Ever since Uniswap protocol air dropped some UNI tokens to her loyal traders and early adopters, I've noticed they've been a drastic increase in the number of Airdrop links flying all around.
This is mostly because those people who missed out on the UNI giveaway are desperate and they won't hesitate to click on any links.
Well, this is just a friendly reminder that the Crypto world is filled with scam links and scammers are everywhere so you should be more careful of the links you click on.
I recently got an email with a link asking me to provide my details, I know I've participated in many airdrops but that particular looked so unfamiliar and weird. Without wasting time, I deleted the mail and reported it as scam.
Desperation could lead to dead ends, don't be too desperate. Just as they're fake airdrops, they're equally legit and real one's out there so be very much careful how you sail on this space.
Here are a few things to look out for before clicking on any link to join an Airdrop.
The source of the link, you should take note of who and where the link is coming come, only click on links from trusted sources.
The information requested, if after accessing the link, you're asked to provide any sensitive or private information about yourself or your wallet then you should know there's every tendency that it's a scam.
Take out time and observe the interface of the site or bot before joining any airdrop.
Asking you to pay fees, I did an Airdrop sometimes ago where we were told to deposit a certain amount of ETH before we can withdraw that which was given to us, it turned out it was a big scam so don't be too desperate to deposit into any site or wallet in the name of quick returns.
Ask questions, they're people who have been in this Crypto space much longer than you, ask then questions before joining any airdrop, site or investment schemes
This just a friendly reminder, y'all should beware and be Careful!
