The easiest way to find out if the airdrop is fake or not - is to enter the telegram chat of this project and ask admins there. If there are no telegram chats you can check their social media accounts: Twitter, Facebook, Medium. Also check if they have Discord channel or Slack. The last way to check this issue is writing to their support via email.

For me, the first indicator of a scam airdrop is the need to go through an KYC, or install some third-party application or wallet. That’s how fraudsters get access to our information.

I do not encounter those fake airdrops because I just look at the official telegram group chat about their announcement if they will be having airdrop .

Even this does not always help to know whether Airdrop is fake or not, from such a large amount of quality there are very few, and those who will bring even less profit!
I don't see any airdrop that could give us much,  it only just a pity. I've participated a lot of airdrops before but it is so sad that only few of them will give their promise.  It lead into the possibilities that mostly airdrops are just a scam and never expect to have them. That is why,  I stop from doing it and focus on bounties and trading.

Thank you for your reminder. Under normal circumstances, I will only collect free airdrop tokens. If there is any expenditure in exchange for airdrop tokens, I will not hesitate to close the webpage.

Before making any Airdrop, I checked them. I will visit the telegram of the project and ask them if Airdrop is real or not. It will help me avoid fake Airdrop . You mentioned the preventive methods in the post. It is good for everyone

For me all airdrops are fake, they are distributing their token, because they knew that the receiver of these airdrops will help them get into the market, from there the dev will pour all their bags and those who bought will end up losing their investment.

Look for the root cause as a project, study the project itself, the idea, the team, partners, white paper. Find project weaknesses and ask questions about them. So you can determine how good the project is, and if it’s good, then everything that it offers is also good.

In my experience it's mostly airdrop from tokens that use the Ethereum platform, so I look for the contract address between the original token and the fake token in airdrop and it's very clear that it's different, so we can be sure that it is fraud.

I think you should check the project that is doing an airdrop. If the project is legit, I would also join its airdrop and I do not think that you should invest so much time in checking an airdrop status. Just ask the admins in Telegram.
And what do you think they should tell you? It seems to me that the situation as a whole resembles some sort of market, where you can come and ask the seller whether the goods are fresh? Of course he will say that everything is fine.

Yes, there are a lot of coins with the same name, and I don’t think that it’s just like that. Most likely they are fraudsters who hope for inattention.

Well, it is good analysis. I also always check the telegram group whether they are seemly trusted or not to hold ICO, bounty,  airdrops, or the programs. Then, never forget about analyzing their team member based on their social media and other link. So that we can check whether they are real or not.

Nowadays its really hard to spot a legit ICO.
Most of them ends with fails and you work for free.
So i was not applying on bounties and airdrops for a long period.

analyze the airdrop well is a powerful way to avoid fraud. a lot of things suspicious can be found from the website can be a bit like knowing about fraud in the airdrop. In addition, see the liveliness of the Group and social media into consideration for finding fraud in airdrop.

Airdrops like these are very common, which is one of the reasons I do not like engaging myself in airdrop. There are only few genuine ones.
Airdrops are meant to be free, which makes me not to like the idea of selfdrops and I will never give out my money for any selfdrop.
Sometimes airdrop participants do not just have choice, but to keep trying, until they get a genuine one, but I advise them not to give out their fund.

That information is good to know if the airdrop is legit or fake. Doing research is best to know it by reviewing it and analyzing it you can create an Idea if it's legit or not. But you can know once the airdropairdrop is done.

I can tell you right away. Most airdrop is a fraud in order to get your data.
Those Airdrop that remained, pay very little money in the amount of up to $ 5.
All this suggests that there is no point in participating in the Airdrop.

The fact is that even in Telegram admins need to be checked, because in very interesting projects there are fake names that are negative counterparts to the admin and try to deceive the project participant.
