I try not to participate in AirDrops where I need to pass KYC. Even if you are paid these coins, it will be about $ 10-100. It's not worth your passport details. I also do not participate in AirDrops, where you yourself about prepayment should pay the fee
Totally agree with you. I never send any amount if I am asked. Most likely it's scammers. Be careful!

Terima kasih buat semuanya yang telah mengigatkan untuk berhati-hati,memang untuk diwaktu sekarang harus bisa lebih hati-hati karena semakin banyak orang meminati dunia digital akan semakin banyak juga orang buat masuk untuk aksi menipu .
most airdrop only deceive us, i never follow airdrop because i know it is just deceptive ,, i prefer bounty it is more promising even if some fail .. so must be smart in choosing.
Thank you for enlightening us. there are a few things I want to add. AirDrop is definitely not joining if you already want kyc. I do not accept gas charges for airdrop. some bounty's doing the same thing. so if you have something to lose you com you can win in such a cheap situation. now the airdrop does not exceed 3 5 dollars.
Ive seen those situations too which you would need up to send some fees or amounts for them to able to push transactions on sending out tokens but i do see really a dumb thing to do. Airdrop would always been free and this is one of the ways on how to market their tokens.Theres no point on asking out fees because this would really be their obligation and they should have the fund for them to make use of it.
Whatever it is if the airdrop/marketing team of that token requires of any amount to be sent, it's your own will to follow.But I'll never send any amount if they ask, I'm not a die hard fan of airdrop.
That's how they are making with these ICOs by collecting funds not only to their investors but to die hard airdrop people.

If you aked when participating in the airdrop, bounty campaign or ICO project, about your personal data or payment details, then this is definitely a scam...
Yes brother you are right what you mentioned at your post about the scam airdrop that points all is right because that will be happening now days so we have select good airdrop otherwise our time and some of the amount will be no use.
If you stay long enough here in this forum you should notice that airdrops doesn't require us to pay for something because it is totally free and all you have to do is to put your bitcointalk account name and your ether address, and viola. You will get a bunch of either shitcoins or some worthy for short duration coins.
But as of todays airdrops they requires too much information for a single airdrop and it's kind of pain in the ass to write everything but you won't still get enough of it because it was all just a scam coins.

I'm worried when the rewards table is not updated for several weeks, and the admin is not responding to telegrams either. I had several such situations and both of these projects did not pay me tokens.
Doesn't necessarily mean that the airdrops were fake (though it's not excluded). They just might be under-staffed and they just can't handle the load. Wouldn't be the first one, it happened to me, too. Besides, it sometimes takes a lot of time before the distribution. I got one today that I entered in Q1.

very different there can be explanations for such situations. It happens that there is no information update for half a year, but as a result of distribution the token is successful.

in my opinion bounties are harder than airdrop but definitely safe ... crypto world coz its not regulated is full of scams which is getting worse by day
It is not surprising to see frauds and scam in cryptocurrency, people think it's an easy money and they easily be persuaded with ROI projects right now are claiming. I hope there's more platform like menlo.one that can counter this problem right now.
Ideally people just see that this project can give this much returns or see some promotion and believe it. Unless you do not do research and get more knowledge about the project or ICO just do not invest on basis of other. As everybody has their own opinion.
I joined in so many airdrops, and never get paid 😂
Once i get paid, the tokens value is just rubbish....
So, from that moment on, i'm focused to join in social media campaign and signature campaign for junior member, it's a lot to do, but more promising than airdrops

now, with a large likelihood scam projects require you to fill only the Google form. The more conditions in bounty participation, the greater the likelihood that the project will be adequate
When I do Airdrop project, in my opinion, I notice that there are many scam project, for example:
1. 50% project about ETH platform is scam or trash due to the fee of creation (it's too cheap).
2. Some airdrops require us to charge fee GAS before they pay airdrop coin. We should care with it.
3. Some airdrops send us an email to KYC and follow us to a fake side.

Definitely we need to be AlwAys alert about the emergence of scam in crypto.... It is very hard to earn here and with just a blink of an eye we get be a victims of it.... Yes sometimes airdrops is just a scam.... And also even a bounty project are accused sometimes to be like it.... Maybe before we joined we must research a lot.... It is hard to work now so we better watch our moves here before we regret....
airdrop is much in use for scam and phishing. usually if the email that is used for airdrop in the show on the sphreadsheet becomes the target of the scammer.
if airdrop requires KYC then need to be careful and study the airdrop, because KYC that we input is our original data.

A lot of emails are being sent to me about the KYC in airdrops and its a total shit, be careful on clicking links. Not just in airdrops but in everything here in cryptoworld, bounty can also be a scam so take time to read about the ICO, ask for some details and ask for your friends to help you know if the project is a scam or not.
Don't send your private details to some random people on the internet, they can use your id for doing something bad such a creating exchange account and pass the KYC procedure and then sell those accounts to another people, we all know that demand of this thing is very high. This is the trick that scammers are doing creating a fake airdrop and collecting people's details. I'm advising to not upload your ID even especially in participating in airdrop it's so dangerous. It is not surprising to see frauds and scam in cryptocurrency, people think it's an easy money and they easily be persuaded with ROI projects right now are claiming. I hope there's more platform like menlo.one that can counter this problem right now.
Agreed. In my experience most of the airdrops promising unreasonably high rewards are fakes or scam attempts. There are exceptions, of course, but those are extremely rare. But on the other hand - if you find a solid project with a good bounty program you can earn a nice sum of tokens.

Increasingly more and more of ICO projects are popping up, this could happen because the community more sifting through investing in the form cryptocurrency, it used by people who are not responsible for making the project a scam to take advantage

A lot of "airdrops" made on typeform these days, most of them scams, asking to "confirm ETH address" and redirecting to fake MEW sites. It really is insanely important to pay attention to URLs and to NEVER give away private keys.
I decided to go through with a fake "KYC" once - made a brand new ETH address and completed the "verification" by submitting private key. Never heard from them again.
If you ever decide to go for a selfdrop/raindrop ("send X ETH to Y address and receive Z tokens" type of airdrops) always (and I mean ALWAYS!) check the receiver's address on Etherscan. It's easy to find out if the address actually holds the tokens they promise or it's just someone's way of collecting free ETH from naive airdrop hunters.

Are you serious, regarding these points as these are the steps which are followed by nearly all the projects and if you talk about KYC then it is personal choice to fill such projects or not. You cannot declare any project scam in the early stages you need to wait for some time until they start working, scam is when team stop to work and does not care about its investors then you may consider it as scam.
Thank for your idea. But I think KYC is for investing ICO, not for airdrop campaign.

there are many scams in the market.liars will try everything to defraud our money.we must always be vigilant.
Yes you correctly have made that have focused attention on this topic.Indeed a lot of scams under the guise of airdrop collect information about You.That's why I don't participate in all airdrop.If the company is good and it conducts transparent airdrop, then you can easily participate.
If you kmow airdrop attemp so high scam and why there re many people still join in that bad attemp airdrop project? I think we should stay away from this kind of airdrop. Avoid get scam by not joining the airdrop is the best step we must do.
While this is very much a new project, there is nature's bounty and there is also an Airdrop. Most of the Airdrop is a scam with some specific reason. I personally have stopped from Airdrop since there is a lot of information that scam and phishing
There are so many airdrops also ask participants to give MEW privatekey. LOL. I think it's the worst way to scam ever 
).
But we won't know what will happen in the future, maybe scammer will be able to find out new way to scam cryptocurrency and money from investors and traders and bounty or airdrop hunters

Scam is the biggest problem for the crypt. I think that until we find a way to deal with the scam, the crypt will not be able to win the confidence of most people ..
Nowadays, scams use airdrops to generate buzz about their fake project aka to lure victims into believing its real ( a crypto con job). It looks innocent enough and some fools actually believe them. Only way to know for sure is if they have public identities.
3. Some airdrops send us an email to KYC and follow us to a fake side.
They are only collecting information from their airdroppers and everyone should be warned and aware about that.Don't be also get fooled if they are asking airdroppers to pay or send a little amount of ETH direct to their address, it's a scam. Airdrops should be free and without payment.
Also don't give them your private keys if they ask to.
Yes, you'r right. In airdrop, we must say NO with fee, private key
I don't know much about that thing so do everything with care and diligence.
Owing to the decentralized nature of cryptocurrency it is prone to scams. This affects investors, bounty hunters and managers alike.
Always research before joining a bounty, airdrop or ICO.
Read through the safety precautions already stated on this thread and others.
And if you have been a victim, learn from your mistakes.

Yes I always look at it and prove it is a scam ico project. before joining the ico project the first thing i did was look at the rating of the project and the team that handled the development of the project.
thanks for the info may be useful for me who is still a beginner in this forum. yes i often see dengn ico Airdrop which should send eth to their ico and we get reward. but. we buy the coin at an expensive price so coin it out in the market turns out the price is not to our liking. it happens often and I often see. I hope be careful if you want to buy it.
Thank you for your sharing 
Not all ICOs are a scam. We have to be careful when joining the ICO, because there are actually some scammers. but you can invest in ico's that can already show a working product, that's right way .
today I have more perspective projects than fraudsters. I do not even know what's worse this or that case. it happens that you work for a few months, but in the end you get candy wrappers, not valuable tokens. Not all ICOs are a scam. We have to be careful when joining the ICO, because there are actually some scammers. but you can invest in ico's that can already show a working product, that's right way .

If my experience sees a scam ico project or fails to see the total bonus purchase during ico sales and the absence of sales progress bars listed on the ico website. If airdrop has to provide identity data I think it's just a waste of time to participate.

Ill say it would be more on 95% of them are complete trash where coins used up erc20 token platform. We have seen they are flooding the entire market using up the same which same as you said creating a coin is too simple.Quote
2. Some airdrops require us to charge fee GAS before they pay airdrop coin. We should care with it.
Only dumb persons would send ETH to those scammers pretending that they need gas to send up those tokens. When we do talk airdrops then its completely free and anything that do charge is complete scams.Quote

This is totally valid. There are so many scam projects that their percentage is increasing day by day. Scam projects have made the choice very difficult for people and people end up showing no interest in any bounty project at the end. Other than the signs you mentioned, the major 2 signs the project is fake is that 1st they don't have an official website and 2nd the team of the project was involved in scams earlier.
quite right, now there is a lot of deception, because the projects do not pass any verification .. I think this problem will be solved in the future and the investments will be safe but less profitable

i've applied for around 300 airdops and received coins or tokens in about 100.... after everything, i profited maybe .05 ETH.. waste of time overall.

I do not use airdrops for earnings, I think that they have lost their relevance due to the large number of scammers. But even if the project is a real, very great chance that you will not be paid your tokens without any reason.
I participated already in 50 projects and 7 of them turned out to be a hoax ... the development team simply ceases to communicate ...
The information is really useful! It is especially dangerous when such a project requires to pass the KYC system! You risk to provide your data to scammers!
Nice pieces of info. To be fooled from sweet advertisements from the projects team. They might be catchy and interesting but there something behind it. Another one that indicates the that project is an obvious scam is they ask for private key. Everyone must be aware of that. Hopefully no one click on the bait. Thanks for the info, helpful for newbies.

Yeah I honestly agree to you a lots of airdrop that emerged now which is scam.... We must be aware of it.... Before its to late.... Everyone should be always updated here especially for us a begginer .... Proper making a decision is best.... Trust you instinct if you feel what your doing is right then stop it....

the same experience, if you are required to pay the GAS fee to get rewards, you should not do it, I have experienced and have not been paid yet.
A bad thing about bounties is that there are many scams around. The team behind them might just be in for the money. A way of identifying the scams is if you take a look at the team of the project. If it is a scam, you probably won't find much information about the founders.
In airdrop project, we rarely find out about the founders. But to invest for long time, we should make clearly this issue. Good idea. Thankyou so much.
Some airdrops just collect information about you. When you enter your wallet they look at your balance and if you have a lot of money in your wallet they can try any way you steal them. You have to be careful not to keep all the money in one wallet.
Thank for sharing, I will be careful in spam email. Most of them are scam.

Thank you for this information mate. I myself have been frustrated lately in the airdrop campaigns because most of the them are scams and not would be able to pay me at all on my finished tasks. That is why I spare my time now mostly in bounty campaigns which are signature and social media campaigns wherein they pay most of the time is on time and good.
Thank for your sharing. Bounty require more hard work than airdrop, some of them is really hard for newbie. But it's a good option.
