To all the newbies out there planning to join airdrop/bounty campaigns,
I would like to inform you that there is a board named
Scam AccusationsIn this board you will find the hardworking users of this forum to identify scams to prevent us, especially newbies, to lose money.
Day by day there are so many innovative ways scammers are using to get your private keys and make you satoshi-less (pennyless).
Take this scam as an example,
I find this bounty campaign :
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bounty-ethereum-private-private-faste-and-more-4402172Look into its ridiculous condition:
Ethereum Private Airdrop
We will distribute 5.000.000 ETHPT Token to the first 5000 people.
Everyone join Airdrop will get 1.000 ETHPT Token = $ 50
• To get your Tokens of Airdrop
send 0.005 ETH to Airdrop address, and you will get 1000 Token automatic
If you can send more than 0.005 ETH you will get more tokens
Airdrop address: 0x983fa65777f156cb5CBeB95faC5e2135c4802C6B
When you go to the bounty campaign, the
bounty manager is a copper member and it is a typical bounty campaign. However, this airdrop rules is really ridiculous and asking users to send money to his private address!
When I was a Newbie, I just went to Beginners and Help and Meta Sections because I am not familiar with the other boards. Later, I discovered this section and begin my journey of learning from others and contributing to help bounty hunters.
