Topic: Can something free be a scam? - page 36. (Read 4139 times)
It is possible to find a free airdrop to be a scam. Imagine giving your details to a scammer that might later use it against you. I will give you instances. There was this person who is a fan to airdrop, because it is free and has never for once given his private key out to anyone and still got scammed by seeing his cvoins being transferred to another wallet. How can that happen? From experience, when you fill a scam form and you give out your email address. They may start spaming your mail by sending phishing sites to you, until you one day in the act of being curious, you click one of it and your details are revealed to them or your email get jacked and they have access to by our private info.
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,
Most of airdrops are unprofitable now: In most cases - airdrops is just a way to get e-mail base of potential crypto investors. Lately I am reading a lot of posts asking: is this airdrop a scam? Is that free ICO a scam?

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.
Lol waste of time is a scam too, waste of space is a scam too lol
just make sure its a good project and do your research. it literally takes 5 mins of your busy crypto life
They may still be a scam, because they just cheated the your information, but most of the time they will not issue any tokens to you, sometimes even ask you to provide certain ETH as transfer fees
Yes, It can be a scam. Usually the coins that are airdropped are also sold at ICOs. And they usually ask you to downlaod an app, register in their website, join a telegram group, follow them on facebook, follow on twitter, etc. They want to have many subscribers and followers to show that they have a lot of fans.
They want you to help them to attract investors.

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.
