Scammers updated their website and now they asking payment instead of the private key. The good thing is that so far no one has been scammed with this fake airdrop

The best thing you can do now is to contact PancakeSwap itself so they can be aware of the situation and warn their investors on their official account.

I do not think the old investors would take part in any such airdrop/giveaway and since they know that if the private key is shared with someone, then their funds can be stolen.
That is why I think only newbies fall into such a trap. as newbies think that it is very easy to make money in crypto and such airdrops or giveaways are opportunities that can make them rich.

You know it's fake when they asked you for your private keys, if you are educated or aware that no one should possess your private keys but you alone or people you trust, legit airdrops will not ask for private keys, they can use metamask and other extensions for verification purposes but asking a private key is a big no.

The scammer's Twitter account is dangerous and can easily fool a lot of newbies in the crypto market. The account is constantly retweeting the official account of PancakeSwap constantly trying to affiliate itself to the official one which could easily fool a lot of people besides that the account it set that the only ones who can reply to its tweet to the ones he mentioned probably preventing people to say that this is a scam. The best thing you can do now is to contact PancakeSwap itself so they can be aware of the situation and warn their investors on their official account.

They use the names of projects that are listed on large exchanges to scam them and are very popular in the crypto market. This project is also very popular, which is going to be a risk for newbie. The crypto community is always active on Twitter.

Lots of newbies come to the crypto market to see the positive things about crypto from Twitter. When they see such offers, they become confused and often fall into this trap.

This is a fake phishing giveaway website. The main purpose of creating this website is to steal the private key of your wallet. These kind of giveaway websites are very dangerous for newbies, because if they are attracted to the tempting offer and give their wallet key to such website, they will lose the entire fund of that wallet. They will never ask for the private key of your wallet if any original website gives any kind of giveaway.
