Not all airdrops are scams, we can say scams even if it's free because we're trying to spend our time. But if you choose the right one, you will gain a lot.

This is a fraud because a bounty and airdrop not pay for the work. They use our time for free.

Scam is not only when there is money loss involved. As long as you dedicated your time, resources to fill in your details for the airdrop and they fail to honour their own part of the deal, it's definitely a scam. Also remember that some of them require you to join their telegram group, follow them on social media so we shouldn't treat their shortcomings lightly.

A Blockchain Mobile Operator With Token Rewards

Sometimes it does. There are times that free tokens can be a scam, the goal of the management team is to gain investors, that's why they giving free tokens/coins just to promote their projects to the public. The people who get free rewards can't be affected by the scam but the investors will.

Not at all, but free projects are more often are scams, but from the other side I have taken part in come of them and the profit was so good there, so they were not scams.

Not everything that free is a scam. Sometimes any free coins can have better market that any expensive coins.
Most importantly is that the ICO project is good with supported by good team behind it.

even though it's free, it could be a scam because I lost the time and energy for a Bounty or Airdrop to get a worthless Token in the cryptocurrency market.

Yes, something free can be a scam because not all scam must be money dupe, even ones time and energy wasted could be frustrating as one would have better used the wasted on other real thing.
Secondly, ones data collected may be used to implicate or even hack ones account.
Something free can be scam.

If there are conditions hat you must fulfill before the free token is given, it is no longer free because you now have obligation to fulfill  a condition or many condition before you could get what is promised!

Of course not all projects can be successful, we need to find better projects from these projects, so that we can make a profit, so we spend more energy and time on the research project.

Yup definitely, something free could be a scam.
I understand that you do not consider your ETH address and email address very important that even if shared it does not matter.
SCAM would be termed for something what is promised to you in return of something (could be email, eth address or any activity) you do for there airdrop and not receiving it or receiving tokens which are worthless.

It is a scam which has not seen the results only. they make us go into various sites they include social media in order to look has a lot of enthusiasm to join in it. of course, if this kind of investor will be able to confidently to interested and joined because it has many enthusiasts. It could be that this is a scam it just hasn't been seen clearly only.

Yes it is possible for sure, giving something rewards for free then it may lead to hack our personal information logged on their website, maybe used the same username and password, a phising sites. So, be carefull and be aware for those who intend to give something free.

It happens all the time when an email came with a message telling you to claim coins and its too late when you realize its actually a phishing site.
If they are giving free coins like in airdrop, it could still be a scam when suddenly there are good volume already and the team suddenly drops their bomb and unload all the tokens they got.

I don't think so. By Airdop or bounty is the marketing measure for the project. The new ICO sale is the problem, the development team to embrace the investor's new scam project

not all bounties and airdrops are scams, but many of them are now scam, and even all that is free is a scam, because we don't accept anything when we have finished bounty and airdrop.

I have seen so many situations and instances where things that are free becoming scam and most times, people easily get scammed through free things.
