...Any comments would be appreciated...
It's good that you asked for advice on the forum before visiting a phishing site and giving approval to write off the contents of your wallet. You should question every airdrop distribution, because in order to get any airdrop, you need to perform certain actions for the benefit of the project. And what did you do to claim $1250?
simply ask yourself, if it is too-good-to-be-true, then high likely that it is a scam. a legit airdrop won't just give you free thousand bucks without doing anything. guess, a lot of people will be victims of this stunt.
