I recently received an email where I found fake Stellar Lumens Airdrop to join.So I decided to share with all beginners to stay safe and not to be trapped by the scammers.

I am Sure that it's an action from Because They are offering almost 3.5 billion lumens to be distributed. And They are forcing to fill up a form to get airdrop coins which is not an official site and looks like a scam website.

Received Email From:

Code:

noreply@gocarefinder.com

You can Block him.

Website Where to Claim:

Code:

https://secure-stellar.org/account-viewer/#!/

Distribution Amount: 3.5 Billion XLM

But This site isn't working for now and can be reopened at any time.And If you receive any email like this don't submit any form and just ignore it.

In the screenshot I have marked the all scam indicates

They are forcing to claim by providing a scam link that is marked and the site link already noted above.

Warning: Now These types of scams are happening rapidly so be wise and research more

Nice catch, scams such as these are very common, and you should protect your personal details to prevent it falling into the hands of scammers. Do not give out email addresses to unverified sites, if you suspect a site to be a scam and it requests for an address, I'll suggest you use a throw away address. Protonmail and tutanota have been recommended by forum members for this purpose of creating a disposable email address. There are other options you can research on

Also, if you are posting a site link, I'll recommend you do not make it clickable, as some users can fall victim to malwares. You can use what I did in the quote above or include it in a code:

Code:

I won't be surprised about this scam again, especially from fake Stellar project... you can see how many fraudster using stellar name to scam people :

All you need is double check their URL before submit your email and password, the right Stellar domain is here https://www.stellar.org/ . If you find another airdrop not from this domain, it's all scam.

I'm fully aware of this scamming trick, and the scammers don't just use Stellar only, they can use other popular coins like bch eos Tron neo to get their victims trap, I used to get such mails often but I don't bother looking because I knew it's not legit Airdrop
