Scams are everywhere. I think some people may put their private keys without thinking too much. They only look at the reward amount. sometimes if they don't have any idea what private key does, then they will give their keys to others. So it is advisable to get a proper knowledge to survive in this field.
Yes, was in deed every where but in the case of the scam issue posted by the OP only people who are lack of common sense will expose his/her private keys just for the sake of joining an airdrop because a newbie can't even do that.

Asking for private key equals to scam project/bounty/airdrop experienced crypto enthusiast as well as for those who knew the basics of crypto will not going to bite this bait
Those who are hungry with their worthless airdrop tokens will bite on this. It's like asking a kid to give their candy to a stranger. I can't blame also those people that aren't aware of this modus.

however, this would be a potential threat for newbie users and investors, I wonder where and how did they get emails and information from?
It's either they bought the list of emails or they signed up on it.

I heard some rumors that some projects are selling their investor's email and information most likely if the project is a scam.
Doubt it if you never signed up for an ICO but you received an email.

These are the most stupid and most obvious scammers and in principle are easily recognized. But some are so disguised that no analysis will help in choosing.

Thank you very much for this information at least it will help other people from falling victim of scam. Keep private keys very safe and avoid clicking on any link sent to you, also try to do a very good research of any project or coin before you invest in it.

Do not do anything stupid by giving a private key, they do anything to steal your token.
some cases of token thefts by fishing methods.
save your private key and bookmark your wallet.

A lot of emails coming from any ICO and some of them is really just a scam. Don’t give your private keys to anyone, don’t take the risk just to have $10 in exchange of you $100. Always think that this market is profitable if you work harder so don’t depend on airdrop.
Some airdrop starts cheating, does not make sense.
to get 1 $ sometimes required deposit. This is crazy. besides that issue there are still many airdrop who try to cheat with various methods.
it's best to forget the dangerous airdrop chanel.

This is nothing new.

You are basically crazy if you end up falling for this.

Some of these scams are even more advanced however.

Suppose you have a MEW account, usually you might get an email that says "Free Airdrop, login to MEW to register" and the link is phished and the URL is something like MyEitherWallet.com and you aren't careful and paste your Private key and get scammed.

Others are basically those fake BTC forks where you need to download their Bitcoin client, and importpriv key and when you connect to the internet your BTC and BCH and all forked coins of value get stolen.

This is why there needs to be more education about the security of your coins and private key, because everyday people keep falling for these scams.

LOL. There are so many airdrops also require MEW wallet private key from pariticpant to be able to join airdrop. LOL.
I don' think there will be anyone fall into this trap cause it's the worst way to scam other people cryptocurrency cause you just need to know wallet address to send token to other people but privatekey. LOL

The noobs if not using their heads very well will always learn the hard way. Even if you see Vitalik's personal twitter asking you to send you private keys is pretty unreliable. Few weeks ago Charlie Lee did tweet something like an airdrop and it he ended it with an explanation to warn everybody on possible online scams.

scam

My advice is for you to stop participating in those airdrops and filling it up with your personal email. It's just a trap so they can send you those phishing emails or to market their coin to you. They are also collecting emails just to spam us.
