Hi everybody,
I'm curious to know, especially from safety point of view, what's up with all these bogus Airdrops?
Now, I'm not talking about those that ask for your private keys, because that's obvious, but I'l more interested to know what a scammer can gain from simply having a list of ETH address and emails. Granted, they can see the list of emails, use it for spam etc., but is there any way they can use the information gleaned in a more malicious manner? Can they somehow use ETH address to target the unsuspecting user later on?
even if an Airdrop seems legit I still make it a point to always use a disposable MEW when signing up, but I don't know of a few people in another group that have fallen prey to this sort of scam.
Cheers and thanks for your thoughts.
yes you are right, there are so many airdrops that have appeared in recent months. if there is an airdrop scammer maybe they will check eth address in etherscan and if wallet have any assets they may have targeted the email registered for hacked and get other information from us. this is just my guess and analysis alone.
