Yes, most of the free token especially huge amount of free.It will turn into scam if the developer will abandoned the token .Some dev will take advantage they will sell the token when the price will up then dump the value .That is why the token will dump nobody will trade because of the bad doings of dev.I advise you to sell your free in the earliest time before the value will turn into bubble.
Its risky to give out your personal data, airdrops may seem harmless with nothing to loose but registering for any kind of airdrop without prior research is risky as you expose yourself to different forms of scams.
For example scam emails were sent out to some of beetoken's whitelisted members with a link to a fake cloned website.
Some people lousy their money so easily.
Research airdrops as you would ICOs before giving out your personal details.

Well yes it can be scam why? because you have to put an effort and time just neet their requirements in order to get something "free" or should i say payment and the owner doesn't pay you. So, in other terms you've wasted time and effort for the exchange of promise like free coins or goods if i were you should check it first before joining a free coins amd goods.
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,

For me it's still a scam because although you don't spend any money to get airdrop but you give them your personal information, email or other data. They already promised to give you some tokens but they don't send you anything so it's a scam as you already gave him some personal information. They can sell your email as well as others and sell it for crypto related ads. Lately I am reading a lot of posts asking: is this airdrop a scam? Is that free ICO a scam?

all can happen and it is the risk of cyberspace but if I may argue in my opinion there is no airdrop scam, the nature of the airdrop is free and may be full of quota given from the developer of the number of airdrop participants that should be studied and observed more depth how the security of workers when getting a project to avoid projects that will be a scam project, so keep up the good cooperation and high confidence when undergoing such work
Yeah sure, free coin is possibpe to scam.
You know, like Airdrop and Fauchet is all free.
And so many be scam.

not all airdrops are scam, but you will experience it many times if you join every airdrop that will be launch.
even if you dont give your money, or something valuable to the airdrop and they dont pay you, as long as you spend your time for it, it is also a scam.

Usually ICO definitely requires us to invest in the project. Surely we definitely spend some money and they get money from us all. It's a risk and no investment is not spending money. The more money we use the greater our chances of getting a big profit, but remember that the risks are also getting bigger. I am not interested in free airdrop, I better choose a project that can bring in a lot of money. For e-mail data I think that we can use other e-mail and I suggest never to use the main e-mail that is connected with various important account such as bank account and company where we work.

This is a valid philosophical question. I already had a similar discussion once, and in this case I think we can call it a scam on the basis of false representation.
So, a guy, foreigner, stops me at a parking lot and says he is a fashion designer coming from a nearby fair (there actually happened to be one). However, he had to talk a smaller car and meet with his boss while he was not able to take all the leftovers from the fair with him. Hence he decided to sell them if possible. Blah blah blah..... he offered me two nice shirts, a suit, a belt and two very fine jackets at a ridiculous price. I bought them.
Most of it I still wear these days although this happened around 5-6 years ago. However, it was not soon after that I found out those were actually copies made of materials not so resistant as the originals. I wasn't all that surprised, I still felt as a sucker, but I indeed wasn't surprised. He did tell me he was from Emporio Armani and gave me a (false) card. Hence - a scam, false representation, but a deal was still good
Some airdrops turned out to be a scam just to gather information and security details to unwary participants. Though most scams appears to be too good to be true offer not all transactions like that are scam. Always remember that most scam sites will be eager to get your personal details and will offer you huge rewards with almost no effort so be careful.

They can be scams but not all free things are scams, this is by far the best strategy used by scammers, as long as attention has been attracted in what they have to offer and the price is reasonable, the take off leaving the unfortunate buyers dry and with no proper sale point
I will reveal here some modus of scammers that using free airdrop method. First if all, the devs of a certain coin with free airdrops have all the supply of the tokens. Initially they will airdrop around 10% of it and hold the 90%. Most of free airdrop offers an ICO with very high bonus percentage but they will never sell more than 50% of the supply. So here how the scam work using free airdrop. First thing, since ERC20 are automatically listed on Decentralized Exchange like Etherdelta and IDEX, they will start to pump dump the coin using the coin they are holding and make a hype using the 10% token receive by airdrop hunter which the majority will be selling their token. This will attract attention of the whale traders since the trading history is very lively. Once many whales has involve and set big orders. The dev team will dump all their token and take away both the profit on selling their coin and the profit in token sale.

If it is free then you are already scammed!!!
There is nothing like free lunch box my dear friend, and this very statement I have gotten it from the forum itself when I was reading similar thread somewhere but that was very old one. So im pretty sure that there is nothing wrong in such project going scam becasue obviously they are distributing you the coin which is free and what do you think how they will pay you back when you will go and sell those free shits? Do you really think that they will pay it from their own pockets? I barely think so and mostly those project publish such announcement who are not having any advertising budget. Once their advertising is done with fee stuff then they will fly away. So stay away.

Of course it can! Nothing is free nowadays and I guess you've invested your time, at least.
And, as we all know, time is money!
Most ones are actually scam but they are not necessarily scam just they give free tokens, but if they give most of their tokens free by a airdrop, I doubt it.
Yes it can be scam because scam is not only because the process. Give free or not does not matter for being scam.
Like airdrop, many of them are not worth because they try to scam with the other way like getting private key or somwthing else. But i notice not all airdrop are scam.
In my opinion, Yes it can be. Scam it is not all about taking your money away. Some scams just use you, your time and effort. They offer you promises but in the end it won't happen. But don't worry you can identify if it is a scam by researching them, research their project, their anonymousity, their goals, research it if their goals are realistic or they're just using flowering words to maligned you, and if the token does not have a clear use case.All you need to do is don't trust quickly because it's free, trust them because it's legit.

I do not think all free are given for the reason of scamming. Sometimes free are given for motivation. Somewhat like a strategy to drive a person or worker to work harder. Some are given free or gifts as a reward of perseverance. Lately I am reading a lot of posts asking: is this airdrop a scam? Is that free ICO a scam?

Well, it depends what owners of ICO/COIN want, recently there were so many airdrop coins distributed freely and then owners dump them as soon as hit the exchange.
Airdrop can be considered a fraud if you are not paid a token, but for this you have passed the procedure kyc and sent them your data. Then in this case they will be able to use your data for their own purposes.
And if you just registered and sent the e-mail address, purse, your name, and you did not get tokens, or paid, but they are priceless, then it's not so scary.

To take part in the airdrop, you at least spend your time. If for the time you spent you do not get anything, I think it's a scam. There are a lot of such cases. Still there are scam based on greed - to get something you first have to buy something. Everything is obvious in this scheme. Lately I am reading a lot of posts asking: is this airdrop a scam?
