Topic: KYC for the DFINITY airdrop - page 5. (Read 1578 times)
DFINITY Airdrop looks like a scam and can't be trusted, genuine Airdrops will never ask for payment before verifying participants, I smell a big foul play here and again it doesn't make sense to join Airdrops that requires your identity card, be careful because there is always more that meet the eye
So far, I strongly avoid airdrops that use KYC to get rewards. it's like selling our identities at cheap prices. however, if it is me, then I will reject it. but, it all depends on your response regarding the project. I quite believe many people will do KYC for that.
Comrades, I need your opinion. I signed up for an airdrop from the DFINITY project, which promises to send coins for an amount equivalent to 100 CHF. At the same time, they ask to participants to pay $ 9 for the passage of KYC. It seems to me that this is a fraud, but what do you think?
Can the project require money for the passage of KYC and should I do it?
Paying more for KYC to get approved? Sorry how doesn't this sound so wrong to you? This is a real scam Airdrop project, you've been warned, anything online that involves in sending money first before anything is a complete scam Can the project require money for the passage of KYC and should I do it?
It has been more than two years now and if I am correct no one has received this Airdrop from DFINITY. They have failed to launch their main net till date. A lot of people had payed $9 to complete the KYC.
I hope this does not turns around to be a scam as if it then it would be one of the biggest one related to airdrop.

Who still give up their identity for airdrops nowadays? Only referral airdrop Campaigns are worth it and that's even if you have alot of friends who will like to join anything you ask them to join, Airdrops isn't worth your time belief me, I know few projects still pays but too many airdrops are waste of time
A lot of airdrops require KYC but people still participate in it. People are only concerned about money but not their safety. Their identities may be exposed and bad guys can use them for malicious purposes
I'm not surprised, people like give up their I.D for 1$ to 5$ worth of tokens but that isn't my problem, some don't know about identity theft, not all Airdrops are legit, the fastest way of grabbing people's identity is through Airdrops, in the end you won't get the token

I think KYC procedure for an Airdrop should always be free, otherwise it is not an Airdrop at all. It is very strange to ask to pay 9$ for verification process.
Don't be surprised, there are a lot of airdrops like this right now. Even people will still KYC with 1-2 $. I do not understand why they did so because it was not worthy 
As far as I remember, in all cases when they demanded to send money for a KYC check or for any other reason during the ICO bounty, this did not lead to anything good. As a rule, all projects turned out to be fraud. Anyway, the requirement to undergo KYC, if the award can be less than one thousand euros, from June 21 is already illegal according to the FATF recommendation.
Immediately they ask you to pay for KYC should know you shouldn't even consider further. When KYC is required, it is checked in order to prevent the business owner of being charge with AML and abating crime. This doesn't require anything except physical examination. The dangerous is even supersede being scam but you stand the chance of your documents being sold in the dark web. If your document got sold and it is being used for illegal activities, you stand the chance of being convicted

No. Why do they need to require you some payment just for your KYC? This is clearly a scam and you should start avoiding this airdrop. They should give their airdrop for free and they don't even need to require anyone to undergo KYC process. Don't fall for their scam activities, you will only regret it in the end.

I joined few airdrops that asked for KYC in 2018 and few of them paid, coinsbit and origin project airdrop was the one I joined last and they paid but I have never seen a airdrop project that ask people for deposits before sending them token, it's red flag
It's because a SCAM all over. Asking participants to pay $9 is just absurd, and this is not the first time that we have heard this kind of stunt that is being pulled out by those so called bounties. Others will ask for your wallet's private key and then this scam.
And I do hope that no one will fall for this kind of trick because this is well-known already. Besides, not just the money but your personal identification is being stolen here.

Such requirements are similar to the fact that airdrop itself is a scam. 100 CHF is approximately equal to 100 us dollars. So there is no point in giving you 100 Swiss francs in exchange for your $ 9. Ask them to give you 90 CHF instead of 100 CHF, but without sending them $ 9)
In addition, there is no guarantee that these coins will actually be worth 100 CHF.

If it's just an airdrop and ask KYC or required payment, I choose to leave it if the payment I get is not comparable, but for your case 100% I will leave it for whatever reason. Now, many reasons and way are made just to scammed not only investors but also bounty/airdrop hunters. We need more carefully.
Even if that was a trusted airdrop and will we sell our identity for only a few dollars? that's the worst thing that i have ever seen in my life and i remember so many people have been participating in the old KYC airdrop and they were also getting scammed. They ask for $9 dollars before they sent 100 CHF in coins! It's a scam, if this is a regular airdrop they would just sent to people with a valid address, who will the form! With or without KYC, some airdrops ask for KYC some don't, but to send them money for the airdrop is a clear scam. And not just to send them $9 to do a KYC too, I think we have some greedy scammers!
There is no way that participants should send a few bucks before they get their free drop. It should be free since they are the one who needs the participants. Also, they require kyc which is not really recommended because they might use it to illegal activities.

In short it is a bad idea for a kyc to claim airdrop, i don't support that idea at all, everyone knows that most airdrop tokens are usually small amount so why someone will even think of doing kyc for such small amount, it doesn't worth it in my opinion, but different stroke for different folks.

You are here even before the 2017 Pump happens yet you are asking this kind of question?
There is no legit company that will ask you first of 9$ just to pass your KYC.
We don't even trust those project that asked for KYC and here you go?joining a airdrop that seek payment first?
This is a True scamming so better leave this one and find other legit company(but i am sure you will be harder to find lol)
