And Chainlink is already popular in the market, and scammers have used chainlink's name many times to create fake airdrop websites. And looking at their activities, it is assumed that they will create more fake airdrop websites using the names of these projects in the coming days.
Nice Catch OP. Not only Chainlink or SEI they will target every new hype projects to attract beginners and they already succeed many times by spreading these phishing sites. Sometimes they send dms from the community group of a related project to fall them into this trap. So we should be aware much more to prevent them. I don't think scammers will stop their jobs and they will find more realistic way to scam people.
So crypto users should check the project's official social media before joining any airdrop to confirm if the airdrop is genuine or not.
I am not agee with this line properly as we can see sometimes official social accounts are being hacked or compromised and they post fake announcements. So we have to know what is suspicious and what is legit. We should check several social accounts or sources from official accounts to verify it's legitimacy.
