Recent airdrop scams are surging, often using phishing links and impersonation tactics. Fake projects mimic legitimate ones with near-identical websites, social media, or token names (e.g., "Uniswap" vs. "Uniswep"). Phishing links, spread via emails, DMs, or comments, lead to malicious sites stealing wallet keys or funds. Red flags include urgent claims, requests for private keys, upfront payments, or typos in URLs. Scammers exploit FOMO with exaggerated rewards, using bots for fake engagement or hijacked accounts for credibility. Verify via official channels, avoid unknown links, and use burner wallets to minimize risks.
