Airdrop scams involve fraudulent schemes that lure users into giving away personal information, crypto funds, or sensitive data. They imitate legitimate token distribution campaigns but are designed to deceive users through fake offers, phishing links, or malware disguised as free tokens.

Scammers present false opportunities, often promoting them in popular crypto spaces, to take advantage of unsuspecting users who might be eager to participate in what seems like a harmless and profitable event.

Phishing Airdrop Scams

Phishing airdrop scams involve emails, social media messages, or website links that impersonate legitimate projects. These messages often contain links that lead to fake sites designed to look like official project pages. Once on these fake pages, users are prompted to provide sensitive information, such as their private keys or wallet passwords, which scammers then use to access their accounts and steal funds.
