Now I know how detect phishing airdrop and will bypass them. Thank you very much!
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! 
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.
