Airdrop is one of the many ways to advertise or introduce new crypto projects to the world. Now, some scammers are using Airdrops to attract or influence new investors to their projects, which were created without proper and adequate information. Their goal is simply to attract more investors, after which they will move ahead with their funds.
Actually, many scammers have been using airdrops to scam people in the past. However, recently, the trend is highly rising up again by making some variations of the scam itself, like adding taken on the wallets, but the tokens are not tradable. And the scammers will commonly have certain telegram groups to ensure victims that the projects are real, guiding the victims to set their wallets and do something to be able to sell the tokens. And here it is, commonly it will relate to phishing sites or even transferring some funds to lock the tokens, but in fact, they are fake.
Well, whatever the ways, we must be more careful when going to choose a new project, I will prefer to select the clear project that is launched in some launchpad of trusted and reputable platforms. Better to stay safer than take high risk although the profits may be very seductive
