Clicking on a suspicious link alone is dangerous enough but once you click a link it might not be totally over yet. A website could just be imitating another legitimate one, but you would still have to input some information for them to actually hack you so when you click a link try to look for suspicious signs. If a website seems informal and is littered with spelling mistakes and random characters, most likely it is not legit.

especially if you are an airdrop seeker, you are very vulnerable to fraud by connecting your wallet to their website and without realizing it, your assets are lost due to phishing.
This is honestly one of the reasons why I am a bit skeptical of airdrops. Itis hard to flush out the scams and differentiate them from the potentially promising projects.
It is literally not that hard though if the seeker for airdrops would get rid of greed and try to do due diligence about the team/developers before getting to participate in any airdrops.  Like if you know this ain't popular airdrop and practically just fewer persons are only talking about it, then it's a good sign to stay off and only hint after those   with a working official social media page that are with large community engagement.

Consequently, if you're after airdrops you should know well not to make use of wallets that you have funds in there but rather a burner wallet where there's little or no funds at all, just specifically for airdrops connections.
