They sends such phishing links to my email almost every day. I am wary of such scams, so I do not fall into their trap. Their main target is newbies.The link sent by them, should not be clicked. Because they are always ready to trap you.

I already reported one of them previously, there also was a google form to collect bitcointalk usernames and emails. Details can be seen here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/phishingscamstellar-airdrop-by-bitcointalk-center-5246204

Many people, especially unexperienced newbies, are using only one email address for both registration on bitcointalk forum and registration in bounty, airdops. Never do that. Information collected through these scam airdrops is being used not only for scamming, but also for hacking your accounts, stealing your personal information, etc.

Thank you for reporting one more of this fake websites, and they registered it only few days ago.
I think Stellar may be one of the most abused crypto websites.

Its pretty annoying newsletters coming from anywhere sending fake airdrops etc. mostly Stellar or Brave are the commonly abused by scammers to lure victims. I can’t hardly count how many senders that I’ve blocked in my mail, but numbers of spam are still increasing.

Getting email from this kinda scammers is a common thing now. I don’t know you have already subscribed with their tricky newsletters or not but its always better to avoid their website. Due to some dishonest website owners they easily get crypto users emails and use thousands of emails at a time to steal people's money.

Sometimes the scamer always collects as many emails as possible to spread the message of this scamer throughout the email he got, I don't know why the scamer gets this email so much that I too can receive this message, is it possible they are looking for from a bounty spreadsheet where the email is not in hide it?

Most importantly I always avoid this message and always tell close friends to beginners.

There are surge of fake stellar attacks lately. And I'm sure one way of spreading this is thru email blast so don't click any suspicious link.

To avoid this attack in Firefox and Tor, do the following:

Open a new tab
Type about:config and hit enter
Accept the warning if one appears
Search for the string network.IDN_show_punycode
Change the value to true

This will make these domains display as "xn--xxxxx" rather than the site name they are trying to imitate. Chromium based browsers should warn you about punycode domains automatically, provided they are up to date.

Another simple way to avoid falling victim to sites like this which pretend to be other sites, often web wallets and exchanges, is to use a good password manager such as KeePass. KeePass will automatically recognize that it is a fake site and won't input your user name or password.
