Topic: Can something free be a scam? - page 20. (Read 4163 times)
Some airdrops require you to take a series of action or do some activities before you are eligible for the airdrop. After sacrificing few minutes of your time to do that you will be amazed that at the end of the day you won't get anything or the tokens received would be worthless. I think that is a scam.
Most of the time in my experience, when something is free and seems too good to be true then it usually is. Scams are created in such a way to make sure that the most gullible of people fall for them. So when you see something that looks too good to be true, then you should run away from it. There is no way to get rich quick in crypto
if you are speaking about airdrop, no it is not scam but shittycoin it can be, then in airdropthe scam i can see is when for airdrop you need to install some software wallet on your computer it can be scam
Yes. Taking some money is not the only way to be scammed. When you are signing to free airdrops or ICOs, you are giving your personal informations like your full name, eth address and other personal matters like your address etc. Some airdrops are profitable but some are scams.
it could be but not all that free is a scam, such as bounty or airdrop that we do. I always get out of my business and get paid from bounty or airdrop.
Yes, I see many people who follow the programs they don't get free coins and the program a scam like an airdrop. For I have long gone and lots happened scam and I don't get the coins. And there are many results of airdrop that has no value and does not enter the market of crypto.
They hawthorn each the adjected be a diddle, due to they dependable muddied the your dope, nevertheless close of the spell they disposition not concern whatever disc to you, at times even examine you to equip bound ETH as transfer fees
you can be scammed because your data are not safe if caught by a scammer airdrops and for example can be used for other purposes...

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,

This is not always a Scam. Many renowned and established projects sometimes conduct Airdrop to promote their cryptocurrency. So you need to understand each case.
but the project has potential to be a scam and I heard that some of ICO don't pay the participants for their job. I think on the internet, there will be one or two projects that can scam us and we don't know how to recognize the project. but if we can research the project and we know that the project is good enough, then we don't have to be a worry.

Well, imho, scam is not necessarily take away your money. If you give something (your time, your personal data, anything, your signature) because you are promised to be rewarded, but in the end the person/entity is breaking their promise, it might be called scam/fraud.
And BTW when you give your data freely they might sell it to some people, and many people willing to pay for personal data.
It is not necessarily but it will just go to that way. If you give anything to a person whom you trusted and turns everything into ruin, it might be called as a scam. It is just normal in cryptocurrency and we cannot avoid it. Fortunately, there are still genuine here and I advise to you that selecting of a scam project is free so do not go for it. And BTW when you give your data freely they might sell it to some people, and many people willing to pay for personal data.

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 ..
Maybe it can be said yes because something free it will not be the same as what we ourselves because getting something free is easy but with most of the free it sometimes there is a scam and Airdrops may not look like a scam because they only give away free coins if you get a free coin lest you give your e-mail address
not all free are scam but i will say 85% of them are scam they will just waste your time and take your information, someone have to study well before you jump into airdrop because those information they collected can be sell
Research first all the information. Check if they were listed and thier roadmaps. Read all there purpose and their aim projecr. No ones got to be scam if you know how to explore things.

Something that is free tends to be a scam 90% of the time. But it doesn't hurt to get some free token. Who knows, it might be a legitimate one. As economic saying goes "there is no such thing as free lunch". This is especially true here in cryptocurrency market. if you want to gain something, you have to be prepare to lose as well.
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. Although they only collect email adress but they can sell it to third party and make spam and sent link phising to our email adress
Hi, sometimes to give you free tokens, they ask you to give token, so this is not free anymore, and this one could be scam
Yes it can be scam. When you register their airdrop and do their task then eventually the developer didn't pay you back for your completed task can be really a scam. Also some companies are willing to buy personal information and their is a chance that your information are on the black market.

What in this case do we mean by the definition of "fraud"? If you provide only your e-mail address and your purse address and do not perform the KYC procedure, then you are not taking any chances, are you? But in this case we need to worry for our money, not for our personal information. Lately I am reading a lot of posts asking: is this airdrop a scam? Is that free ICO a scam?
