Even waste of your time is scam, besides some airdrop are worthless and the people in charge might be needing some certain amount of people for a group or something, which you have already joined because of the airdrop, and they airdrop you the worthless coin while they have gained from the group which you joined.... That is scam alone
Many free things can be a scam if you are promised to do something and it laters fetch you no reward. For the fact that you wasted your time, data, energy in doing the free stuff and no rewards come after, then you should know that it's nothing but a scam. They might have used you to achieve their purpose which is joining their Telegram. They needed people to join their Telegram group which they might want to use for another purpose, the only way they can get it is to announce a fake airdrop, then you start joining and when it reaches the number they need they tell you the form is closed and few months later they divert the group to another thing. Tell me how that is not a scam.
There were a number of fake airdrops, which were collecting the user-information such as the ETH wallet address and the linked Bitcointalk account, for dubious purposes. So there can be risks associated with things which are free.
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,

@op, many free things can be a scam. As the saying goes from where I come from, Nigeria, "a person that looks for awoof (free things) looks for nothing". Considering the time you spent doing the free things that would later yield no result, that could also be a scam if you know much about time management.
Of course it is a scam if they promised reward when you do something they want but never delivers. 
Maybe you will not imagine happening to you. But I think out there, there are people who send the only private key he has to store his portfolio, as requested by someone when following Airdrop. This is crypto, everyone is trying to make a profit, even in the wrong way.
yes, we just follow what will be asked by the rules that include the eth addres we have, but don't think whether there is any bad after following it and surely always believe it because it was asked to send tokens if ICO is done. but if the project is a scam then you don't get anything and also can't do anything then everyone does benefit in many ways it is commonplace. 
This will depend on the situation if they say its a free airdrop
then you signup alrady submitted the forms, and yea you did
everything posting retweet, like , share, you are waiting for the airdrop for days
then suddenly the admin announce a very important thing saying
they want you to verify if you really are the person owns the address
and want you to login in the link with your private key, then this is a sure scam and
very dangerous be very careful there a lots of airdrop asking for this info
don't fall for this one i hope that i help you take care guys

I do not consider this a scam, but among Airdrop there are a lot of fraudulent projects, and from this one can not escape anywhere.

Ofcourse it is still a scam. Yes it doesn’t cost you a penny but you are working for it, you spent time working by adverstising the projects when it comes to signature campaign for a reward in return. You give your information like your account information and your wallet address. There are still amount involve in the situation, so you can still call it a scam.

There were a lot of very beautiful airdrops in the past. Airdrop in itself is not a scam but don't forget to keep safe your data, password, mail, private key etc. Actually I don't see any serious airdrop around here.
Most of "free" coins airdrops and etc... are scam, be careful and use new eth adresses when you participate on bounties or airdrops, and collect your tokens in cold wallet (outside pc/book)

Let me tell you about the golden rule of economics. "There is no such thing as free lunch." Nothing is totally free. When it comes to airdrops, majority are scams but there's still 5% that is legitimate and are doing it for marketing purposes. But always remember that something isn't really given way free. There's always a hidden motive.

Of course it can be. Scam is a fraudulent act. If people were going to take your means with fraud, but they did not succeed, it does not remove any charges from them. In addition, in forms of airdrops very often asked to specify a private key from the wallet or go to the fishing link ..
Any rewards committed which was did not turn into reality is still a scam. We don’t need to make an investment to consider it as a scam. And this scenario is very rampant these days. I think there are things to be done to minimize this. Because this might pull down the credibility of the crypto world.
Pretty much tho, mostly something free could be on scam, well I'm not saying that all the give away or all kinda stuff are scam. But anyway the scam doesn't take your coins out, so you just might to be careful.
yes of course it could happen, in cryptocurrency all possibilities can happen, all of them can do a scam if they want it, and lots of airdrop that scam because it could be ico they offer fail and do not have many buyer so create product fail, many like that, you better be careful when participating in ico or airdrop.
Yes, something free can be considered as a scam. By definition, scam is referred to as a dishonest scheme, therefore, if a project claims something and did not happen, (e.g. giving free airdrop coins which is equivalent to a specified amount and ends up not real) is considered a scam because of its dishonest claims. Not because you did not give or lose any money doesn't mean it is not a scam, you lose more than what you think in case of flling up personal information/details.
Many of the airdrops are not airdrops, they ask for email and sometimes even for KYC information and thus they can be a scam indeed and the data may end up in the darkweb.
Just becarefull when joining airdrop from uknown project and dont have any good reputation because just by only by filled the form possible they can harm your device and steal your private key. To be more safe just joined airdrop from legit company and also they run ICO.
Fraud can be any project. Even that has passed all the tests. What prevents great team to simply collect all the money and running. So there is need to know the history of the team and the predisposition to such methods.
