That is the reason that you shouldn't base your decision through influencers and anyone randomly.
You also don't sign or connect your wallets to random links that they'll give you or else you'll be at loss and will regret that move. You can connect your wallet if you insist but make sure that it contains nothing.
Make a new wallet for testing if you want to take part of these airdrops so that you've got nothing to lose if you truly insist and want to test them out.

Twitter has become the new players where scammers are massively scamming others. I don't even know what metrics used by twitter but so many scam accounts are exist right now. It was making the situation even worst from time to the time with so many scammers being scammed through connecting their wallet through scam site that used by scammer to steal money. Never click any link being promoted in twitter. It's all scam without official confirmation.

A few days ago, I saw a KOL with a large number of fans on Twitter. He was recommending a project recommended by many KOLs. As long as he followed his guidelines, he could get more airdrop tokens. As a result, when I clicked on the link, connect When my little fox wallet is signed and confirmed, my assets will be reset to zero. I checked the data on the chain, and in a short period of time, he actually defrauded more than 20,000 US dollars in digital currency, which is terrible.
This is the case during the era of Elon Musk because there is no oversight of scammers to prevent them or legalize their backs. Suppose you see an account for a legit project that you follow. In that case, you will find thousands of fake accounts that impersonate the name of this project’s account and its logo, put the blue check mark, and publish illegal links to similar scam domains for the official project domain. Now, scammers take advantage of any popular trend on Twitter related to a currency or a specific project. They quickly put popular hashtags in their tweets and publish malicious links to trap victims, so Twitter has become a suitable space for scams. Their tweets are promoted in these trends like wildfire. Thousands of people lost their funds because of one mistake: not focusing before opening the link, connecting the main wallet, and giving approval of permissions to their wallet for this scam domain.

i couldnt sweat the fact that there are so many people out there getting scammed by some malicious contract that actually drain their wallet, it's really unfortunate though and I wonder how the devs keeping their smart contract from inspection from the masses.
after all such malicious contract should actually be detected easily by many.
but nowadays those scammers always use some kind of airdrop or minting to attract many attention and uses their platform.
i guess it's due to the fact that many are so hasty in making decision when it comes to such thing and couldn't think straight that maybe their assets are in risk of losing and getting drained by some scams.
good thing that nowadays already put some alert beforehand in their platform.

This is true not only for Twitter, but for almost all social media platforms. Especially on Facebook, there are too many scam ads. Moreover, these ads are given directly to Facebook and are shown as sponsor ads. More so, it says that this amount of rewards or this exchange gives this award to new members via exchange platforms, please log in and check it immediately. As soon as you enter your email and password, your information is stolen. Definitely check the ads you open. It's good to be careful.

Why do people still continue to believe people over the internet. Never click links from someone you don't know including someone who is "popular". Interneting 101 people. All for air drops? I'm sorry you lost money but never believe anyone you unfortunately had to learn the hard way.

This is the main reason why I don't want to link my wallet to an unknown third-party platform especially a third-party platform that has no audit certificate, I do not know how to read the code of their smart contract so people like me all newbies can be deceived to link their profit for rewards and profit promised by these third party platforms.
People who are active in airdrops should be good at looking for all the signs that the platform is a dubious one or you will lose all your coins.

That is why we should have to be more cautious when it comes to investing online and most especially if we are about to click some links that we need to log in our passwords/usernames. In fact, this is not a new strategy of scammers but if you are a greedy person, you'd still fall into them which is why, despite the awareness we brought in here and even outside the forum, still a lot of people got tricked and scammers still continue doing this for they know that there are a lot of greedy individuals that can be their victim.

It's unfortunate that scammers take advantage of people's desire to make quick profits in the crypto space. Greed and the promise of easy money can blind individuals to the risks involved and leave them vulnerable to fraud. New entrants into the crypto space must understand that legitimate investments take time and thorough research. So education and awareness are key to protecting yourself from scams. Newcomers should take the time to learn about cryptocurrency basics, blockchain technology, and investment strategies. Furthermore, be cautious and skeptical when it comes to investment opportunities, especially on social media platforms. This will prevent you from ever investing more than you can afford to lose.
Scammers are using click baits as there are many naive users out there.
If it is too-good-to-be-true, doubt the motive of the airdrop.
Also, if in case you will participate, connect a new wallet that has nothing in it to test first.
As fraudsters don't care whether they will exhaust your funds or not, better secure your wallet first.
Right now, scammers are using social media platforms as there are so many gullible users who are after for get-rich-quick investments.

Even old dogs like me have been scammed like this, and i am shamed to say recently. Not trough Twitter (because i don't trust anyone in twitter). But trough a bounty group i trusted (that's still active). I thought that they picked quality projects and had done their research so i wouldn't have to but it turned out they promoted just anyone who paid.I didn't lose much but i was amazed that i still after all these years fell into that without thinking twice.
But just as a rule of thumb, don't click anything in telegram or twitter. They are just full of bots and spammers, and now with ton of verified fake accounts.

This is one of the main primary rule here on crypto space when it comes to security on which you shouldnt click any random links online if you dont like on getting wrecked. Never ever making some confirmation and signed messages whenever it do really ask out whether you do have that fox wallet or metamask wallet or whatever wallet you do have because once you do that then say goodbye into your assets.This what makes people do really realize when its too late. Never make yourself get blinded on whatever airdrops you are dealing off with in the market. If you are really that eager for some airdrop then
it would be always be making that a new wallet so that you wouldnt really be risking your entire balance or assets on such wallet if ever things turns out on having a problem.
People should really be that sensible when it comes into their actions and decisions.

Now that's very very terrible and heart breaking. It is really not a pleasant experience having to fall for such a scam when you thought you are dealing genuine people.
I used to think this kind of scam usually occur on telegram, now they have migrated to Twitter and are seriously defrauding unsuspecting victim

Many verified accounts on Twitter are sharing deceptive posts. They really waste their money and time to make it believable. Generally, newbies chasing free tokens can quickly be deceived. I try to ignore other posts, except for a few twitter accounts that I know and trust. Although you do not follow, there are a lot of accounts, you need to be careful in the flow. I've been hearing about these cases a lot lately, especially on Twitter.
Some scammers are actually buying verified accounts just so they could easily use it to scam people. They can easily make lots of people on that social media platform that they are legally running good projects. This is common not just on Twitter but also on other top social media sites. Lots of users unfortunately are still falling for their trap. That is why searching and double checking if there would be red flags is important for us to get rid of scammers. We should be skeptical because nowadays, they are even reaching out to people through DMs. People who aren't knowledgeable about these scam strategies are their usual target so as much as possible, we should warn our friends and loved ones about being aware of scamming activities.

For me a large number of followers does not mean they can be trusted. I meet a lot of Twitter users who have tens of thousands of followers and they are people who are hunting for referral links. Usually they are airdrop or giveaway hunters.
Maybe only verified Twitter accounts can be trusted. I apologize for the misfortune that has befallen you. Maybe this can be a lesson for other members so they can be careful when participating in airdrops. I honestly don't like Airdrops asking for KYC. Because for me personal data is more important than tens of dollars.
Nope not really. Unless you really know the verified twitter account way of doing things in crypto, You can somehow show your trust to them but there are a LOT of verified twitter accounts that are used in scamming. There are blue check twitter that are being sold online and some of it are hacked accounts that is new sole purpose is to exploit the kind of verification they have and scam people. I've seen someone with a blue check account that impersonate elon musk and posted malicious links on every reply on legit elon musk account. The scammer achieve scamming people that way based on the wallet address that the scammer is using. Never trust anyone on social media even if it's a blue check account. Maybe only verified Twitter accounts can be trusted. I apologize for the misfortune that has befallen you. Maybe this can be a lesson for other members so they can be careful when participating in airdrops. I honestly don't like Airdrops asking for KYC. Because for me personal data is more important than tens of dollars.

Unfortunately, Twitter has become a platform where scammers can freely post content. As such, you must exercise caution and diligently conduct research before engaging in airdrops, giveaways, or any other crypto-related activity. One tip is to use a separate wallet to minimize the risk to your main wallet or your personal funds in the unfortunate event of a scam. Although many people still fall victim to Twitter scams every day, it is a lesson for us to always be vigilant about them.
