of the coin. Additionally, it is also important to use hardware wallet, or a reputable software wallet with good security features and always secure your private keys in a safe place.

I see that greed, fear of missing out and greed is what drives people to connect their wallets blindly without even checking the link which is something that does not happen with a little caution.

Most of these users are not aware of crypto scam and yes It is greed that makes them blindly connect personal wallet to these sites.

Trying to close these sites is good, but the ease of creating them makes this idea absurd.
I hope to spread awareness because it is the fastest weapon.

These sites are in large numbers and they also appears sometime in top when you search on Google. Once I searched for Metamask in Google to install extension and the first website appears was Metamask phishing scam site which was promoted. I wrote many times paraphrase but it wrong paraphrase error was displaying. When I checked the. I realized that it's a scam site. This was my first experience to Metamask phishing site.
Awareness of these kind of scam are must . Binance academy have created some courses for this purpose to new users which made a great impact. I think this is not enough and there should be lot of work on this to aware all .

If you're active in investing, airdrops, and bounty campaigns the first thing that you need to do is how to differentiate a fake site and airdrop from a real one, and how to secure your coin, I have seen some people losing instead of gaining because of ignorant, you never link your wallet to platforms without checking if the platforms are legit, and you never linked it to wallets where you have funds on it, ignorance and carelessness are the two factors why so many got scammed.

If anyone wants to participate in a free airdrop, create a new wallet, do not connect your main wallet, also do your own research and check the airdrop project on its official social media sites, also before clicking on the airdrop link, you have to check the domain name well, as it may be similar and impersonates the original domain name. Also, you have to check the end of the official domain and know if the domain of this airdrop ends with .com, .org, .net, etc., or is it a fake domain for a scammer? There are many sites that scammers create daily to target people who are looking for free tokens and every period they develop their methods, we have to be more focused and discerning and take enough time to do our research so that we are not an easy bite in the mouth of these scammers.

This is the risk of claiming airdrops because airdrops have become the venues of scammers because of the many gullible people who think that all airdrops are similar to Uniswap, not doing enough research and using your main wallet to connect to platforms that are offering airdrops is a big risk, avoid connecting your main wallet to any platform, use disposable wallets or newly created wallets.
Airdrops are two things now, they use you to promote their platform, and they lead you to connect your wallet or ask for your private keys, there are no free lunches in the Crypto industry now, you have to believe it or regret later.

Scammers come up with new scamming techniques according to the crypto market trends. Since these two airdrops were the most successful, there is disappointment among many who missed these two airdrops. Scammers have targeted those crypto users to scam. Scammers aim to gain access to crypto user's wallets, and this website was created with that in mind. If a crypto user connects his wallet to this website, scammers will get access to that crypto user's wallet. Newbies should keep this in mind to refrain from connecting wallets to any unknown websites other than bookmarked websites.

I saw the airdrop too but I was quick to discover their trick. These days scammers are really smart and working hard to drain people of their hard earned resources. One should be careful the way at which they log into sites connecting their wallets all in the name of airdrop. Now the Airdrop scam pattern is if you have interacted with their site before you can claim a free airdrop for early adopters which is fake. They do this because previous mega airdrop such as uniswap used that pattern for their adopters and beta testers and that was why it could be said that many got the airdrop with easy and now scammers are using that pattern to wanting to rake our people's funds off their wallets which I think would be difficult of only the people are aware of their gimmicks. OP, you did well by unveiling this for bitcointalk participants to see. With this, we can thread with caution if we come across such.

The official sites of the two dex are:
https://uniswap.org/
https://www.optimism.io/

and make sure the domain is different, then it's a phishing site trying to trick you, especially those that give airdrops that don't make sense even though they haven't made any interactions in their chain.

Well @Whalechart's Twitter has been compromised by doing a lot of tweeting with tweetdeck.

So be careful never connect any wallet to that suspicious site.
