#空投防骗手册
Not all airdrops are safe. From fake websites and suspicious authorizations to wallet theft, scams are everywhere. Here are some of my own anti-fraud experiences that I hope can help everyone:
🔍 Common danger signals:
The website domain differs by one letter or punctuation from the official one, or does not have https.
The official account has inflated follower counts but very low interaction.
Requests to 'authorize the contract first' or 'pay the transaction fee first' to receive.
The content of the white paper is vague, and team members have no public information.
✅ How to verify if a project is legitimate:
Check on Etherscan / BscScan if the contract has been audited.
Search for the project name + scam / rugpull to see if there are any negative records.
Join the official Telegram group to observe whether the discussion atmosphere is genuine.
Check team members' LinkedIn and Twitter to see if they have real credentials.
🕵️♀️ Scams I have encountered:
Someone once sent an 'official airdrop link' and requested to authorize tokens first, which actually authorized 'transfer permissions' and almost led to the depletion of wallet assets. Fortunately, I discovered the anomaly by testing with a secondary account.
🚩 Cases I avoided:
There was an 'innovative project' that claimed you needed to transfer 0.01 ETH first to activate eligibility for the airdrop. I checked on-chain and found many people made payments but no one received the tokens, concluding it was a scam and decisively abandoned it.
Airdrops present opportunities but also risks. Remember not to authorize lightly, not to click blindly, and not to transfer arbitrarily; protect your assets well. I hope everyone can safely enjoy airdrops!
