Airdrops these days are too different from the airdrops that we had a few years ago. We have earned good rewards through airdrops before by just doing simple tasks and we're not asked to provide most of our personal details. It's risky to join airdrops nowadays because they're requiring us to provide our personal details including our social media accounts. They're asking us to do lots of tasks but still ending up being unpaid.
If you're just a newbie, you better not fall for this kind of trap and try to look for better ways to earn in the Crypto world. Airdrops now are ways of scammers to deceive and fool beginners.

Sometimes, they are out to get your personal information like email address, etc and sell it out for money.
This is true, and this one is really alarming for everyone. That is why newbies and anyone who continuously participating in airdrops should avoid those airdrops that require everyone to submit KYC verification to avoid their personal information to be stolen.

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.

We can reduced the risk when we participate in airdrops. The most important thing for participating airdrop is don't give them money from your pocket, whatever it say as fee or anything else. For airdrop that require KYC for participate, look carefully about their team, project, etc. Don't submit KYC if they just give you little money.

Airdropd were really profitable till late 2017.
The main purpose from conducting airdrop was to raise awareness about new projects and attract investors.

I just dont get if you give something for free, then you either have a lot of it and you dont really need it, or what you give have low value - how can that attract investors? Its either useless or valueless

There is no social network platform where scammer/spammer not try to their shit job. Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Telegram (haven of spammer ), reddit even everywhere scammers try to cheat people specially who are new in crypto land.
Many newbies fall into their traps because of some worthless token. I do not participant in airdrop cause most of them are scam or valueless. I agree that we are still see some good projects bring good quality airdrop which is worthy but those amount of projects are very low and newbies are never find out legit airdrop between thousands of scam airdrop project.
So it's better stay away from it and do not join those airdrop which prefer to send money or sensitive document.

Yes, I agree that we must be careful of airdrop because not all airdrop can give us money by participating with the programs. Many of them are end of scamming people and run away with the document of the participants because many projects need the participants to send their primary documents to them. We need to protect our document and not to give to any project that we don't know because that document contains our real identity.

I've never joined any airdrops asking me for money unless Minereum which is a Ponzi scheme anyway, the 32000 Minereum tokens I received worth 3500$ now, it's just a luring trap to make you upgrade your eth address to Lv3 on the website for some ETH, very dubious I can see, we can easily ignore scam airdrops if we aren't greedy

You have said the word as it is, there are so many misleading airdrops in the crypto currency space today, and most are even fraud.
Some people run airdrops just to get followers on twitter, some run airdrops to collect peoples private keys, some infiltrate other peoples phone that way too
Be safe and careful.
indeed some airdrops are genuine but some are fake sometimes they ask the airdrop participants to do KYC by using show the real identity held by the participants, from there all data provided can be used for crime without anyone knowing it, it will make your privacy known to many people.Some people run airdrops just to get followers on twitter, some run airdrops to collect peoples private keys, some infiltrate other peoples phone that way too

Lots of people already warned others about those airdrops. Even if they are not scam, its not worth the time you would be spending to claim and them and managing them. The value of those coins are really low, after all they are "free coins" that gets distributed on large scale.
Yeah, like you said, other airdrops that collects your information are likely to sell those to other people. So, if you value your privacy and would like to be safe from identity theft, do avoid those Airdrops.

Airdrop is hardly a way of earning passive income, from what I understand about airdrop most of the token airdrop are not even traded yet so not possible to see it as a passive income, although sometimes you can be lucky with some airdrop, immediately they are listed in exchange they have good price and you can earn good money, but nowadays airdrop are mostly worthless, just like a waste of time.
If getting lucky that might happen to you but most of the time those airdrops are worthless, just a waste of time and space inside your wallet. Those who gets lucky are able to trade the tokens that they've got from participating. Luck pays a big role from this kind of situation, if you don't get the right project then move on and forget about it. May 06, 2020, 09:19:48 AM

Some Airdrops are spam, after getting your email details you will keep getting different types of mails, more like an offer or attractive offers, others are just finding airdrop hunters to promote their garbage so that it can create awareness for investors, my advice is use separate email for airdrops and bounties
May 06, 2020, 08:36:49 AM
I can't see how Airdrops are dangerous unless you join airdrops from twitter or facebook which are mostly fakes or scam, find real airdrop source and you won't encounter any problem, airdropalert and airdropbob are the best to me, they only introduce well screened projects to airdrop hunters with ratings, I choose the highest rated airdrops
Lets just say there are legit and will give you airdrop tokens. However, the tokens you have gained is it valuable? Or can you at least buy 1 cup of coffee on starbucks with that? Or even the cheapest sachet coffee powder cant be bought. The point is, most airdrop doesnt have much higher value and making them not worthy to join. For me, airdrop is a marketing token and we should have some money out of it from a very small task that we have done like share something on Twitter. Even its just a very light task, it can help them reach appropriate people who would be interested on their project. But it seems airdrop now are reall dissapointing so better avoid it and just join a bounty campaign handled by reputable manager. May 06, 2020, 08:29:24 AM

Can you please name any of the airdrop campaign you have participated in recent time and paid you and can you mentioned anyone on going that you think is legitimate.
