In my experience, when something says it's free without you having to put anything in it, like money or effort or some kind, then it really is a scam. Be careful with the kind of project that you end up working with, there is no such thing as a free thing in this market, you are always paying for it in some way. Most of the airdrops now are scams and they find ways to get into the wallets of participants and steal their coins.

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,

Before, most airdrops are trusted but now there are so many scams. Note there are just many so not all of them are scam. We got scammed because we get nothing from them or they did not pay us but they got our information that they can be use in something fishy without knowing. They are just using us.

First of all, you are a real user in the field of cryptocurrency. They can get your personal information for sale, instead of defrauding your funds. Although it seems that you have not lost anything, this behavior is shameful, and now there is no A good management model, looking forward to improvement

A fraudulent or deceptive act or operation.
If the above can be said to be the definition of a scam, it means that failed airdrop is qualified to be called a scam because their is deception and their is fraud and those involved should be treated as criminals and fraudsters.

Whenever a scam can happen. Not only because it is free, but only those who pay can be a scam. For that we must be careful in choosing ICO project. Moreover bounty, lest we just work voluntarily and then not get paid. Some failed projects can be a scam because their target is not achieved.

they want lots of followers and they can ask you to register on the website or follow them on Facebook, etc. They want you to help them to attract investors Of course it can be a fraud as long as they do not pay what we do

Mostly free airdrop tokens is scam, they have one idea collect information about crypto interest peoples for spamming in the future
Thats right. but I think not most. but pretty much ico project is becoming a scam. they just use you with their bounty for their project to be know by many people and many of them buy their tokens and then become a scam. but not all ico like that. then you should be more observant in choosing

Something arent free can be a trick still, extraordinarily airdrops that is the reason individuals saying that airdrops is only an exercise in futility since you have to fill some frame and at last the coin you get has no value,it is free. There are likewise things that arent free however at last it is trick.

Skam is not so difficult to determine, but most likely it will disappear with time because crypto-currencies and ICO will begin to be better regulated. It is worth thinking about it

There is no free lunch in the world.
If you want to get a bounty or airdrop for free, then you have to pay time, and you have an understanding of encryption. If you don't know anything about it, I think the possibility of being cheated is 100%.

How can you say that the possibility is 100%? That would mean that all of the ICOs are scams.

there are some ico or bounty that trick I figure they would prefer truly not to work together in light of the fact that by issuing ico or abundance trick their business will end since it won't be confided in again by others, I trust we are as yet protected if the asked for is the address of eth or email address

If Your invested time in fulfilling  some social media tasks is free than it  cannot be a scam, but if You consider Your time as money than it can be a scam.
We were told also at the beginning that Facebook is free for use.It ended up that nothing is for  free and WE are the product. ( the users ).

if I think the term scam means dishonesty or fraud, but that's why people call a few drops of air as a scam, because they do not reward as promised though free, but they are also a way for project owners to get a lot of people who are interested with their coins because if we hold some of their tokens then we will automatically be more interested.

Not really. I have had some good airdrop campaigns. Although it is not great. But if Airdrop validates KYC in a variety of ways, be cautious. The best thing is to be alert to all components and objects in the crypto market. Include campaigns. should not be sloppy.

Scammers don't look anything in this case, they just want to get their own profit and of course money. how can something that does not cost you a penny be a scam? Because they need support from a lot of people to promote their projects and get other people tempted invest on these scammers.

Well Airdrops are really meant for free.
but its quite small compared to actually buying the token or on bounty programs.
and yes, the fact that some airdrops are meant for scamming or phishing.
free airdrops still are free, and the actual airdrop.
just be careful and be vigilant
