One constant fact that I've noticed since I got into crypto is that the moment a project or a company starts getting popular or begins to gain a huge follower base, it starts to attract scammers like Sugar to ants.
It honestly gets annoying after a while, I can't join a Telegram or Discord group without being DMed by a dozen of them, fake links flying here and there. A recent example is Bitget releasing a couple of articles to inform their users about phishing and a particular malicious browser extension named "AggrTrade". I've seen similar notifications from Binance, bybit also telling their users to be careful
I've always been careful about crypto projects, be it airdrop, bounty chase, NFT freebies and anything that will make me comprise my wallet and engaged on social media for one task or the other. Except for lately, when I started participating in tapping projects on Telegram, this was because of the success of Notcoin, other than that, anything free is not even my thing because it could cause issues later through various demands or compromises. After this tapping of a thing, I will stop entirely as I can only see that it is controlling.
Do this, or do that is certainly not my thing, but if you do not do it, your efforts will not be maximized, that's the temptation. Notwithstanding, one has to be very careful in the crypto world lately, there are too many projects and they are not verifiable, which makes it extremely risky. Binance has also been issuing a warning on the limitation we should give to any project no matter how true what they preach could be, this is a real warning that should not be disregarded. One could lose enough through phishing activities and other susceptible vices caused by the temptation of the freebies, we should be warned indeed and thanks to you.
