You should not give your private keys but it is known by everyone I assume. Also not give your email addresses you use on exchanges.

I have become disillusioned with Airdrops for a while now. So many of them are not actually airdrops anymore and are more like bounties where you have to jump through hoops to get a few bucks- not for me! Embarrassed

However, i thought i'd add to this post that i have seen a good few fake twitter accounts of certain ICO's and their follower count is high (sometimes as high as the actual pagemaking them look legitimate, so a lot of people will fall into the trap and fill in the fake google form and give all their details away to some petty scammer who will spam the life out of your email address at best.

These are great tips and things that all newbies should look for if they want to participate in airdrops and avoid scams. I've seen some pretty elaborate airdrop phishing websites and sometimes they can be hard to tell apart from the real ones. But definitely a rule of thumb is to never give out your private keys to anyone because once you do they have full control over your wallet. Also, it might be a good idea to pick up a hardware wallet to help protect your funds.

What Is Phishing AIrdrop?
Fraudsters send fake airdrop or set up fake web sites to trick you into disclosing your private identity to them.  Typically, fraudsters try to trick you into providing your user name and password so that they can gain access to an online account. Once they gain access, they can use your personal information to commit identity theft, charge your credit cards and even hacker into your cryptocurrency exchange account .
Phishing attacks are more rampant than ever before, rising by more than 162 percent from 2010 to till date.

How do I check for phishing airdrop links?
when filling airdrop formsfrom a site or google form, you will recieve a mail telling you that you should verify your ether address,hover your mouse on the link you will see a different email never click on the link for verification because this will lead you to  mytherwallet address website where you will be ask for private keys once you enter your private keys your account is 99% hacked.
no genuine airdrop will ask for your personal traditional bank account details.
possibly through Gleam or Vyper).
Grammatical and spelling errors.
Not linked from official channels.
Posted from brand new accounts.
They ask for donations.
They use well known IP’s
There’s no way to withdraw without a purchase.
They promise decent amounts of money.
It doesn’t feel right.

in conclusion there is no free money anywhere , a price must be paid,you need to ask yourself what is the price to be paid to receive a free coin/token/money? what are the exercises or task involve ? answering these few question wholeheartedly we save your time , because time is equals money.
