Topic: *How to differentiate a real Telegram Airdrop project from a fake one* - page 2. (Read 260 times)

So many projects are coming up everyday with scamming intentions and as a newbie or senior member you can not detect a genuine one from the fake ones. We invest our resources in terms of time and mobile data on them. It is not really easy  to know a fake project as some trusted projects turned out to be fake. However we could use these indices to some extent to evaluate a project that is real and one that is fake.

 *A fake Telegram airdrop is usually referrer-based*

One critical way to differentiate a fake Telegram airdrop project from a real one is when it takes a huge number of referrers before you can cash out or withdraw the "free token". These people are just looking for ways to bring in more people to their scam project to seek a large number of participants.

Next time you see a Telegram airdrop asking for a certain amount of referrers before a withdrawal can be made, it would be wise to have a little doubt about that particular airdrop project.

A fake Telegram airdrop will ask you for a certain amount of fee (crypto) before you can get your 'free token'. An airdrop is meant to be free but know that you may be legally required to pay little gas fee and in some cases optional little amount for upgrade

A fake Telegram airdrop is not usually linked to an official channel or website.

Legit airdrops usually have official websites, and some even go further to have verified social media accounts on X, Discord, etc.

When a particular Telegram airdrop promises a free token, and it is not linked to any official website or social media account(s), then it is probably fake.

A fake Telegram airdrop group may have a post that contains some Grammatical and spelling errors.

A Fake Telegram project usually promises large amounts of money.

Like it or not, scammers are extremely smart people; they know that a particular airdrop project will entice more people if they promise a large amount of money in Crypto.

Next time, if you see a Telegram airdrop project that promises a substantial monetary value, you should be suspicious of such a project.

But remember, these are just signs and it might not really be that the airdrop is fake. There are  many real Airdrops and there are also fake ones. For instance I  participated in ICE, Avive, Notcoin and others and they paid while others didn't pay. I have nothing to lose for those that didn't pay because I did not commit money into those projects only a wasted efforts but not really a wasted efforts because I learnt something.

Yes  it can be quite discouraging to spend data, time and energy  in any airdrops without receiving any benefit.

However, today's world is not for quitters. The fact that there are many fake AIRDROPS presupposes that there are also real ones. But how do you know real ones?
