No, there are so many fake and shady airdrops, so you have to be very careful before participating in any airdrop nowadays. There are many hackers and stealers trying to steal cryptocurrencies by spreading the word about their scammy airdrops. Especially don't make any KYC or give your private keys to any airdrop.
Even a long running airdrop website will never know if the airdrop is legit or might be scam a
Airdrop is safe as long they will never ask your private key.
I seen many fake airdrops sometimes they send it to me by an email and sometimes you can see it in social media and they are asking for privatekey.
I often get emails that contain they will give you several tokens by following a number of methods but in my opinion it's just a fraud if you receive emails like that immediately delete them because it's a waste of your time, and if there is an airdrop that asks for your data and even then it should be avoided because not all airdrops pay Airdrop is safe as long they will never ask your private key.

The only airdrop that are safe nowadays are trading altcoins, they always have 100% rating on airdrop websites and they have never failed me, get used to airdropbob.com they offer trusty airdrops
There are some airdrops are worth-it and have value and some developers are very generous before but as of today no only few i know has a good project that's still doing an airdrop for free and without any exchange and just need to do the task.
And this airdrop has its value not like the others that you need to have a KYC first before getting their token since they are required to do itin their country where its registered. But, i don't recommend this because it is like giving out your personal information for just only below $1.

i think the kickex airdrop from kickico is good. it's already over 600k dollars rewards.
can you share the link for the airdrop? so everyone here can join it
since it's my first time heard that kickico made an airdrop
Airdrops are safe to join and also its free to join, the problem is how long it will takes to run and how long it will be run, because many of airdrops users are useless and almost scam for promoting their business.

The way they usually work is they give you some string and you sign it to prove you own the address.
Could a malicious air drop make a transaction sending all your BTC to them, and then you sign it, and then they broadcast it to the network?
Or is signing a message different than signing a transaction?
They not get your fund as long you not go to their link which its phishing site so always be careful when we participate to airdrop check the site first before fill up anything and if you feel that there a suspicious in that airdrop better to avoid it. There's a lot of airdrop that legit and don't focus to airdrop there's a lot of ways to earn in crypto like bounty, social media campaigns and trading.

since i know airdrop until now i still find some airdrops that can give coins / tokens for free without having to sign any message .. we only do some conditions like share/like or subscribe via social media .. after that we are waiting for distribution ... but if anyone asks something from us in any form then you should leave the airdrop because it could endanger yourself
whatever the form is either Airdrop or bounty, if they ask for something in order to receive their Token, immediately avoid it and never follow what they say, because they certainly have a bad intention to deceive you.
don't let them develop.

Yes, we should be very careful with the Airdrops, sometimes the companies are asking for private keys and also a little investment to receive the tokens. In some cases, I have given access to MEW wallet, later I have lost all my coins which I am holding them in my MEW wallet.
Some airdrops are profitable but it will depends if they will provide an update on their project also on how they communicate with their members and before joining an airdrop you need to know on how much they will be distributing their token/coins and depending in the value once it listed on market.
And you are only targetting their token/coins or what you call "free money". And if they are promoting a bonus round for their members then don't buy it because it will be your loss and you are spending your money not getting it free.

We should be careful and thorough in filling out the registration form of an airdrop, avoiding the airdrop project asking for ether / btc, requesting a private key and ordering clicking on a link included in the form.

Not necessarily IMO. If they are asking for something to download or provide them your private key or sign up using it then definitely they are trying to pull out a scam. However there are many who just ask for simple tasks like promotion or give them like on certain platform and they most likely pay also as well.
Airdrop or bounty hunters should know what they should provide them and what not.
Airdrops are safe as long they would not ask for your private details n order to get your airdrop tokens. Most of airdrops these days you will provide kyc which is not good for every participants.
Most of the airdrops are safe, People become prey when they have lack of information. All you need is to do some research work to avoid scams. It will be good to visit trusted sites to check which airdrop campaigns are legit and which is not.
Even a long running airdrop website will never know if the airdrop is legit or might be scam aAirdrop is safe as long they will never ask your private key.
I seen many fake airdrops sometimes they send it to me by an email and sometimes you can see it in social media and they are asking for privatekey.
And other make thier own website samething asking for deposit before you can claim your airdop. You can not be fool with that if you are aware but not for newbie in crypto.
That's why we should always be very careful with the Airdrops because most of them are a scam which we don't see any value to the coin and simply asking for KYC. Some companies will ask for Private key which I don't know and this makes me most of the Airdrops are scam without any value to the coin.
I hope most of the Airdrops are completely scam which they are asking for the KYC procedure which we don't know what they will do with our information. At least they might pay very low value to us which we cannot able to transfer the coin to the exchanges. So we should be very careful with the Airdrops we are joining.
I assume all of them is scam if they do that since I don't really see the point on why they ask a KYC to the participant since at the first place they are the one who offers that and it's so shady for airdrop owner to there participants. And also I think I read some informations that they will sell all the identities on the darkweb since if the case then we will be in big trouble if our identity will be use on illegal things online.

Not all of the airdrops are safe, you have to make your research about the project before participating in any airdrop. Many fake airdrops are selling the data of their participants to third parties, and there are also some airdrops even asking for the private keys to access your wallet and steal your funds. So be careful before participating in any airdrop.
