Adopting an airdrop method to scam airdrop hunters is one of the oldest methods which is still in use by various scammers. They allow you claim their tokens with malicious contract address in airdrops which gives them access to steal your funds when you interact with their contract.
Another of such airdrop is the ongoing AI Tokens airdrop. They have distributed their token through telegram bots to participants but the token locked. They currently have close to 1M holders who probably got the token through airdrop.
The suspicion about them starts few weeks ago when they asked their holders to verify their addresses by interacting with a dapp which is suspected to be a means of phishing their target wallets and steal from them.
Crypto communities most especially newbies have to be careful about such airdrop in other not to fall a cheap victim to scam.

This kind of scam has been around for some time so people do not really have an excuse to keep falling for it, scammers know very well that many people more than anything are looking for a way to make a lot of profits without taking the effort necessary to reach their goal.

So by offering exactly that they know they will get a lot of desperate people willing to do anything to get the profits they are looking for, and this is how we end up with coins like this one, which offer an airdrop but such an airdrop is nothing more but a trap to see who is dumb enough to interact with those tokens from a wallet that has some funds.
