Same here i dont easily download any files or wallets that they do require specially on airdrops.This is why i do pass on those kind of airdrops because it is actually a risky thing to do yet you wont know that some of them do have accompanied with malware or virus inside which would really compromise your important informations from your pc once you have already downloaded it.
Topic: All airdrops are ponzi schemes? (Read 1794 times)
I think just avoid the Airdrops those who want us to download the wallet because most of them are the scam. If they ask for MEW address then it is good to share because you won't find Virus in it. So be careful while dealing with these Airdrops.
It is really very necessary to be careful with just downloading anything most especially if it has to do with wallets.If it is not a web wallet or they aren't an ERC20 token making use of ethereum wallet like you said, then the best thing is just to stay away from it as plague even if they seem promising or legit cause it is a whole lot of risk to take as far as I am concerned.
I personally never participated in any airdrop as there are voices around that ALL airdrops are ponzi schemes!
Whats your thought about this "statement"?
Can some1 give deeper insight and background info about the airdrop principle and why some people telling its a ponzi scheme or MLM technique?
We (Licensium Team) where thinking months back on airdrop but decided to go the ico way!
Thx in advance!

no airdrops are not ponzi or sccams because they are actually giving out free tokens or coins but most of them are just shitcoin and shit token without any reasonable value on the markets yet airdrops are legit compared to ico's becauuse most ico these days are scam and would not pay you even if they promise. but overall you need to do some research first in order to save your self from falling in to wrong hands.

Well I would avoid installing wallets of nay kind (except the major ones) and if then only on VM with separate internet connection id you have the possibility.
Same here i dont easily download any files or wallets that they do require specially on airdrops.This is why i do pass on those kind of airdrops because it is actually a risky thing to do yet you wont know that some of them do have accompanied with malware or virus inside which would really compromise your important informations from your pc once you have already downloaded it.Virustotal I can also highly recommend!
I agree and I think that would need a own thread to give some advice about security!

I don't think all airdrops are ponzi schemes because my friend had join a airdrop and not got scheme,you can get free coin for free for joining airdrop ,maybe ICO are scheme but not all, thats why you need to choose wisely , so you don't regret it.
Yes they are ponzi schemes. They made token out of thin air and hope to find somebody that dumb enough to buy from the market. That's free money for them. Zero cost, full profit.
Most of these airdrops also collect e-mails and sell it to spam services. That's why you get millions of spam ICO mails every day.

Airdrop no relation with scam. In fact, airdrop means we accept. We don't invest anything in it, meaning absolutely no money we throw at them. Airdrop is an including marketing strategy for me.
Well there airdrop as instrument is no scam, I agree with you! ( That is what this thread learned me). The question is can it be abused for scam?
As long as your coins are on a wallet or address of yours and you don't invest additional money they can't scam you.
But if they ask you to install some wallet of theirs for staking or some other reasons you should be careful. This software could be the scam and infect you computer.
Thank you for the tip! Much appreciated!
This is what i was also thinking. Do antivirus detect such programs? I have a software downloaded lately for staking an airdrop coin. I run at first to receive the airdrop and then moved it in a Virtual Machine to lock access to my resources. I should've run it solely at virtual machine.
