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?
Personally, I think asking for all this information in an airdrop is not really necessary because they are personal details and should be kept personal. Though I do not do airdrops but I do not think you should supply this information to an airdrop.

I haven't done any airdrops that require authenticate, and I think of all of them as scam airdrops. I don't understand why airdrops would ask for this. Their motivation is very doubtful. Is it to steal our information?
This may be your way to identify fake airdrops, because those airdrop projects that require proof of identity and selfie are false!
I prefer to not to join anymore in any aidrops because now a days some of airdrops are wasting our time and effort and they want to steal our personal information and sometime our account.

You should know that sending of governments approved Id is to prove if you are human or some one trying to hide he or her identity. You are only scam if you put really money. If any airdrops ask you to send money that airdrop is scam.
It is definitely scam. I know airdrop don’t need a requirement that you mentioned this or kyc. Airdrop is coins free with the condition of you have to register beforehand. Many coins airdrop who does not sell.

Well if this airdrop will.ask me.to provide the documents they needed i will immediately get out of that project ,im smelling not good. The documents you pass will be use in scamming or illegal activities.

Don't do the KYC on airdrop. Almost airdrop token is useless because it does't match with minimum trade required from exchange and you can see the token stay in your wallet like infinity. If you want to earn more, join bounty campaign and you will earn enough to trade.
I use a one-hour break every day to find and complete some airdrops, because I want these amateur time to create some income for me!

This is KYC , they collect your information to prove you are human . But I think airdrop don't need KYC , you should be careful when giving information to someone because it can harm you
Some good Airdrop like Midas protocol require personal info. Its a policy called KYC but I believe in it. Most legit ICO require KYC nowsaday.
i think that was so suspicious.. because airdrop doesn't need an ID or kyc... maybe in bounty campaign there are some bounty that needs kyc.. but in airdrop i dont think that is required.
I have also encountered such a request for an airdrop, but I refuse to fulfill their request, because this behavior I think is touching my privacy, it should be a fraudulent project!
KYC requirements for bounty and airdrop campaigners are in my opinion impractical, although it is already found in many projects. I think all the same there is a certain risk when sending your personal documents

I think this maybe a form of anti cheat when the situation so much cheating, but also be careful when providing information for Airdrops because there may be some scam projects they will use on bad intentions
I think the airdrop project almost only needs your email, Twitter or Facebook, Discord's account, I have not encountered an airdrop that needs proof of identity!
There are now a lot of airdrops using id verification by the government. I find it funny how they sold their information for just a few dollars.
Most of the airdrop projects I do don't need KYC. If it asks me to provide any personal privacy, then I will give up the task of completing it. This is my choice!
Personally, I do not think it is really necessary to supply all this personal information before you can participate in an airdrop. This information is personally and should always remain personal because you are not even sure if the project will be successful.
Most of the airdrops I did just needed my email, phone number or help them forward some articles and didn't ask for any identification!
I have joined several airdrops but only a few of them gave tokens and when you check the token on its exchange you will see that the price is already dumped. Some people got lucky on having to earn money on airdrops via referral system. Do not just rely on airdrops if you want to earn.
Yeah i just don't do any airdrops that require KYC. Its to risky you don't know who your giving all your details to.
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?
I don't want to join in the airdrops if they need me to fill my personal info because I think it is too risky to give our information to another project which we don't know if they can exist in a long time. there are many other campaigns that we can join without having filled any document and I am too afraid to join in the campaign that requires personal info because they can use our document for their purposes.
It really need to be necessary for these scam project can be lost personal information.
I'm really worried about this, but now every airdrop project requires KYC, I've dropped a lot of projects because of this issue.
Personally, I do not think it is really necessary for you to give all this information before you can participate n an airdrop because they are personal details. For me, I will suggest that you shouldn't participate in an airdrop that require this information because it might be a scam project.
Wouldnt the info they get from such personal data, be more valuable than any small airdrop ? People should start considering their personal data as a valuable asset. not give it away simply
If not KYC, they will not accept, and if KYC is worried about fraudsters, it is difficult to decide.
I do not believe airdrops and I do not trust it, it seems to me that people are trying to steal account passwords
I prefer to not to join anymore in any aidrops because now a days some of airdrops are wasting our time and effort and they want to steel our personal information and sometime our account.
i think not for join Airdrop whom requiring KYC. Because Airdrops are giving reward away small of their token

if you don't feel safe then don't join those airdrops. actually, no one knows where they would use our document next time(after the ico). maybe they would destroy them or sell them to the black market for some quick money. it's too much risk to join airdrop with our identity document.
Some high-priced airdrops usually want our ID proof. But Be aware of that your personal information can be misused.I will do KYC if i know exactly about that project.Imust be sure that it's worth.There are some guarantees that then my personal data won't appear somewhere else.

It's not that easy to know the one's that will scam due to the packaging that such an airdrop put it's self, the best thing is not to give out the personal information requested from them, and snub such airdrop
KYC is needed to identify you as the owner, but are really worried whether it is a scam
It's hard to know if it's a scam or not. Because too many projects require KYC
Airdrops require a contact number, email is normal, but requires proof of identity and photos, etc., then it must be a problematic airdrop!
Most airdrops just need your email or help him with some promotional tasks! Some airdrops involving privacy are false!
I also have the same question, how do they know what they get our information to do ... if the fraud is very dangerous
I met too such airdrops where asked KYC. But I didn't begin to take part in them. Airdrops in itself not a really reliable thing, in sense of receiving tokens. And if it also KYC ask, then it too suspicious. I would advise to avoid such airdrops. There are no guarantees that then your personal data won't appear somewhere else.

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.
I have been doing airdrop for 2 months but they have not returned, I feel depressed.
Most airdrops only require your email, phone number or require you to use certain software to forward certain ads. If some airdrops require you to provide privacy such as an ID card or certain account passwords, then these airdrops must be false!
there are very interesting projects that can provide such information, but we must be sure that it's worth it. some projects make the collection of information through one-sided services -Dfiniti one of such projects

Some airdrop campaign just try steal your informations, for sell. I wasted so much time for airdrop in this year.

How to know if somebody is scamming you for asking this kind of information?
Such information should not be claimed when registering in airdrops. If you are faced with this situation, you should be alert. It is better not to contact such projects, as they can be a product of fraud. Beware of such requests.

Dont join airdrops whom requiring KYC to be able to receive their coin. Dont ever risk your personal information for some shitty coin out there. I think that airdrop is a scam who just want to gather many information to sell in black market. So stay away to that kind of airdrops.
I would not risk, it really looks very suspicious
profit and loss is common in business, it will be very easy to know, so also in airdrop, when there is too much demand from the company, we just skip it, we take the limited ability we wrote first, then if we are already senior and have a lot of knowledge about airdrop we take most of the project, that my suggestion maybe senior colleagues have input also let us as beginner to increase our knowledge
I would be very cautious at which ICO airdrops you participate in that request personal information.

Now market is trend down and are you think about future about Airdrops? I do not think it will have much value, and you say you have to put a lot of information to get it, I suppose the price is too high
You definitely have to be careful what you enter for personal information. Be careful of scammers out there. People creating coins just to steal information is possible.
never give our personal identity if only limited to airdrop. as we exchange valuable items that we have with paid or not how results of the airdrop. better search for another airdrop that does not require such terms because it will certainly be at risk if there is an abuse of the personal identity of ours.
i will never fill that info, because that is a personal info and can be misused by scamer to take advantage of our personal data, of course they can sell our private to some company.

yes I've seen and heard about this air droplet because I do not know by following airdrops we can get free tokens but here I see why they need proof like email, address and others, and what is this called with airdrops Scam
I have no idea why they want it. High-priced airdrops usually want ID proof, but whatever happens, I do not find it right. I do not recommend sharing personal information so easily.

Airdrop- are literally just simply free coins just waiting for you, also a decision regarding marketing strategy, a way to spread awareness to the relevant audience of potential investors and eventual enthusiasts, coins team will from time-to-time, do airdrops.
Polymath a few months ago did an airdrop requiring a KYC, worth about $200, and that amount is something huge for an airdrop.
So what you essentially ask is, is giving your ID thus risking identity theft is worth in the best case scenario a couple hundred dollars?
I personally think not.

I would not advise in general these airdrops. It's stupid, better lead the bounty and develop, and do not get a penny.

I usually avoid that kind of airdrops, it is not worth to give all those information about yourself for a few bucks worth of crypto.
Good airdrops are stake based, like when you get a founding stake in the project, like XEM or Elixir.
with very strong air pressure they inform themselves with honesty, sincerity, and the details of it just to get a token of a coin whose price is not necessarily profitable.for me personal commissions / tokens have not been worth the price than the value of honesty and sincerity value.
trade.io airdrop doesn't require such information and its FREE !!

Every legit ICO requires KYC/AML these days. I would like to know how you can invest without doing it 
Or do you have some legit ICO without KYC?

I wouldn't send this data. Then you can distribute it right away in new york. 
in my signature is a nice airdrop where everyone can get 400 token. and later comes an ico. maybe it's worth registering there. good luck.

Trusting your personal data is dangerous, so think about it many times before giving your data ... If I were you, I wouldn’t do it...
There should be some regulations regarding what information a company can ask from it's users. And people should not give this kind of information just for few bucks. That's really sad.

This is called KYC and they are asking it for knowing that your are real and not a scammer or multiple account abuser. You can investigate the project and team, then trust the people at your own risk.
I've seen such airdrops a few times.The information they require is so sensitive and people should not just give this kind of information in exchange of some coins which are worthless.

Good joke.Requiring such information should be prohibited in Airdrops. It looks suspicious. I hope that nobody will sell their ID for few bucks. Or
