After having so many awful experiences in the crypto world, I decided to write this topic to save so many innocent users from new tricks from scammers even on this Cryptotalk forum. 
Myself, I am not an expert but I try my best to elaborate according to my pure experiences.Everything will be straight forward and I hope you might say aH-Ha at the end😉! Due to increasing craze in the cryptocurrency, so many people are entering in crypto world everyday.  Scammers are finding Airdrop and any sort of giveaway options are the best way to cheat newcomers. Let's see I am uncovering the scammer's tricks.

First of all, they promote their so-called airdrops, bounty programs, and giveaway programs on airdrop notifier different sites and channels like telegram channels, airdroprating.io, airdropalert.com ,medium page etc. Average people including newcomers are always looking for free cryptocurrency and scammers have clearly understood this fact so they create the attractive fake schemes first.Since participating in the most airdrops is not so hard, which includes completing some social media tasks like;

  • Twitter follow and retweet,
  • Facebook page Like, follow and share,
  • Telegram/Discord group/channel join,
  • LinkedIn/Medium follow,
  • YouTube channel subscribe and,
  • Website registrations and KYC verification

After getting so many followers on their social media networks, they list their useless currency on lower ranked cryptocurrency exchange sites with extremely lower 24 hours trading volumes or zero in some cases where you can not find any potential buyers. Now it's time to widespread their fake schemes by highlighting like their coins/tokens are already listed on some exchange sites.This is a turning point, not only newcomers, even some experienced players might fall in this trap because cryptocurrency which is already listed on exchange sites(most of the people do not care about quality of exchange for the very first time) can drop our attentions.

Now let's see their scamming trick step-wise.

 

  1. To claim the airdrop, they ask for fee in ETH or BTC and you have to fill the separate Google form to reclaim no matter where you have initially filled the form for airdrop like on telegram bot or even on their own separate form.In the google form they may ask following things to spot your bank account;

    -Primary email address

    -Phone numbers

    -KYC document ID 

    A reason behind asking information via google form is to spot your Gmail id. So what benefits will they get from your Gmail id?If you are chrome browser user on both Android Smartphone and PC, you have to login Google to enable sync feature.On android device, one Gmail id can work for all existing applications like PlayStore, YouTube, Chrome Browser, Gmail app etc.They start to attack by sending malicious links to your Gmail inbox.Some of their email may also contain attractive offers according to your interests. So how they detect the things that you love the most? As per their Airdrop requirements, you should already have to subscribe their YouTube channel. They track your watch history,liked videos, and subscriptions to detect which contents you love the most on YouTube(It is advised, always keep your YouTube account in private mode).There will be the greatest chances of clicking on the links which you have received in your mailbox along with attractive offers. So how dangerous will it be if you wrongly click on such malicious links?

  2. They may send you coins/tokens in your personal wallet and immediately launch the another serious of Airdrop say "Round 2 Airdrop", reason behind to do so is, they want to show continuous effort for project so that participants are not leaving their trap so early.

  3. They start to show hopes like they are going to list their tokens/coins on some bigger exchange and keep encouraging participants to participate in their selfdrop by depositing ETH, BTC,LTC etc so that they are getting enough funds to cover listing fees.

    (Note:-Selfdrop is a type of offer where participant has to deposit certain amounts of cryptocurrencies to expect tokens/coins as a return from some projects)

  4. When their promised listing date comes very closer, now they create announcements, they are about to cancel agreements with their mentioned bigger exchange's listing by showing the fake reasons like;

    -the exchange is not working according to their favor,and
    -their partner has cheated them to harm their project by grabbing away most of the tokens and coins.

  5. After that, they ask participants for token swap and fee again for swapping purpose by accusing the reasons, their earlier token has become bad performer and they are about to create another unique tokens. At this stage, again participants can not leave their trap because they would have already invested the amounts in their selfdrp programs to expect huge profits and again they will be compelled to pay fee for token swapping purpose.

 

At the end, neither they list their coins/ Tokens on the exchange nor they return collected funds from the users.They rush away by closing everything like telegram group/channel, Facebook/Twitter etc. 

So for free airdrop you are not just expecting free crypto but also you are opening your entire secrets to scammers according to their needs.

 

HERE ARE TIPS TO AVOID BOUNTY AND AIRDROP SCAMS

  • Never pay the amounts to participate in the airdrop.If some project is repeatedly asking for deposit from any types of offers like selfdrop,token/coin swap etc, never trust them. If they are begging money every time, how can you be sure for their project's continuity in the future? 
  • Since the real projects work very hard to create their website and contents for social media platforms, check if there are poorly managed official website or social media channels.Always do not forget to check following details,
    -Team behind the project and company registration number, official location, contact details etc.Some website may show a fake team information and photos, try to use search engines properly to find stock photos or other's random photos if they are being used. You can use these search engines YandexGoogle , and Bing where you can upload photo to get details about that.
    -Uniqueness/vision of project and their white paper( Do not forget to check if contents on white paper are copied from external sources. There are so many online free tools to detect copied content)
  • Never share your all real personal information including sensitive KYC documents, Primary emails, Phone number and permanent address
  • For participating any types of airdrop, I advise you to use brand new cryptocurrency wallet address not an address from your main account and also do not share private key.
  • Never response to spam email, if you reply them, they will be able to track your real IP address and always use good quality premium antivirus software.
  • If you see any of symptoms which resemble above mentioned cases, get away from them. 

Thank You!

Stay Safe 😍

I've actually taken part in thousands of airdrops. Most of them didn't pay anything and were just scams. There were a few of them that were lucrative though. 

You have everything covered on your post and it is really detailed. I would only add that there are scam projects that demand to download wallets. apps or browser extensions. I suggest to everyone to be careful and if they aren't certain that these apps are safe, then don't download them. There are many cases of viruses inside such apps and these viruses specifically target cryptocurrency wallets.

I am also about to create topics for such scamming tricks too. Hackers first adjust app and extensions to steal sensitive user's data from the devices by asking for unwanted permissions.Some experienced person may easily detect such suspicious activities but newcomers may easily fall into their traps.

Very good and detailed article! I will definitely link this article in the future for anyone needing this info.

 

I myself am not afraid on leaking some bank details, but i guess it depends on where you live. In my country it would be next to impossible for outsider to get in my bank account.

 

But what i am worried about is malware that tracks my passwords, private keys, and steals wallets etc. Even though i am using 2fa, these days keeping your email and backup email safe, is equally important, because those can be used to steal your accounts and sometimes reset 2fa.

You are right friend, its better to trade slowly and earn little profit rather that to invest in many airdrop sites. Many of them are fake and they will still both our money and our personal details because there are airdrops which they need KYC.

Wonderful and a very comprehensive post, this should be pinned to to the section. I am not so much interested in Airdrops, I check on my reliable sources to confirm any airdrop before putting in for it and I avoid airdrop with KYCs, it has been the ways of the scammers nowadays so I lost interest in it, there is not even legit ones beforehand.

All the big traders say that airdrops have become a clear method of fraud and it seems to have been exposed and with the passage of time people give up on this experience I hope the community will get rid of these because they are promoting fake codes only in order to obtain the deposit and then they close the project and steal the money

Very well detailed explanation. It is very important for all of us to know how these scammers make us fool and traps us to steal our money. My only suggestion is that never pay any amount first if any platform or airport asked you to do so. It's the easiest way to spot a scam project and don't expose yourself to hackers by giving them your personal information.

This is a really good post. Fraud operations have become widespread and beginners are the people most vulnerable to fraud because their experience in this field is scarce, so they should advise them to avoid access to untrusted sites and applications so that they are not deceived.

now ain't this an elaborate explanation. I have been reading for awhile to see how to avoid such scammers and some other stuffs regarding topics like this. thank you for lending your time and sharing this info.

Scammers can be avoided, only we should just learn more about cryptocurrencies  and avoid malware, scammers and hackers. 

But, using cryptocurrencies  do not make use anonymous but privacy is what we care more about.

You can not be anonymous while using bitcoin or cryptocurrencies, creating wallet can make you anonymous but ones you send or receive transactions, you are not anonymous. 

Have you got the crux of matter what this tutorial is addressing 😊? Personal information still will not be public when you use Bitcoin wallet. Well, wallet balance and transferred amounts can be seen but in the true sense of understanding, your no personal information like name, address,etc will be public. Honestly, I am trying to save users from scammers and their trap by not letting them to leak sensitive information to the scammers.

Still there are many that keep senting their documents without caring. I guess they think they might have nothing to lose right now, but they don't think of the future. Cryptocurrencies may be lucrative for some people and they make become targets of scammers if they do not take care of their privacy.

Actually I have joined in some AirDrop which behave as same as you have mentioned. But I have joined through the temporary email address and never sent any amount to get their bad tokens. And they were acting just like you said launching round 2, asking users to deposit eth to get their tokens, asking gas fee for sending their tokens. And the worst thing is that they made promises like if you pay gas fee we will use our funds to get listed in better exchanges. I have suspected them earlier and it's confirmed now.

Not only you have experienced such before, they call it VIP fee, to be paid in ether. If paid, all your money given them gone. I was supposed to have fall victim before, but thanks to this forum for their useful information. 

With what I have known now, the best way to be safe is to never believe strangers, especially on Sofia media like telegram. Also YouTube and many other channels like that can be a scam. Also, we should be able to protect yourself from malware like keyloggers. With these, I think we can protect ourselves from scammers.

Now scammers have found another techniques i.e. recommending users to install malware infected browser extensions by showing some attractive offers. Once user install such extension then malware starts to work for cryptojacking purpose.

    • Вера в рост BTC и ETH падает: эксперт ссылается на метрики опционов, которые прямо на это указывают   Трейдер Гордон Грант уверен, что значительное снижение подразумеваемой волатильности (IV - Implied Volatility) базовых опционов ATM «на деньгах» на Биткоин и Эфириум наиболее точно отражает настроение трейдеров. Он считает, что данная ситуация указывает на существенное снижение веры трейдеров в рост цен на ведущие криптовалюты в ближайшее время. Мнение Гранта опубликовало издание The Block.   Согласно представленным трейдером метрикам, где он сравнивает изменения цен на недельные и месячные контракты на опционы ETH, видно что  ATM c конца апреля буквально рухнула на 30% (с 88% до 58%).   BTC ATM обвалилась в тех же пропорциях. Изменение стоимости страйка опциона на главную криптовалюту «на деньгах» на том же временном диапазоне показывает обвал с 80% до почти 50%.   Гордон Грант считает, что такая ситуация на рынке опционов указывает на то, что продавцы после произошедшего халвинга не верят в рост Биткоина. По крайней мере в ближайшее время они этого точно не ожидают. Графики показывают, что опционные трейдеры утратили надежду на рост лидеров криптовалютного рынка, поэтому перестают холдить. Проданные контракты и создали это крутое пике.   Грант прокомментировал ситуацию так: «Cреднесрочная структура IV опционов показывает крутой перекос, который произошёл лавинообразно вследствие вышеупомянутой динамики котировок. Также ситуация связана с потенциальным возбуждением волатильности ведущей криптовалюты во второй половине 2024 года и в следующем году».   Грант указывает на то, что на рынке опционов на данный момент присутствует уверенность в том, что цена исполнения будет значительно ниже ожидаемой ранее. Участники рынка опционов, согласно метрикам, считают с равной долей вероятности, что Биткоин к концу года достигнет $75 000 и $100 000 соответственно. Это сравнимо с ситуацией в марте, когда на рынке была уверенность в том, что курс поднимется выше $73 000.   Грант считает, что ходлеры очень поздно пришли на рынок, чтобы получить высокую прибыль от волатильности до халвинга. При этом стали спешно уходить, когда премии стали слишком «жирными», что также послужило причиной обвала ATM.   На сегодняшний день премии настолько снизились, что BTC опционы с экспирацией на $100 000 продаются уже с дисконтом в 10%, при том что ещё в декабре премия составляла 20%. Вера рынка в то, что цена достигнет данного значения к концу года, существенно снизилась.   Стоит напомнить, что 1 мая котировки Bitcoin упали ниже $57 000.   Что касается прогнозов других аналитиков, то отметим, что ещё в апреле специалисты Glassnode писали о том, что график цены Биткоина формирует дно в области $60 000 — 66 000. При этом они предупредили, что если цена главной криптовалюты упадёт ниже указанных значений, то такая ситуация спровоцирует панику на рынке и приведёт к лавинообразному обвалу стоимости BTC.   Аналитики JPMorgan предрекали подобный исход. Их прогноз был куда более пессимистическим. В марте они предсказывали, что после халвинга Биткоин уйдёт на коррекцию вплоть до $42 000.

    • В 2024 году на рынок вышли токены с капитализацией $8,6 млрд   Известный криптовалютный эксперт Тор Хартвигсен опубликовал сообщение в социальной сети X, в котором рассказал о новых альткоинах, появившихся за первые 4 месяца 2024 года. Он заверил, что участники рынка могли наблюдать значительный рост предложения альтернативных цифровых валют. Аналитик отметил самые главные стартапы, которые вспомнил и подсчитал рыночную (MCAP), а также их полностью разводненную, капитализацию (FDV).   Эксперт опубликовал соответствующую таблицу, в которой наглядно продемонстрировал ключевые показатели. Исследователь отметил, что большинство из активов — это проекты Binance IEO. Тор Хартвигсен подчеркнул, что «на рынок вышло уже $8,6 млрд дополнительных ликвидных поставок». При этом в ближайшие годы будет разблокировано в общей сложности еще $70,5 млрд по текущему курсу.
    • CryptoNews of the Week     – Investors may not see a rise in the price of the main cryptocurrency to new historical highs in the coming months. Optimism about the launch of cryptocurrency ETFs in Hong Kong quickly dwindled, and bitcoin began to search for its bottom again. Liquidations of long positions reached $230 million per day, according to CoinGlass monitoring. It seems that bearish sentiments arose because the trading volumes of new ETFs in Hong Kong were significantly lower than expected, which led to a capital outflow from BTC-ETFs on US exchanges. According to Glassnode analysts, bullish sentiments persist as the market prefers the "buy on the dip" approach. However, they acknowledge that losing support at around $60,000 could lead to a crash in the BTC price to $52,000. Another expert, Alan Santana, believes bitcoin could fall even lower, possibly to $30,000.   – Legendary trader, analyst, and head of Factor LLC, Peter Brandt, has allowed for a 25% probability that bitcoin has already formed another peak (ATH) in the current cycle on March 14 at a high of $73,745. The expert referred to the concept of "exponential decay," which describes a process of decreasing growth by a constant percentage over a specific period. "Historically, bitcoin has traded within approximately four-year cycles often associated with halvings. After the initial bull rally, there were three more, each 80% less powerful than the previous in terms of price growth," the specialist explained. "In my analysis, I estimated the probability [of such a scenario] at 25%. However, I trust the report I published in February more. [...] The 'pre/post-halving' cycle construction suggests that the current bullish trend will reach its peak in the range of $140,000–160,000 somewhere in late summer/early autumn 2025," clarified Peter Brandt. Giovanni Santostasi, CEO of Quantonomy, questioned the appropriateness of applying the theory of exponential decay in this particular case. "We have three data points if we exclude the period before the [first] halving, and effectively only two when looking at the ratios. This is insufficient for conducting any significant statistical analysis," Santostasi commented on Brandt's assumption. According to his own power-law model, the peak of the fourth cycle is expected around December 2025, at approximately $210,000. It is worth noting that not only Giovanni Santostasi but also many other participants in the crypto market are counting on the continuation of the bull rally and achieving a new ATH. For example, Glassnode analyst James Check hopes that the BTC rate at this stage will reach $250,000. Even Peter Brandt himself mentioned $200,000 as a potential target in the February report he cited.   – The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has examined the first cryptocurrency and its impact on global markets in a new report. The organisation recognises the asset's ability to positively influence the economy. According to the IMF, digital gold is "the key to autonomy" for many countries in difficult financial situations. The report highlights the growing popularity of bitcoin and its acceptance in various jurisdictions, while the tense geopolitical situation has made assets like bitcoin and gold "more relevant."   – According to analysts from Spot On Chain, their forecasting model, developed using an extensive dataset, takes into account halvings, interest rate cycles, ETF factors, venture investor activity, and bitcoin sales by miners. Using the artificial intelligence platform Vertex AI from Google Cloud, Spot On Chain obtained price forecasts for bitcoin for the years 2024-2025. According to calculations, the price of the first cryptocurrency will be in the range of $56,000-70,000 from May to July, characterised by increased volatility. In the second half of 2024, there is a 63% probability that BTC will rise to $100,000. "This forecast signals prevailing bullish sentiments in the market, which will be facilitated by the expected reduction in interest rates [by the US Federal Reserve]. This could increase the demand for risk assets such as stocks and bitcoin," representatives of Spot On Chain explained. According to their data, there is a "convincing probability" – 42% – that in the first half of 2025, digital gold will surpass the $150,000 mark, as the first cryptocurrency typically updates its historical maximum 6-12 months after each halving. If we consider the entire year of 2025, the chances of growth to $150,000 increase to 70%.   – Cathy Wood, CEO of Ark Invest, confirmed her long-term forecast for Ethereum. In her opinion, the main altcoin is capable of catching up with bitcoin. She believes that by 2032, its market capitalization will reach an impressive $20 trillion. Based on current values, the main altcoin should consistently trade above $160,000 by that time. Highlighting her views, Cathy Wood emphasized that technologically, Ethereum is more advanced compared to the flagship cryptocurrency. Moreover, at the moment, it remains the most in-demand platform for deploying smart contracts and decentralized applications of any complexity. In March, the price of ETH exceeded $4,000, but this was followed by a deep correction coinciding with geopolitical escalation in the Middle East, leading investors to flee from high-risk assets. Instead, they focused on diversification and began investing capital in traditional financial instruments. In light of these events, the key beneficiaries were the dollar and US Treasury bonds, as well as precious metals.    – Mark Yusko, CEO of Morgan Creek Capital, expects a massive inflow of funds into the cryptocurrency market as wealth estimated at $30 trillion from baby boomers seeks to enter digital assets. According to the businessman, capital flows will most likely come from them – those born between 1946 and 1964 – through pension accounts managed by advisors. (According to the Investment Advisor Association, in 2022, US financial advisors managed assets worth more than $114 trillion). Yusko mentioned that the introduction of BTC-ETFs has significantly changed demand. However, the full effect of this is yet to be felt. "I believe that within 12 months, $300 billion will enter this area – this is 1% of the $30 trillion. In fact, this is more money than has ever been converted into bitcoin in 15 years. We've only been working with ETFs for about three months, and we've received about 10% of what I think comes into this area from registered investment advisors who control all the boomers' money," stated Yusko, adding that the inflow could potentially increase the crypto market's capitalization to $6 trillion.   – American regulators, according to the administrator of Bitcoin.org known as Cobra, are preparing to impose a complete ban on self-custody of cryptocurrency. This means that US citizens will have to involve intermediaries who will store digital assets. "If you think the government won't come for your bitcoins, you simply haven't paid attention to this," Cobra scares readers on the X social network page. Cobra recently assured subscribers that a split might occur within the Bitcoin community. There are those who want the network to remain unchanged and those who would like to add more features to Bitcoin, expanding the network's capabilities. Cobra is confident that these disagreements could negatively affect the ecosystem of the first cryptocurrency.   – American entrepreneur and investor Chris Dixon criticised the tightening measures taken by regulators regarding cryptocurrencies. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is increasingly suing crypto companies, claiming they are trading unregistered securities. This has caused Dixon great concern. "The US has an absurd cryptocurrency regulation regime. [...] Major industry companies developing blockchain-based solutions face constant pressure. Existing rules encourage platforms to host only memecoins, which can be freely traded on markets without any restrictions, rather than other more useful crypto assets," stated Dixon. Further in his forecasts, the administrator of Bitcoin.org under the nickname Cobra believes that the US authorities are preparing to introduce a complete ban on self-custody of cryptocurrency. This means that citizens of the country will have to involve intermediaries who will store their digital assets. "If you think the government won't come for your bitcoins, you just haven't paid attention to this," Cobra scares readers on the pages of social network X.   – The Federal Court of Seattle (USA) has delivered a verdict in the case of the co-founder and former CEO of the largest crypto exchange, Binance, Changpeng Zhao. It is noted that the businessman was accused of crimes related to money transfers without a license. While the prosecution had requested three years of imprisonment, the defense suggested settling for five months of probation. Representatives of the Justice Department insisted that probation for CZ was inappropriate as "such a decision could encourage others to break the law on the largest possible scale." The defence argued the absence of evidence that the defendant was informed of the illegal activities on the exchange. As a result, one of the wealthiest people in the crypto industry got away with four months of imprisonment. Addressing his final words, Changpeng Zhao acknowledged that he had failed to properly establish a suitable client verification system at Binance and to counteract money laundering during his tenure. Recall that in November 2023, Zhao reached a settlement with the US government to end a years-long investigation against Binance. As part of the agreement, he stepped down as CEO and agreed to pay a fine of $50 million. However, as we see, the US authorities found this insufficient, and now, in addition to dismissal and a fine, a prison term has been added.

    • Почему цена биткоина столь волатильна и наступит ли стабильность?   Биткоин по-прежнему поражает своими непредсказуемыми изменениями цены. В момент своего создания его стоимость равнялась нескольким центам, а в марте этого года он достиг рекордного максимума на отметке почти $74 000. Этот долгий путь был отмечен крайней волатильностью, а иногда его колебания превышали 80%. Понимание нестабильной природы биткоина имеет решающее значение для успеха инвесторов и аналитиков, поскольку помогает составить представление о будущем криптовалют. Волатильность биткоина обусловлена множеством факторов, которые заключаются в характеристиках очень молодой цифровой валюты. В отличие от традиционных активов, имеющих многовековую историю, биткоин и рынок криптовалют в целом не имеют устоявшейся динамики рынка. В настоящее время из-за манипуляций его стоимость регулярно переоценивается рынком, что приводит к большим колебаниям цен в ответ на новую информацию и события. Одним из фундаментальных факторов, влияющих на волатильность BTC, является лимитированность его предложения в 21 миллион монет. Усиливающийся дефицит монет усиливает колебания цен, особенно на фоне растущего спроса со стороны розничных и институциональных инвесторов. Кроме того, влияние крупных инвесторов, которых обычно называют криптокитами, ещё больше усугубляет волатильность цен. Их значительные активы позволяют им влиять на динамику рынка с помощью крупных ордеров на покупку или продажу, что также приводит к резким изменениям цен. И здесь следует упомянуть относительную незрелость инфраструктуры рынка криптовалют и проблемы с ликвидностью, поэтому любые крупные сделки, безусловно, влияют на рыночные цены. Недостаток ликвидности может усилить колебания цен, поскольку инвесторы маневрируют, открывая позиции и выходя из них. Считалось, что появление деривативов, связанных с биткоином в виде спотовых ETF, и развитие рыночной инфраструктуры могут сделать торговый процесс более стабильным. Пока же мы наблюдаем резкие скачки из-за крупных притоков и оттоков средств. Источник - https://ru.investing.com/news/cryptocurrency-news/article-2410618
    • April Results: A British Pound Trade Nets NordFX Client Over $25,000 in Profit     Brokerage firm NordFX has summarized the trading performance of its clients for April 2024. The efficacy of social trading services, PAMM and CopyTrading, as well as the earnings of the company’s IB-partners were also evaluated.   - This month’s highest profit was earned by a client from South Asia, account number 1765XXX, who made $26,757 from trading the GBP/USD pair. - The second place in the TOP-3 was taken by their compatriot, account number 1751XXX, with earnings of $16,976 from gold trades (XAU/USD). - The third step of the April podium was claimed by a trader from East Asia, account number 1609XXX, who traded not physical but digital “gold”: bitcoin. It was the BTC/USD pair transactions that enabled them to profit by $14,301.   The passive investment services at NordFX showed the following trends:   - In the PAMM service, we continue to monitor the account named Kikos2. Opened on November 18 last year, now after 162 days of operation, it shows a fantastic profit of 1161%. While this result is impressive, the aggressive trading strategy has also led to a substantial drawdown of 58%. Unrelenting statistics demonstrate that even more conservative trading can lead to a complete loss of funds. Therefore, investors must always exercise utmost caution and only risk the money whose loss will not disrupt their normal life. We will continue to monitor and see what happens with this account in May.    - In CopyTrading, we have previously highlighted the signal yahmat-forex, which has shown a return of 415% over 312 days with a maximum drawdown of 37%. Another interesting signal called NordFXSrilanka has made a profit of 39% in 113 days, specifically since January 6, 2024. While not as impressive as yahmat-forex, its notable advantage is a very small drawdown: just about 9%.   Among the IB-partners of NordFX, the TOP-3 are as follows: - The largest commission reward of $22,732 was credited to a partner from Western Asia, account number 1645XXX. - The next is a partner from South Asia, account number 1682XXX, who received $5,224. - Finally, rounding out the top three is their compatriot, account number 1565XXX, who was rewarded with $3,614.   ***   As we conclude this month, it is important to note that NordFX clients now have yet another excellent opportunity to enhance their financial portfolio. In the 2024 super lottery, 202+4 cash prizes totaling $100,000 will be awarded. Participating in the lottery and securing a chance to win one or even several of these prizes is quite simple.

    • Со временем которое осталось, да скорее все так и может быть, но лучше будет постараться дойти до 6-го уровня, то есть довести дело до конца, а после и расслабиться. Хотя даже так увы нет никаких гарантий, что это может нам что-то принести, но будем надеяться, что 6 лвл будет иметь весомое значение при раздаче.
