Topic: Can something free be a scam? - page 27. (Read 4163 times)
something free be a scam, yes if they have there project to developed and they promise to give token until the project is finish they did not give any thing just they use the effort and time of a person to promote there company
Your time, your influence in ur daily life( including the media u share ) etc are all ur important resources. The resource does not only mean money but all things related to u( even ur reputation anyhow u are not famous ).
As people say "there is no such thing like free lunch" and at cryptoworld it works at 100% - mostly if you been given something for free, that mostly means that was made for advertisement or to hook you into the ICO
Scam is so common that in fact to find a good project unfortunately becomes almost impossible and very difficult
Well 95% of airdrops and bounty is a scam and it's a free way to get cryptocurrency. So yeah, most of free things are scam.
That's what these people love doing. They love to shame a company and name it a scam when they did not even put any effort. They share three links on twitter in a week and write a tweet or two and expect to make thousands of dollars out of it and if the coin doesn't appreciate then they start blaming the company and calling it a scam. They say their hard work is wasted. Where is the hard work in sharing few posts on twitter and then reporting their links? No offense intended but these people should calm down.
Even though they are free, Airdrops that do not deliver tokens should be considered scams. Being scams they are likely to sell whatever personal data they have, which is a violation of our rights.
When participating in Airdrops do the same checks you would do before investing in an ICO to avoid being scammed.

Not all of it are scams or frauds, but as what I have read from the threads on this forum, mostly they are scams. Not all of the free things are scams, but if it looks too good to be true, then maybe it is scam. For airdrops, which you basically wait for the tokens to be dropped in front of you, and at the same time a high paying one, then maybe it is a scam. But I am not saying that it is a scam, but check for the history of the manager. Is it someone you can trust? Because if it isn't, then definitely it will break their promise and might end up scamming you.
There are a lot of really fraudulent projects going on right now, but I don't think most of them.I believe that you just need to learn how to choose a good
the best way to away from this scam airdrops, ICO's or any project. do a profound research about the project you are to join in. and don't easily fall from what you see in the internet.
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
Not all projects fraud if that can be find indeed beneficial for any user which over time will bring you more money
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,
airdrop does not seem to be a scamLately I am reading a lot of posts asking: is this airdrop a scam? Is that free ICO a scam?

it all goes back to the developers how they determine it
it's just that it takes a long time if airdrop because it is offered at the beginning of the launch
which can be said scam you just do not spend any money and do not lose too if it is really a scam no problem of course
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.
They may not literally mean like scam wherein they get your money but since you are giving away your wallet address, there is a possibility they won’t give you the coin or that coin may not have any value omce you have them. Still considered as scam though.
Sure! Some days ago i read a story about one man who received a email with ethereum adress and private key. There are a lot of tokens on this wallet, so this man will transfer his 0,2 ether to this adress and lose his money, because all this tokens together with eth were transfered to another adress automatically. 
There are many scam ICOs and airdrops on the crypto market. So you should do a good research before you join the ICO.

Yes, an airdrop can be a scam and many have been in the past. The initial airdrop may be free but then if the team cons you into believing that the project will be developed and be a success and you end up buying up much more tokens, you have been scammed. Also, they can send you emails trying to scam you out of your holdings.
airdrop can be a scam like you said and we have see this many times before. but it's not all of airdrop is scam because I am sure that there are any good airdrop that will bring some profits to us. I see that many people can get their profits by joining many airdrops and I think they can try with many airdrops.
Most airdrops are spam. Good airdrops are an exception to the rules). Many try to cheat by asking your email address. Then they can use it to send spam or phishing. Others - want to know your secret key from MEV, hoping for inexperience or for beginners.
When I first got into cryptos I thought all airdrop were a scam. Now I know not all are, but there are many are. Look at each project with more than an ounce of skepticism.
