Good you brought it here for the consumption of everyone and especially newbies who really don't know what is obtainable and the tricks use in scamming people, before you do any airdrop,make sure to do your research and never send any Eth to claim a coin,I think that is the general trend now,and so much fake airdrops.

I think no one will send money to get back the worthless tokens. And everyone knows that airdrop is free, if it takes money to participate in airdrop then I believe people will quickly give up it
Well, it is true but there are still some participants who join airdrops who don't know about this especially those newbies who recently join airdrops. Those are the people who will fall to this kind of trick even if we know that airdrop should be free.

Campaign Management?"Hhampuz" is the Man
If you are newbie and you are looking for ways of making some  Bitcoin and other altcoin, be very CAREFUL with AIRDROP campaign as many of them out there are out to scam/milk you with the little ones at your disposal.
This seems to be a topic for any time now because the Scammers are here for years now,airdrop is what they mostly milk in when mostly the victims are those who are giving their personal details to be part but in the end those shit scammers will only use the details to sell in 3rd party's.
Sometimes, they are out to get your personal information like email address, etc and sell it out for money.
Some of them will tell you to send some amount of BTC or ethereum to their address as fee for you to get the aclaimed airdrop reward of which they will later run away and mute their telegram channel.

Be warn is to be armed.

what we need to do?never Join any of them ok?thats the way we will be safer from scammers.

If those who are participating in airdrops whether newbies or high rank members of this forum, reads a lot of information about scam and airdrops they'll know that majority of airdrops are scam and they will know how they all works, if they ask you to send funds to unlock your token, then you know that this is a scam airdrop.

There are many looking for free token and many has been a victim of scam of AirDrop. Since I once a victim of scam I never join again even fill-up for the AirDrop. It is a must to verify first if it a legit and worthy of your time to join.
That mistake is a very valuable lesson. That makes you more concerned and serious about analyzing before deciding to join. Remember, don't just be profit-oriented. Scammers often use airdrop to get your identity by giving KYC conditions or stealing your funds by giving conditions to make a deposit to get a reward.
IMHO, only join airdrop from an exchange or a really promising project. Upbit often holds airdrops to celebrate the first listing of a coin or token, first come first serve, so we must always update the news.

no wonder, if most of the prize hunters still rely on this token or hunt for free tokens through the Airdrops campaign. today many airdrops have sprung up but I am personally not interested in that. it's important for anyone to be vigilant and never send et gas costs just to claim tokens from airdrops!

Not only problem in airdrop, to receive bounty rewards some projects is make conditions to send some Ethereum  which amount will be transaction cost. Some scammer are also here for to sell your KYC information. Newbie should active in this forum then you will know some legit airdrop or campaign

Actually airdrop is an effective alternative to get rewards for a newbie. As long as we know the risks and forbidden things we must do to avoid fraud. Some things you should consider when you want to join airdrop, IMHO:
- Make sure that airdrop news events are legit. Check the official account of the organizer, and ask the truth.
- Don't join airdrop which requires you to make a deposit first, it's a scam, as the OP explained above
- Do not be easily provoked with large rewards, usually, it's the maximum range if the highest price is reached, understand that
- Do not carelessly do KYC only for a few airdrops, your personal identity is very important

A few days ago I found a website that is quite trustworthy, although it is still in the development stage, the information is complete and good (does not include Reff like most similar sites), please try here https://dropsearn.com/events/active/

yep there are many scam airdrops nowadays, newbies should avoid airdrop it's a waste of time. They should better participate in bounties like social media campaign, it is just easy tasks.

Can we really say the bounties is some how free from scam? I don't think so because, there are so many investors and participants who do complain of been scammed bounty program that was advertised here in this forum. So I don't bounty campaign is completely free the said problem.
bounty campaigns and airdrops often occur scams but for beginners I think it doesn't matter because it can be used as an experience that can be saved so that they will know which projects are scam or not, at least participating in a number of bounty campaigns and airdrops can be a bit of aiding the economy when lucky.

I am not participating in any airdrop for a very long time because there is no point in collecting shit coins with no value and majority are made to collect your data and i have seen many bounties asking for your identify verification in the premise that it will be used to verify that you are not cheating them, pretty convincing stuff but i will pass all these bullshit.

Some of them will tell you to send some amount of BTC or ethereum to their address as fee for you to get the aclaimed airdrop reward of which they will later run away and mute their telegram channel.
If you understand that there is nothing free available you will not fall for scams, there are scammers preying everywhere for victims and if you have that idea on the back of your mind, you will not fall prey Smiley.

One of  my core words especially to a newbie is the need and importance of understanding the basics of crypto currency.
Before you even gather the idea of joining airdrops or bounties; you need to have an understanding (basics) of what you are getting into.

First learn how crypto currency works, private keys, blockchain wallets; how to stay safe, learn and understand the principles first before joining airdrops.
So that when you join airdrops, with the knowledge you have, you are able to identify true or fake ones.

Don't just rush into airdrops, always do your own research

things may have been different a couple of years ago like in 2013  but nowadays whenever someone is giving away something (seemingly) for free there is always a catch. usually they want something in return like what OP says (personal information) but also sometimes they are after the bitcoins you may already have. and to do that there is a lot of malware being spread as "wallets" of the said coin which the user has to download if they want to receive the "free" coins. and as they do their computer is infected and they lose their bitcoins.
The malware issue spread through supposed wallet download is the reason I do not like participating in any bounty that has such attached to part of the condition for hunters. And so far I have not have any issue with missing coin through hacks. I believe most hacks happen through this method.

Not only newbies there are still old members here who still goes for airdrops, and you can't blame them, some airdrops are profitable but that is out of 100 or more airdrops, but if they are compiling email for spamming, that will not do good as it will only end up on spam folders, and of course sending funds to get your airdrop is a big no no.
Newbies usually fall traps easily, so it is not a good idea to advise any form of an airdrop to the inexperienced users. The spam emails and useless tokens are the known part of the story, there are more on background of the process. New accounts open a different version of the same airdrops and ask the personal details which can be used for decrypting the identity or sensitive information. This information is useful for finding the passwords on the crypto exchanges.

Airdrops became popular around 2017 and during that time there were several very good airdrops that had decent reward, i have seen people making good bucks but after that the quality of airdrops has dropped mostly we get is useless tokens that do not have an exchange or value and even there are scams and phishing attempts too in the name of airdrops so personally i do not recommend them now.

This is exactly the business that they've seen by taking advantage the people who likes to join airdrops. They're sell it to marketing agencies and that's why if you have something in your email like an endorsement from an ICO without remembering you've signed up one. Then the past fill up application that you have filled with an airdrop or of the same already sold or sent it to a marketing agency so that you'll be one of their recipients.

Some of them will tell you to send some amount of BTC or ethereum to their address as fee for you to get the aclaimed airdrop reward of which they will later run away and mute their telegram channel.

You nailed it out and that's the truth, many airdrops today are not worth the attention let alone efforts given to them, because they are clearly out to scam unsuspecting people of their hard earned money. What surprises me is the fact that, a project carrying out an airdrop campaign will then ask the users to send ETH for transfer fee, to activate wallet and so on, funny enough some people will still send. So I just hope newbies will come across this post and be enlightened so that they won't continue falling for scams all in the name of airdrops. Another to watch out is those asking for private keys and so on.

actually the airdrop campaign can still be profitable, but our level of caution in participating must be more guarded. fraud can occur, beyond that airdrop campaigns that do not provide benefits will always be there and our ability will be widely used when looking for a profitable airdrop.
