They are trying to allure you, that's why, because there's still a chance that there are people
around that will think it is a legit project and they will gain something out of those free tokens.
Remember those times where people are being asked to send a small amount of BNB or ETH for gas fee
to claim some rewards which ended up being scam and those scammers just take the money.
Not because it's small, it doesn't have value. What if hundreds or thousands of small amount being thrown,
if collected, it all can turn to decent to huge amount of easy money.,
actually, they are different methods, that what you mention is old and classic scamming method this one is different and mere likely like fishing method, when you have dusting token in your wallet you will become curious and begin to search in coinmarketcap and when you see it they have huge value and you will begin trying to sell in in the market, however, they are only can be swaped in pancakeswap and when you try to add and connect to their contract address you are automatically giving them access to your wallet and when that happens you walled already gone because there actually bot who send all asset in your wallet to scammer wallet.
Well said, it's very important not to be curious and not to be quick in making a decision.
Like what you said, this is not the old fashion type of scamming. Scammers can quickly access your wallet and suck everything
Once you provide them the opportunities. Better not to touch anything, it will keep you safe from the hands of those attackers
the more you ignore, the more you protect your real assets.
