Hi,
Just found a token named OMDB
and they are offering airdrop but in the form they have asked for the Ethereum address and ethereum private key.
Now with the private key, can't they just hack our ethereum wallet ? i mean is there any protection left with us to stop them from taking our money ?
I am still noob in this field and i think i might b missing something here ? or i m right about them being trying to ditch us from our money ?

Thanks

Yes it is,airdrop doesnt require private keys,stay away from them,

Apparently that is a scam. It is private key not public key. Don't joke with your private key anything you want to do and they ask for it is a criminal and a fraud as well. You don't have to think twice to know it is a fraud.

It is always a reminder that when we fill up airdrop forms we should never give our private key. Your private key is always your personal key to unlock your wallet. With your private key, they could transfer and sell whatever is in your wallet. Trade exchange always ask for your private key and address. It is best to have a metamask or a ledger to make your coin wallet secure or enable f2 authentication.

Once you see an obvious shit then it's an automatic scam.

Asking private key is a shit thing to asked in airdrop forms so good thing you have common sense.

Even a noob should know that the reason a private key is given that name is because it is meant to be private and not for public consumption.

It is good he has come to ask first than making the mistake and coming to cry later. With the internet money spreading around, it is important that one should stay secured, be careful and not just settle for every tom, dick and harry gift called an airdrop or whatever.

This is clearly a fraud. No legit airdrop would ask you for private key or even begging Ethereum as a transaction fee for your airdrop. The only way to stop it is not to join on this kind of airdrop.

It is definitely a scam as no services ask for private keys. Private keys are meant for only us nobody other than us.

Never give your private key! Once you give it, they can enter your wallet and take all the money. And that transaction cannot be reverted, so you will lose your money.

Looks like fraud

Looks like ? It is absolutely fraud. You have said it all and there is nothing they need the private key for than to have access to the full wallet, so the OP should better just know that now and try not to ever make a mistake like that. Also, be careful the link you open directly from your mails or anywhere as those crazy thieves are on the loose, looking for every account to pounce on.

We should learn to treat our private key like our own eyeball. Even if some people are doing airdrop, the only thing they need from us is our public address and if we ever fall for something like this, it may not even be Ethereum, it could be other asset, then we will have ourselves to blame. It is good that OP have asked as lack of information has made people to learn the hard way.

Isn't it even obvious? Does he need a soothsayer to tell him it is fraud already? Pssss! PRIVATE! That is what they call it. If it was meant to be public, then the word private would not even have been used.

Run for your dear life, do not in any circumstance give out your private key to anybody. That airdrop is a scam airdrop for asking for your address private key. That is a pure scam.

This is really funny thing. I have never heard about such tokens and the way they behave themselves looking like innocent funny fraud. Look at them! Don’t make the deal with such talented developers.
