An airdrop scam is a fraudulent scheme distributing free tokens to crypto wallets, often demanding users connect their wallets or approve malicious transactions. These scams exploit the allure of complimentary assets to trick individuals into compromising their digital security. The primary goal is typically to drain assets from the victim’s wallet once approval is granted. Such incidents damage trust in legitimate token distribution methods.
