How to Avoid Airdrop Scams Airdrop scams are everywhere, and protecting assets is the top priority.
Here are common scam signals, anti-scam strategies, and safe habits:
Common Scam Warning Signals: Request for Payment: Any airdrop that asks for an upfront transfer (such as an 'activation fee') is a scam. Legitimate airdrops never require users to pay. Request for Private Keys or Recovery Phrases: Scammers may trick you into entering sensitive information through fake websites. For example, a phishing site disguised as Binance might ask you to connect your wallet and enter your private key. Overly Exaggerated Returns: Airdrops promising 'tokens worth $1000 for just a click' are usually traps. Unofficial Channels: Airdrop links sent via private messages on Telegram or from unverified accounts on X platform are often scams. Anti-Scam Strategies: Verify Project Sources: Obtain airdrop information only through official channels (such as Binance's official website, project whitepapers). Check the website URL to ensure there are no typos (like 'biannce.com'). Use Separate Wallets: Create a new wallet for airdrops, store a small amount of funds, and avoid exposing your main wallet to risk. Check Wallet Assets: Do not interact with unknown tokens or NFTs; they may involve 'dusting scams' aimed at stealing information. Enable Security Tools: Use hardware wallets (like Ledger) or secure browser extensions (like MetaMask's Blockaid) to detect malicious contracts. Safe Operating Habits: Regularly check wallet permissions and revoke unknown DApp authorizations (using Revoke.cash). Avoid clicking on short links from X platform or Telegram; prioritize visiting the project's official website. Before participating in an airdrop, search for the project name + 'scam' to see community feedback. For instance, I once discovered a fake 'Binance BTC Airdrop' website and avoided it thanks to community warnings.
Case Sharing: Real Experience: I received an email claiming to be from Binance, stating that I could claim a 0.5 BTC airdrop, but the link pointed to an unfamiliar domain. Upon checking, I found it was a phishing site, promptly deleted the email, and reported it to Binance customer service.
Lesson: Never click on links in emails or private messages; operate directly within the Binance App.
