Thanks for the warning. I have a little bit idea regarding scam but not expected too much scam. Maybe be vigilant and do our own research. Take your own risk.

Are you one of the KYC victims who sent all his data over the internet and clicked on a bunch of emails from the KYC company? 

The hackers are using KYC to steal your funds.  Your handing them all the info.



Yeah the KYC scams are running rampant at this point.  People are getting seriously hurt when they make the mistake to compromise their personal documents.  Hackers now have a wealth of information on you to begin brute forcing into your computer to steal your funds.

Thank you for the information. As I see airdrops could be scam. Is the most dangerous thing there is to download their attachements and click the links, right? Or what else?

In fairness with the Airdrops, there are also good and profitable coins you get from Airdrops, that was before when I participated in some. But today it was being abused, being used to scam people, thats why I get rid of these Airdrops and better participate in Social media campaigns or Signature campaings.
For your security, never ever input your private key in any of doubtful and unsafe websites and emails, and always bookmark everything legit.

There are so many scammers nowadays. Some are creating their own websites imitating the website we used to log in our credentials. We have to be alert and watchful on those things because they might trap us. Be watchful, everyone.

hi folks I want to warn all the participants in the airdrops There are a bunch of scammers They steal the privet key of myetherwallet i dont know how they do that but i think by sending you an email and when you check the email and click on it they can access to all the file in your pc and steal the key i dont know how that works i'm not an expert so don't put any of the private key in the computer or in your phones .
Thanks for the info. No wonder I never take part in airdrops. Paying penny and can steal my coins. Never!!

For experience people, they can avoid to click link from any unknown source example email.
However, if you want to join airdrop, please avoid to join any airdrop which ask you to do ubnormal thing.

These people shouldnt be given any chance to scam people,this is the reason why the world doesnt want to get into our market because most of the people are taking advantages to each other,the mainstream media will always be negative to our community that is why we shouldnt be doing anything that can harm the reputation of cryptocurrencies.

That's very true, I agree with you. Crypto is indeed very profitable but full of enormous risks when we invest and when it is also we know that when we invest it all is a scam or fraud. Many are afraid to invest in fear of being cheated. Because there is no guarantee all back when we invest. This is a lesson for us when we want to invest in caution against fraud and other things.

that right if someone want to get into cryptocurrencies and somehow stole his money  like me he will hate it for ever that must be some kind things like controlling those scammers ... and we ask ourselves why all the world against the idea of cryptocurrencies for that kind of things

All of the people who will ask for your private keys will surely steal all of your funds,so protect your keys just like protecting your wife and children,never give it to anyone private keys will be your assurance you better get some hardwallets like ledger and trezor because it can give you an extra protection with these hackers.

If you just open that email and don't click/download any attachment then I cant see a reasons that you would be hacked out by someone.This is why we should really be careful on downloading things on pc, executable files will run if you don't have an antivirus that can detect those malwares. Private keys cant be hacked if you don't disclose it into public. Unless if you got phished then 100% you will be hacked.
that exactly what happened with me i thougt the email is to confirmed or somthing like that but It turned out to be the wrong  Undecided but i learned from my mistake
Then what happened after you click such link? As long you didn't input something or download then you didn't commit any mistake.

Airdrops wont get your private keys,normally they will just require you to fill up some form with your bitcontalk account,wallet address and optional with email addresses you can use dummy email address so that you wont receive phishing emails from these people,do not waste your time with these stupid airdrops instead join bounty programs.

Some airdrops requires you to provide private keys and that's a clear scam because in the first place you should not give not key to anyone. Giving your email is ok but don't ever download anything from that site because you might really got scammed if you do better to be safe than to get some shit coin that don't have any value after all.
Even just on common sense you will able to identify if a thing is a pure scam or not. We do know that private keys is the most important information/access to our wallets and even creating our wallet in first place do have caution about on keeping it for yourself which means theres no reason that you haven't told or being reminded in relation with it.Keys is on your full responsibility don't give it to anybody no matter what.

It could happen, when they send you a link to a pishing site of myetherwallet. So don't follow the links, then they will have no chance to hack your wallet. There are many scamming devs, but also airdrops of awesome cryptocurrencies.
