The fraud of these projects is only that they are promised a high price for this token, but in the end it is useless. Yes, there are a lot of such projects now. Therefore, you must be very careful and careful when choosing ICO. Airdrops give a lot of different coins, but most of them are worthless.

It can be a scam. And one of the easiest ways to bribe you so that you can help them in the scams is airdrops. Many will issue free tokens during airdrops so that one can believe in them and even make others participate but in the end it equals to scam

If a project is free then there is no need for the project team to scam anybody. The worst case is that you will waste your data, energy and time. No money will be loss.

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,

yes you can get scammed by providing your personal data or the access to your email or wallets can get stolen, which will result in losing the other cryptocurrencies you're having.

Generally speaking, airdrops are not a hoax.
However, most of the tokens are cheap and have no value, so they are less likely to take part.

maybe in airdrops arent scam because they dont even have a capital,but in ico theres is..either in signature campaigns or other sort of campaigns were our time,effort is our capital,even that there's no penny involved still we have our capital,so it will be considered as scam..maybe you dont give a damn trying to join one,thats why its easy to you to tell that.

Well, why not? If you are asking about airdrops - there is a lot of scam. They can give you nothing. Airdrops almost always have an investors. So they can give you coins and than they scams.

There are a lot of scam ICO. Scam is something that you give such effort for one month or 60 days and you are waiting for the coins to be send to you soon. While waiting you found out that everything you've did was nothing. The ICO you participated for did not send your payment. They just grab your time and effort to scam others too.

Scammers have a lot of ways to lure your data or money. They conduct the usual processing of each investor by the type of pyramid, but people do not cease to believe until the last. Even when they realized that they were deceived, they say but they will return.
Exactly, a quick profit also is a form or scam. But in the case of free, not all free are scam.  That's why a traders or investors should know everything about crypto currency world.  Investing a big amount will usually have a big profit in return but make sure the project should be legit and have a strong foundation and background in the said project.

When you give your data freely to them may be anise that sells it to some people, and many people are willing to pay for personal data. they want to have lots of costumers and followers to show that they have a lot of fans. they want you to help them to attract investors.

It all depends on the angle you looking at it from and how you understand the whole project, something that is free for sure can be a scam. To scam doesn't only mean to take away your money as we all know if you premise a thing and you never do that also is scam when you say something to somebody and you action is different from what you said that also is a scam. So scamming comes in different ways.

In my opinion, airdrops and free things are mostly scams. The airdrops they give out is an incentive to attract investors to invest in their ICO's and moreso, very few airdrops are legitimate. Most of the airdrops are scams and not worth time wasted

Scammers are everywhere so you need to be careful of what you are doing and never ever share your wallet details while participating in campaigns or airdrops.But some project won't pay the bounty participants at the end so you need to be picky with your bounty selection to make worth your effort.

Most likely it is a scam. Airdrops that offers you free tokens result to a free support from a lot of people who believed that they will be given the promised coins by the team that lunch the airdrop. In the end, after the ICO is lunch, they will slowly disappear in the radar or they will make absurd excuses about the distribution. This is how you get scammed.

Something free like I always tell people is that Airdrop is not a scam, it is a free giveaway of coins, it may only have scam intension, but the airdrop is not scam.

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.

This is so true. Although we only got that token for free, we have the right to say the project is a scam or not.
Because it can make the crypto ecosystem damaged. Honestly, this thing sometimes makes me mad.

My answer is yes and no because you wont know if its a scam. You'll just gonna know it if you already did or got something that is free. But not all free are scams. For me the free things that you get is a blessing and a help from other or donations like that.
