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.
It is the new scamming scheme now through the telegram airdrop tapping fever that is invoke. I also discovered another similar one yesterday through a  colleague who requested for my assistance in making the 0.5 Ton transaction for him in order that he will be eligible for the airdrop, they call it Rocky Rabbit. Lol Grin At first I tried convincing him not to waste his money as much as he has wasted his time cos the project appears to not be genuine but he still insisted  he has to do the task. I granted his request waiting to see how that works for him eventually.
Funny how they place a limited time counter to put pressure on their victims that they carryout the task of sending the 0.5 ton. Am not against airdrops for I have made some fortune from it in past times but experience has thought me that genuine airdrop project that will pay it's loyal community won't necessarily have to take from them first.
it's such shady behavior putting counter and all, just to put pressure on the participant' psychology, this clearly reflect the intention of the project developer. which is just trying to make money off people.

nice finding out there, people doing airdrop need also to have basic on how to not get scammed by these shady dev, the success of not and dogs has picked the interest of these scammer, moving from solana to ton, I bet there will be more to come.

tbh, genuine airdrop usually request donation or sale in exchange for something, but this one just grant task completion like what, exchanging money for useless fabricated point.
