hi folks I want to warn all the participants in the airdrops There are a bunch of scammers They steal the privet key of myetherwallet i dont know how they do that but i think by sending you an email and when you check the email and click on it they can access to all the file in your pc and steal the key i dont know how that works i'm not an expert so don't put any of the private key in the computer or in your phones .

Exactly the main problem of Airdrops now
IMO, tons of Airdrops now are actually sketchy and scammy.

They would mostly first ask for Public address
Then tells you to login to claim your tokens and etc.
Then people end up going to the fake site

My suggestion here is to install MetaCert - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cryptonite-by-metacert/keghdcpemohlojlglbiegihkljkgnige?hl=en
If you are not a person that are cautious and protective, this might be a good tool to protect you Smiley


thank you very much sir
