Some airdrops require personal info from their users like government approved ID proof, a selfie with it, contact number, email, address etc. Does this information really required? How to know if somebody is scamming you for asking this kind of information?
In my own suggestion as much as I do not participate in airdrops, I think airdrops that ask for vital and personal information like this should not be paid attention to because I do not believe there is any need for all this before you can participate in the airdrop.

Most of the airdrops do not require these documents. Your ID and selfie are your personal information. You should be careful. They may be stealing your information. This is a fake airdrop!

i don't support such venture, because i have done many of such project but nothing seems to be yielding, moreover on those airdrop after seeking for your details they won't pay anything even if they paid it will worthless , so i suggest you not to participate in such ventures.
i really dont get it!
but they lures you with huge reward and you cant say no to it!
cause at the end we all want to be crypto millionaire and they don't want to loose any opportunity!
Thus your information gets stolen without any point!
i suggest be safe then sorry!😁

I can't imagine giving an Airdrop more than my email and wallet address.
This is KYC, If you don't want to see scam projects, then that's a good project
Most airdrops only need emails, phone numbers or help it forward some articles, and generally don't ask for very private information!
This is an industry with a lot of scammers. Airdrops and bounty programs should not require an ID. Giving up personal information is dangerous. If the airdrop becomes super valuable, the KYC will end up being done before you cash out.
Its a policy called KYC. I wouldn't recommend participate in those ICO that requires KYC. Cryptocurrency is meant to be anonymous process then why should I give you my personal information. Be aware of that your personal information can be misused if you don't know your receiver properly.I do not recommend sharing personal information so easily.
if the airdrop program like that is very very suspicious and I am afraid of being misused by the party who held the program, like my airdrop there is a good and there is also a scam
If there is an airdrop that needs to provide the information you said, then this airdrop must be deceptive. They may steal your private information as a way to make money!
Stay away from those airdrops need your personal information. They want to sell your information for quick money. Most of the airdrops are giving away very small amount of their coin/token on airdrop. The ones offering a lot of coin they are worthless.
Do not trust that kind of airdrop. They just want steal your information for sale.
Yep, this is better way of avoiding your identities to be stolen by these scheme makers. Airdrops are free but why do they have to ask for your identity?It's fine if you are joining and investing their ICO but if it is airdrop, there's no need to do so.
Giving your identity and information to these projects that held airdrops voluntarily shouldn't be done. Don't be too attached with airdrop.

If you have fund over the 1000 USD on coinbase wallet means it will ask you to verify the documents and self photo of yours to make the transaction to any wallet mate.
Then you need to verify the documents for most of the airdrops. Still I am not sure what is the reason for sharing the kyc details mate.
before I apologize, only fools who want to submit about our personal information, because it can be in use by people - people who are not responsible for a gain.
so essentially never submit any information they ask.
it's true in the world of crypto is full of risks, but we do not take that risk especially in the air droplets.

I would be very cautious at which ICO airdrops you participate in that request personal information.
Although I see the reason behind it. Just make sure you investigate the project and team first.
And if the airdrop comes to a couple bucks... Jusg forget it. Not worth it

Yes, not just ICO though I would be very careful with anything that wants your personal information. I was more free giving it out in the past but now I see more spam coming to my emails and my Telegram, I regret giving out even my username in the past just for whitelisting. I cannot tell exactly which ICOs it was that led to my spam, but I have my suspicions.
Of course,,, now that everything will be regulated, they do need KYC. So just make sure you are confident in the team and their project in being legitimate first. A few dollars is definitely not worth it.
I do not rule out bad cases that may occur. Even if it's a real bounty campaign, if the project requires KYC, I'll skip the campaign. I have a lot of annoying bugs, I get a lot of requests through the mailbox and the phone. It seems like a scam has spread my information. Be more careful with KYC
kyc confirmation or sending id copy is very suspicious for airdrops. they made a token with costless but you give them potential personal unique informations. dont trust them.
