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 .

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

Private keys shouldnt be given to anyone,because it is the most imporant part of your investments if someone knew your keys you are good as dead,all of your funds might be transfered to his own wallet so that protect your keys as you are protecting your love ones,never give it to anyone because that thing can be the key to your success or failure.

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.

oh yeah i'm totally out of this kind of thing after i have lost half of my funds thanks man

Never join these airdrops that will require your private keys,normally wallet and email address would be the requirement for such airdrops.If someone ask you to put your private keys im sure 100% it is a scam because why would they need to get your private keys if thet arent going to steal your investments or coins.

Me too i never join these stupid airdrops to get 5 to 10$ sometimes even less.Just do bounty where you can get sometimes more than 200 or 300$ if you do signature even more if you are higher ranked member
