Just to get the details, I visited the website from my other Linux PC and on the home page there is a "Claim XLM" button. Once you click on it, a file that is executable on Windows starts to automatically download.
It's Named "StellarAirDrop.exe" and i am very sure it is infected with malware. I hope people are smart enough not to fall for this stupid airdrop.

Then do not believe if there are messages from emails about like that let alone told to join in the trick airdrop because I often see messages like that from emails.
I always filter spam messages like they don't enter my main message.
Stellar Airdrop is just a trick from them to join many and give a personal key or some money.

I'd like to warn the community about the e-mail that I received yesterday. I got a message from a person that claims to be a representative of the Stellar marketing department. Here is the content of the e-mail:

Thank you for participating! Company Stellar.

Basically, one of the requirements to participate in the airdrop is to visit the web site stellar(dash)claim(dot)com (I strongly advise not to visit the web site!) and to download and install some kind of program. I didn't visit the web site because I don't know if there are any malicious scripts on it, but just wanted to warn the community to be careful. Also, the e-mail is written in not so good English and I really think that Stellar marketing department's representative would be able to write grammatically correct message.
