You can claim airdrops even if your balance is zero. Therefore, use a wallet without a balance or withdraw your balance when you want to link your wallet to an unknown site. This way, you will ensure that scamming you will cost you zero.
It may be a good idea to ignore these spam airdrops, especially since some of them have low liquidity and are listed on few platforms, which makes the possibility of scam high. this can happen to all tokens based blockchain and not SOL.

Yep that's true but this is not airdrops, it's scam pretending to be airdrops. But I agree wit you best to ignore them completely! I would never click or fish for airdrop if I need crypto I buy it.
But maybe some will try to get free coins and this can help them from being scammed and losing their funds


This annoying trick has actually been used a lot on the EVM chains too, I also got spam unknown nft tokens some time after claiming the domain on UD. I think scammers have activated automatic parameters using certain services' smartcontract addresses as triggers.
The target of scam isn't only you as the wallet owner, but anyone who is interested after checking your address.

Yeah it's totally awful they have no limits and for every year the scams only get worse and worse. I wish they could meet all the faces they scammed true the years so they could get some regret and stop this shit. We should not scam each other we should help each other against higher powers.

NEVER CONNECT/LINK YOUR WALLET WITH A WEBSITE YOU DON'T TRUST TO 100% AND EVEN IF YOU TRUST IT DON'T CONNECT/LINK IT!

I want to make you aware of this advanced scam attempt! I been trading a lot lately with coins in the Solana network and I also noticed some scams and I think it's better to expose it here and hopefully it can save at least one soul from not getting scammed in this way. Everyone can't know everything and I surely don't blame the victim for being scammed at any point, If we can avoid a scam we should always do it, so to the scam.

If you have a Solana wallet you will find it in Solscan and when you search for your address if your address example is https://solscan.io/account/4SAYiD5ZL4meDW61cnb9U5s1xvQtCbYZjmvB6aCbVT25
You will see the address have some staked sol and some meme coins in Bonk. When you open to see all the tokens list you see two more that looks like a air-drop and a air-drop can be tempting right? Be careful!!
It's a scam and yes it's quite obvious but not for an untrained eye. So basically they say they will give you free coins but instead stealing your coins!

What you not should do is fall for this "air-drop scam". You won't get any air-drop what you will receive is an empty wallet crypto wallet, it's as you sure understand by now a pure scam.  Cry

This is one address that funds are send to: https://solscan.io/account/Compu3aDeye2pAkN9BC5EzsLDS4hFSBDsEBHzNX7Ynqj and the token value is much higher since the value of the tokens is not updated there.
Be aware out there guys.
