Identifying a scam crypto airdrop can save you from losing funds or compromising your personal information.

**10 signs** to look out for:

### 1. **Requires Upfront Payment**
Legitimate airdrops are typically free. If you're asked to send cryptocurrency or pay a fee to participate, it's likely a scam.

### 2. **Asks for Private Keys or Seed Phrases**
No legitimate airdrop will ever ask for your private keys or wallet seed phrase. Sharing these will result in theft of your funds.

### 3. **Unrealistic Promises**
If an airdrop promises incredibly high rewards that seem "too good to be true," it probably is.

### 4. **Lack of Official Communication**
Legitimate airdrops are announced through the project's official website or verified social media channels. Be cautious if the offer only comes from unverified sources.

### 5. **Unverified Project or Unknown Team**
If the project or team behind the airdrop lacks a transparent online presence or a verifiable history, it's suspicious.

### 6. **Phishing Websites**
Scammers often create fake websites, mimicking legitimate projects. Verify the URL and check for SSL security (padlock symbol in the address bar).

### 7. **Excessive Personal Information Requests**
Be wary if an airdrop asks for sensitive personal information like ID numbers, credit card details, or extensive KYC for minimal rewards.

### 8. **Time Pressure**
Scammers often create urgency with phrases like "limited time only" to pressure you into acting without thinking.

### 9. **Social Media Spam and Fake Accounts**
Scam airdrops often use bots or fake accounts to flood social media with promotional messages. Check for engagement quality and verify accounts.

### 10. **Unusual Wallet Access Requests**
If the airdrop asks you to connect your wallet to an untrusted or unfamiliar platform, it could execute malicious transactions without your consent.

Be safe!
