Hi everybody,
Lately I am reading a lot of posts asking: is this airdrop a scam? Is that free ICO a scam?
So I am wondering how can something that doesn't cost you a penny be a scam. Sure, they get your email adress and maybe a ETH Adress, but how can you really be scamed with only this informations? I am not talking about airdrops that require kyc registration, that for sure can be dangerous.
Cheers,

There are legit airdrops and ICO and there also fake ones.
You just have to take extra precautions and to think very carefully about what and where you plan on joining. Just think twice whenever a certain airdrops or even an ICO requiring personal and private information about you, its important that you shouldn't just provide it without giving it a second thought. Scams are everywhere. So, you should be extra careful and be wise enough to avoid one.

If it wasted your time by joining on their airdrop and did not get your token then it's still a scam. Be careful in sending your email address as they can use it to spam your account or hack it if you have link to exchanges.

Maybe most of the time, no one gives anyone something for free, they just give us free when we make them some requests, but the easier earning or making free coins, the more easily cheat.

Now the number of scammers has increased, so you need to be careful not to risk your time and personal data. We need to carefully select projects.

In fact, quite a few projects turn out to be scammers. Yes, they may not require money, but you have to spend time and other resources on them.

No. Because very much today exists in open source. Let every person think about this, because these technologies, which are developed in open access today, are the most popular.

It has a chances that it will end to scams, for how long you participate in bounties there are possibilities not to earned rewards in campaign , I think it depends on how you choose a good one in order to be more secured.

There are really a lot of scams in airdrops.You can certainly find normal,but the earnings from them are so small that I do not spend time on it.

It can be a scam because you invest your time and effort doing the tasks! For me, time is gold. I don't want to waste my time doing shits so choose a good project to participated in, search for their team, website, whitepaper etc. to avoid scam.

You can be scammed in different ways - online, by phone, by post or in person. Scammers try to get your personal details to get money from you or steal your details so they can pretend to be you. In case of free airdrops, be sensitive when joining and always check first its credentials.

When someone offers you something that is free with nothing to do, then most likely, you will get scammed. When we do bounty campaigns for ICO project, the token we get is not given for free because we work hard in it, we give our time, money for internet and electricity bills and effort to do what they require us to do, so it is not free, we earned it because we worked for it.

well, as a bounty hunter. i can say that "yes, it's was a scam" since nothing is free like as you said here. we bought the laptop, internet bill, electricity bill, etc. and the most important that efforts and time. so nothing is free.

Firstly, let me correct the notion that some ICOs are free. ICOs cannot be free, you definitely pay for it before you receive the token. While all airdrops are free and almost 80% of them are scam.

Scam is something that we can not avoid, because not all projects run smoothly, many projects are not achieved so it can be a scam project, selective and careful is the thing to do to avoid scam projects

In fact, most people are frustrated with airdrops because many people waste a lot of time to complete the airdrops, but they don't get any return!

I have said this time and again. that most things that comes free are scam that's why I don't waste my previous time, resources and energy on this scam airdrops labelled ' free '.
I would rather participate in bounty campaigns than airdrops.

there should be nothing for free, all costing you internet, energy, and time. in case of fraud you will not get anything until the end of the project. not just the meaning of airdrop but bounty now so much so always be careful and multiply the information you get and essentially nothing is free.

Being free from scam is not even just about participating in airdrops as you can end up participating in bounties as well and still end up doing bounty for a scam project. The only simple way is to be very wary of the projects you are representing during bounties, by doing a proper research before joining which I believe so many bounty dudes do not make attempt to do, resulting to them wasting their precious time.

It is true, we must be more careful. whatever we do, we must continue to strive to provide the best. And we should always be careful. Preferably, do not be too happy with something that used to be free. because its free this is worth a watch.

Well, I think it is a scam due to your wasted effort. They have promised that they will reward you then fail to accomplished it then it could be a very known scam. Either its free or not in a since that they have stated to reward people but fail to then it could be a scam.
