Lately, scammers have been getting more creative, even using other scammers to trick people. They're asking people to connect their wallets to claim tokens or pay transaction fees to receive funds. My approach is to thoroughly investigate on social media before engaging. I check if the token is genuinely being distributed, verify the legitimacy of their followers, see how many people have claimed the tokens, and ensure the Telegram group I'm following is authentic. It's crucial to double-check any airdrops before participating.
I don't know if it's only me, but I don't find these scammers creative. In fact, they're using the same tricks over and over again for the past few years.
Phishing sites? Posting free airdrops on Twitter? They can't even change their usernames. I mean just a quick google search and you will see that the username is different.
I don't find these scammers to be creative. You know what's the problem? Investors are too gullible to fall for these free money tricks by these scammers. Scammers are evolving, but investors aren't. Newbies will always have a higher chance of falling to these shitty tactics. I find this a very common way of scamming people, but it works and it's because investors are too fond of free money that they are forgetting if that's a scam or not
Nothing surprising especially now that we know how popular Coinmarketcap is. I believe they will be using Coingecko in the future as well. Whatever happens, don't fall for these free money schemes by these scammers. We always say to do a bit of a research first before making an action.
