Topic: HOW CAN ONE KNOW A FAKE AIRDROP? - page 3. (Read 1237 times)
It's hard to determine whether it is fake or not but you can research about their project by viewing their websites and social medias accounts.
now it's a bit difficult to determine the original airdrops, because in general airdrops are now a lot of scams, I personally don't focus anymore on looking for and participating in airdrops, because most airdrops now, if not a scam, then the coins given are shitcoin
I can conclude that fake airdrop projects have criteria such as easy requirements, offering token prizes of hundreds of dollars or even thousands of dollars, requiring participants to do KYC, sending ETH gas fees to claim airdrop tokens, and many other criteria. and you need to avoid if you find this kind of airdrop.
airdrop as you said there are indeed many scams. even disadvantage participants. from several telegram groups, we can also see it. there is also via email that out of nowhere they get our email and send continuously new airdrops that do not generate money. 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.
Basically you have to think that if you participate in 100 airdrops, 99 airdrops are scam. From my personal opinion in the last couple of years, i have only received 3 airdrops which is acutally worth in the market and the rest are cheaters who didn't send me tokens. So there is no machine yet to determine which airdrop will pay you or which will not pay. You have to do with your own will.
I'm not sure if there are still legit airdrops after 2017 bull market, nowadays 90% of all the airdrops are scam,if you are looking for a way to identify a fake and a real airdrop then just know they are not much difference BTW them, but one of the ways I identify a fake airdrop is when participants are been asked to donate a certain amount of crypto (maybe in eth) in exchange for their airdrop token, stay away from such airdrops, normally airdrop is a free money sometimes they just require you to just follow them on Twitter or like their Facebook page, they shouldn't be asking for some crypto in exchange for their token, so stay away from such airdrops.
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.
Less than 1% of airdrop is genuine. So don't waste your time to find the legit one. Also the payment of airdrop is very low which sometimes don't meet the transaction fee. Better you control users who can add you in different telegram groups.

Better you control users who can add you in different telegram groups. lately I joined airdrop blindly without thinking about whether the airdrop was a scam or not, why did I do that? because the airdrop task is very easy and I also don't want to waste time just researching airdrops 
as long as we are not harmed then I think it's legal
you are not harmed but you likely joined an illegal airdrop . even if you say that you dont care , you are helping these scammers to reach to the other people and what if those people are weak and they are going to invest . they can get scammed but you wont still care with them anyway and they are also responsible for it because its thier action . you still waste your time joining scam airdrop even by not researching or by doing easy task because they arent still going to pay you but if you will only research , your effort are not going to get wasted and you can also earn good profit . as long as we are not harmed then I think it's legal
My first indicator of a fake airdrop is KYC. I have some friends saying that if an airdrop demands KYC most likely it is fake and just hunting for peoples information to sell into the dark web. You will know if an airdrop is real if it is from a legitimate company so you must search deeply on the companies background first.
Airdrops contain many fake airdrops; However, it is sometimes very difficult to determine which is the fake airdrop. Before joining any airdrop to be free from fake airdrops, do a thorough search of its website, LinkedIn and other social media and white papers; Hopefully you will understand a lot about fake airdrops. You can also join a telegram airdrop group, where different airdrops are discussed; From there you can find valid airdrops and find airdrop scams.
I think it is obvious for an airdrop to be a fake. It is very suspicious for an airdrop if the airdrop rewards is so very big and unrealistic. Perhaps, big rewards may attract people but it could also be the reason that the people wiuld be suspicious and could just fall into a fake airdrop. Also it is very suspicious if the task is so many, and the social media accounts are also fake auch that it is only made to have more followers, and then in the long run they wouldn't give rewards.
Currently most of the Airdrop is a scam, sometimes we are lucky to get tokens that can be sold but the value is low, not worth the current cost of ETH gas.
We can also get Airdrops that are worth hundreds of USD or more, it's just that it's very rare. (1 in 1000).
To assess a valuable Airdrop, of course we have to look at their website, and see their detailed project information then make their own decisions about the airdrop, if you are having trouble maybe this site can help you assess an Airdrop.

First of all i think that most so called airdrops nowadays are no real airdops anymore because for most of them you have to follow twitter or do something else.
Real airdrops are for free. You just enter your adress and get free tokens.
Yesterday is saw warnings in telegram about a fake airdrop that deletes you telegram account if you click on the telegram link.
So i would always double check if an airdrop is for real or not. In telegram and on the internet.

See what the task you have to done, if there is some task who ask you a personal identity it is not worth at all. Although the airdrop is legit and pay all participant at the end but it is not worth if you pay with your personal identity, avoid this airdrop. The airdrop event only has a few task and it doesn't need a long time to complete all the task. So, I don't think you need to know the airdrop is scam or not, just be cateful with the airdrop who ask you personal identity then you have to leave it.
Well it is not that easy to diffenciate between a fake airdrop and a genuine one the best thing to do is to make a research about the project itself ,go through their whitepaper and try to know even a little about the team members before engaging in any airdrop to avoid promoting scams.

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.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.
For the beginning of project airdrop we can't determine who's projects are trusted and been work. They are the same on figures and way in process. Always double check 8n participating airdop by reading their platform viste their site.
see the project visit the site and see the team, development, and others that make the project look convincing.
and actually most of the token airdrop will be sent but because of the high gas price then if your token is not sent it means the project is fake, because they don't intend to give the token, or the project is just a hoax.

Stop trying to figure out how to spot a fake airdrop. Just ignore all of them. Since around 99.9% of those air drops are fake, it is not worth wasting your time collecting those shit coins and keeping track of each and every of those coins. You would be better off doing something more productive. And you need to be really lucky to get a good airdrop. Remember, airdrops are given for free and everyone receives them. So, there is always a high chance it won't be of any value other than few dollars. And like I said, you need to be extremely lucky to earn something significant from an airdrop. And its more like you have better odds placing bets on dices and winning something.
don't judge too quickly or you lose your chance because if you go on a legit airdrop like uni then you lose thousands of dollarsbe a smart person see official news, white papers and moments
that is the key in my opinion
