All kinds of Bitcoin Giveaways are SCAMS
Definitely not all kinds. There are legit faucets giving away a hundred or so Satoshis. Do they count?
Incidentally, I've just received my FreeBitcoins.com stickers yesterday from BayAreaCoins. I haven't informed him yet. Shhh.
They're giving away some spare Sats until supply lasts. And it's definitely not a scam. I'm not connected to them, by the way.
Because people, frankly speaking, are huge opportunists.
And when I say that, I refer to both scammers and scammed.
Wow this was kind of an enlightenment to me. I kind of realized that the scammed was also at fault here, not just by falling into a stupid scam attempt by the other party, but by also trying to take advantage of the opportunity. I'm not saying that it's not right to take the chance when it's there, but really, it's like both sides are at fault here, first is that the scammer took the opportunity to rely on a big name to make money, and the other is that the scammed tried to take the opportunity to rely on that scam to get rich ( which obviously backfired ).And when I say that, I refer to both scammers and scammed.
As they say, it takes two to tango.
More often than not, behind every successful scam operation is an opportunistic or probably greedy individual. Right, I'm not referring to the culprit alone but also the victim. And I'm not even saying that victim is a completely ignorant person. It's just that sometimes a man will swerve from reason in order to get some free and easy money, grab some opportunity, test whether something is indeed real or not saying, "there's no harm in trying," and so on.
And by clicking, by filling up, by downloading, by sending a little amount, and so forth, the scam has already succeeded.
