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,

In actually that is not a free ICO , in actual AirDrop system is a simple way of advertisement for the project by giving a limited amount of tokens free of cost to the users .
And also with the address system the ICO team make a simple rule of referral system so overall year address system works as a simple method of making advertisement without cost .
But still here I would like to say that most of the ICOs are scam , because the main reason behind this factor is that in the present time to launch a ICO is a very simple method to do a scam with the investors .
here I would suggest you that you should keep himself away from the ICO investment but still it will be more better for you that you should go for the free collection of tokens , because not every ICO is scam about 8% of the ICOs results into better to give a perfect profit
For their investors .
and also if you find that any issue is going to be much better than any other issues that were existing in the past then surely you should go for the investment but carefully you should make investment in very small amount so that the chances to loss in much amount doesn't exist for you and if in any case ICO get successful then you can make a better amount of profit easily.

Of course, it highly has the chance that it's a scam. Like airdrops, i dont think there are airdrops which really gives free coins because according to what i new or heard, people who always joins airdrops ended up getting nothing

Time is also considered an investment, although you don't lose money, they can make you waste your time and make you lose money indirectly, also think that many airdrops have real investors, who are also swindled when the project falls at the end.

If u wanna waste ur time create a separate wallet and email (preferably from a separate laptop or browser) and register in any airdrop you like. U won't get anything in return, but this will be safe for ur data and computer!

Everything could be a scam. ICOs, coins. projects, products, and so on. Unfortunately there is not the solution for this problem today and I suppose that it will be in the nearest time.

whatever that can sometimes be a scam. Moreover, the coin certainly can. the problem now is that coin users are getting more and more and it is not being used by them or irresponsible parties. for now, things like that don't have the right solution. so everything can't be removed.

Mostly something free could be on scam, well I'm not saying that all the give away or all kinda stuff are scam. But anyway the scam doesn't take your coins out. Be careful.

Since, I joined a lot of airdrop in the past and I don't receive also a lot of promises token. Those projects, I consider them scammer because I did not do it freely, I had a task to do and I just waste my precious time during that time. Time is gold, they need to pay me.

If someone gives you something, although you didn't show any effort, 90% this project is created for fraud. Other than that, I think that the scam rate will be less in the other campaigns.

Well most airdrops require little work and little personal information.
It can still be termed a scam, if they use your activity to boost the hype around their project and don't reward you. But the work is quite insignificant I don't see the reason anyone would throw a fit about it.
Except of course they get delicate private information, the potential rewards is usually so small I don't know why anyone would provide such info.

Yes, most special tokens are huge amounts of free.It will turn into scams if the developers will abandon the cards. Some dev will take advantage of they will sell the token when the price will rise then pour the value.

There are sites and forums where they exchange money with each other without any commissions. Advantages of this method - you do not pay intermediaries. But you need to be careful

Maybe anything, but the most important thing is probably that now many projects are really scam, in spite of the fact that there are very few good projects now, they are really very few, so you need to be very careful.

If you look at it from your angle then it might not be a scam but always remember they use to say time is money so you might not have physically invested your monies but hey you've been scammed of your time, energy and probably your ideas.

Indeed it can ! In the piece of those individuals who get the free coins or tokens, they can state that the free coins they got are not trick since they just get it for nothing, while the speculators of that coin/s can be influenced if those coins they contributed are given for nothing just to draw in financial specialists and toward the end, it will turned out a trick once they got something from the financial specialists.

In fact, there is a lot of Scam and it can be absolutely everywhere, even in the most successful ICO. After all, the human factor decides everything in the ICO. Ironically... cryptocurrency completely eliminates the human factor, but was created by man.

Yes it could be. Lots of fraud cases that occur at ICO including the Bounty Scam project. When people follow a Bounty campaign. And after they finish the campaign they are not paid. Because the Project is Scam or Fraud, So it is not paid, That is the incident that is often experienced by Bounty hunters.

Yes it can ! In the part of those people who get the free coins or tokens, they can say that the free coins they received are not scam because they only get it for free, while the investors of that coin/s can be affected if those coins they invested are given for free just to attract investors and at the end, it will turned out a scam once they got something from the investors.

Receiving token from bounty or airdrop is not only free. Maybe we say it is free because we dont spend money from it yet we work for it to gain token. But it is not 100% scam free because there some project that you wont recieve any token. As newbie. Always do research and master all about ICO and cryptocurrency.

I think that this is an absurd opinion although, of course, for the bounty of hunters who invested their time there, this may be so, because they in fact contribute much more than just money.

Of course, paying can be a scam, especially those that are free. you have to be careful with free, you have to check their project first, don't forget to research.
