The following are some of the easiest way to figure out a scam airdrop
1. They will ask you to donate
2. They will ask for your private key

It's easy; is it and airdrop? If yes, it's already a scam with centralized funds and no transparency whatsoever in regards of initial distribution so they go against two of the most basic fundamentals of why crypto was created in the first place. It's 2017 and these take steps backwards instead of going forward therefore they shouldn't exist and only crypto-newbies welcome them...

And then there's the fact that account trading is legal (but discouraged) so the owners of airdrops can, and will redeem their own coins to dozens or even hundreds of their own sockpuppet accounts basically hiding the usual premined scam nonsense.

Edit: also, if any project is bound to a single, centralized website (like ICOs or airdrops) none of the numbers should be trusted at all! Only the source code.

Even if they don't ask for anything particular. They will get your personnal data and use it against you. It will be very hard to detect. If they don't launch their token it's clearly a sign that they just want your data. But there is so many airdrop, you have to subscribe a lot to earn a little bit.

Anyone asking for the private key is willing to scam you, airdrops doesn't need that because are free coins for the project.
Donations are always asked do not why it would be a sign of scam.

I dont think people fall in this trap anymore. There used to be a lot of dumb money but no kids also know not to share their private keys with anyone.
