### 🚨 **Airdrop Safety Scam Prevention Guide**
#### **🔴 Common Scam Signals**
1. **Requesting Private Key/Seed Phrase**: Any “verification” that asks for your seed phrase or private key is a scam
2. **Paid Participation**: Legitimate airdrops never ask for a transfer upfront (e.g., “pay gas fees to receive”)
3. **Fake Official Website/Fake Customer Service**: Phishing website domains often have spelling mistakes (e.g., LayerZer0.com)
4. **High-value Temptations**: Exaggerated promotions like “claim $1000 tokens”
#### **🛡️ Scam Prevention Strategies**
✅ **Official Verification**:
- Only operate through links announced on the project's Twitter/Discord
- Check if the contract address is verified on Etherscan
✅ **Safe Practices**:
- Use **Independent Airdrop Wallet** (do not store main assets)
- Check contract permissions with **Revoke.cash** before authorizing
- Disable Discord direct messages (80% of scams start in private chats)
#### **💻 Safety Operation Checklist**
1. Prioritize participating in **Well-known Ecosystem** airdrops (such as Arbitrum, Starknet, etc.)
2. Test with small amounts before bulk operations
3. Refuse to sign “Unlimited Authorization” (set limits)
4. Use **Token Sniffer** to check if tokens are malicious before trading
#### **🚫 High-risk Scam Cases**
- **Fake Metamask Pop-up**: Induces clicks on malicious links
- **Fake Airdrop Inquiry Websites**: Entering your wallet leads to theft
- **Fake Token Airdrop**: Transferring funds grants authorization for asset transfer
**📌 Core Principles**:
- **Do not be greedy**: Avoid airdrops that seem too good to be true
- **Do not trust easily**: Manually verify all links against the official website
- **Do not be lazy**: Audit every contract interaction
**Remember**: Losing an airdrop once = 0 cost, leaking private keys = assets reduced to zero! Safety always comes first!
