Criminals are taking advantage as this is one of the hottest airdrop right now. So the UI is very similar and it's really hard for us to catch it as there's not much difference. But please, double or even triple check everything before we connect our Wallet.

When there is an airdrop in the crypto market and it is trending, scammers try to exploit the interest of crypto users by creating fake websites. Many hot airdrops have come in the crypto market in recent times and scammers have created fake websites using the trend of those airdrops and hacked the wallets of crypto users. Therefore, crypto users should exercise utmost caution when transacting funds and connecting wallets to any website. Thank you for warning crypto users by posting this fake website here.

Yes, that's why we shouldn't trust airdrop anymore, not only it's a haven for scammers like we have seen in the OP, but it's not worth your time. Maybe there are a few genuine projects and you have to invest some to get the airdrop. But it's no longer 2017 where airdrop is the hype as everyone that time make a lot of money.

Fortunately, it has been flagged already,

Good job by the OP as well for giving us the warning!!!

The airdrop space is fertile ground for scammers. Honestly, anyone who does not have sufficient experience to secure himself and do his own research will inevitably have his wallet and assets drained one day. What the OP referred to is among the many very widespread phishing sites. If you look at the interface of the phishing site, especially those created for meme coins, you'll find them primitive and closely resembling the domain and the main website of the currency. This is because the memecoin sites do not contain an advanced or professionally developed interface, making them easy to mimic and allowing scammers for the creation of many phishing sites to trick airdrop hunters into connecting their wallets for claiming or staking to fall into the trap.

I will now make a report using the provided link. Thank you.

Scammers always use any available trending information to make out there way to scam users who are not aware of the real thing and how it works, just imagine how the clon the original sites with just a little difference from the real one in the url the added staking in the fake one which is not in the real project website which could make those who don’t have idea think that url is for their staking dragging victims to connect their wallet and lose their funds.
