Nowadays crypto world is surrounded by fake airdrop.
It is very difficult to know the real one from the fake.
For this I think you should join the legit airdrop group which provide genuine airdrop all time.

Then do you know which is the original airdrop group? If you know, try to share the link here so that people in this forum can enter the original airdrop group, because many telegram groups are fake at this time.

There is so much fraud airdrops & projects in telegram. If they offer something that make no sense it's obviously a scam. If someone want to participate on airdrop go find a legit project. Im sure you will get an airdrop reward.

It is hard to know which airdrop is fake but we could always keep ourselves safe by avoiding airdrops that required our personal information or have a KYC policy before they accept you on their list of participants.
We should also avoid the airdrops that requires payment in order to receive their token/coin no matter how small it is.

Anytime I go into my telegram account, I see countless number of airdrop with countless offers but the challenge is trying to know which of this airdrop that is genuine.

It is very sad to see that I took part in many airdrops and none of them have been distributed. I fear about the bounties too that they will be the same and these that I took part in I get nothing. My ETH wallet is empty and I am one year now trying to do all airdrops and some bounties. Maybe I picked the wrong ones but I will have some more patience for the bounties.

You have lost nothing if your KYC remains fre but if all those airdrops you joined ask KYC and you have given them?then i think you should be aware of losing while the scammers won over you.
they can sell your details in any 3rd party services in which data's of those airdroppers has been used.
and you will be surprise that one of these days?too may emails will come to you lol.

When I see that airdropped tokens or coins have a $ value, while they are not trade (example - join airdrop and get XXX tokens (5.5$ worth) or something similar to that) I immediately skip them as they are 99% fake, scam or worthless. I would say, that most of airdrops that run by telegram bots are fake and created just to make projects telegram group look bigger. I would not trust telegram channels or pages, that collects info about airdrops and share it with other. All of this is made just to build a referral database (for group or page owner) with hope that airdroped altcoin really have a value in future.

It's not easy to spot fake airdrops, because sometimes they look perfect but they turn out to be scams. But I will mention a few
things that show the characteristics of fake airdrops for consideration when going to joining airdrops. Among others simple Websites,
without a whitepaper, promising large numbers of airdrops, admin projects are not active and social media is too spamming. If the
airdrops you are participating in have the characteristic I have mentioned, better avoid following these airdrops. Because most likely
the airdrops are fake.

You can count on several factors to evaluate an airdrop project
1. Website
2. Project team
3. Value
4. Technology ...

If users can't sell their tokens or if this isn't listed on coinmarketcap then is better to stay away from that airdrop because those are coins without value. Maybe in the future, those coins get a value, but that's a bet, maybe the coin never gets listed.

Or take a quick look at their website, you will already get impression if the project is fake or not. Because if they do have generic content, high likely that they are just fake. But if they have solid foundation and all the documentation is there, probably they are running a legit project but you need to study more on this project.

It's no longer effective in my point of view, scammers are already doing the copycat of true project. They can imitate easily how real developers build their websites.

Most of the time, hunters are all relied with luck following or participating with any projects who offered this bounties.

Keep yourself well aware and stop providing important information such as KYC and if there's any fees most probably it will turned to scammed out.

It's easy to distinguish real airdrops from those that don't. You need to see the track record of projects that hold airdrops. If the project is already well-known and is not looking for money, then it is certain that the airdrop is a real airdrop compared to projects that have never entered an exchange.

not very clear, but you can see from the website, the development roadmap or the estimated token being shared.
it doesn't make sense for a project to distribute $ 1 million in airdrop tokens.
or providing an amount similar to or more than 10% of the total supply.

Well I think one way for you to determine whether an airdrop is a legit one and not a bogus or fake airdrop is by doing a thorough research before participating on it so that you may be able to earn a good profit on it.

That's right, I also don't know why I was in the telegram group informing me of the airdrop.
And the airdrop group has entered my telegram account with not a small amount.
I do not understand incoming airdrops, while I have never joined a telegram airdrop group.
Fake airdrop or not, I don't like about airdrops, obviously wasted my time.

the point is in yourself, make it a habit to do analysis before joining anything, and don't be easily tempted by big rewards.
to good to be true.
The first thing we have to do is we have to be realistic and not easily provoked by airdrop offers that promise big rewards. second, make sure you analyze before joining, whether it's an official airdrop by checking the official account of the project in question. third, a fake airdrop will ask you to send some funds under the pretext of being an activation or transaction fee, my advice if someone asks for such funds immediately leave and report the account.

If airdrops are worth and real it will make some noise on bitcointalk and other social media so don't waste your time by claiming every airdrop you see on telegram because 99% of them will be fake ones.There is no one rule to find whether the airdrop is real or fake but if you have the analytical skills to evaluate a project then it will help you in finding the real airdrop as well.

That's probably true,

but the moment that we can see it on bitcointalk that the certain airdrop is being talked about, the airdrop is probably finished by that time. It only means that it is hard to know fake airdrops and legit ones.

If you are talking about UNI tokens airdrop, it is only announced after the timeline period ended so no one really knows that it was coming but now scammers take advantage of uniswap and trying to imitate the same with same name or replica of it.
