Imagine, after many tasks were done over time without knowing, suddenly when the effort is about to bear fruit the project is requesting for more, perhaps something many people will not be able to afford/sacrifice. What a waste of time! Xempire mandates you to make a TON transaction before you are eligible to airdrop and when I tried to check where the gross approach was heading, I discovered you have to part ways with a whole 0.5 TON, who does that? For what you are not even sure of the price or receive something up to the 0.5 TON's worth? This is pathetic.
This is one major reasons that made me dislike airdrops and after trying much times to published your ref links to people around you would still have to make some initial deposit to be able to withdraw your funds from the platform which I find it very stressful and annoying.
This scam isn't a new thing and people has been falling prey for such airdrop especially those newbies who doesn't know about how the system works, they would go ahead making deposits to sure for them to received their airdrops since would be fighting to have free coins from them.
The fact that people even get to post different links to different social media platforms just to get the opportunity to get some tokens is not the problem but after doing all the required task and spending money to buy some coin to be eligible to receive the airdrop and after that the project will exist no more is the big problem.
Newbies are not the only people that has been scammed lately because the number of airdrops are increasing daily and the newbies can not afford to be losing it they have been scammed several times I think the originators of the airdrops targets those people who are already in the crypto space because they are more exposed to knowing the potentials in a project when it is not launched. People are already aware that airdrop scams are real but since they can not stay away from free things they are not getting away from scammers.
