<p>No, it is <strong>not safe</strong>. Never share your 12 word phrase. It is a backup of your private key and allows people to spend your money. They only need your public key or Bitcoin address to give you money, not your private key.</p>

<p>Someone on Face Book said I could earn free crypto by appying for an airdrop. He told me to download Blockchain from app store to my phone. I did this and created my account with a password. I also created my 12-word phrase. I was then told to go to: <a href="https://www.blockchainairdroptechnology.com/" rel="noreferrer">https://www.blockchainairdroptechnology.com/</a>
This site then asked me to type in my 12-word phrase to receive my free crypto. Is this a safe thing to do? Is this a potential scam?<a href="https://i.sstatic.net/0e9Vr.png" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/0e9Vr.png" alt="BlockChainMessage" /></a></p>

In general, if you have to ask if something is a scam, it probably is :p

No, it is **not safe**. Never share your 12 word phrase. It is a backup of your private key and allows people to spend your money. They only need your public key or Bitcoin address to give you money, not your private key.
