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?

This case should not be tolerate for it was clear that they asking money from you guys. And don't give any even a single cent. Leave the aidrops and search for other. What is the purpose why they ask you $9 ?

I did the KYC for the Dfinity airdrop because I think Dfinity actually has some potential. I was a bit hesitant too about the $9, it said it was a "processing fee for compliance costs". Seems like they are trying to be very compliant (though US citizens and residents are not eligible for airdrop). I went for it. Then after a day or so I received a refund of the $9 and a message saying this:

"Due to large amounts of fraudulent activity, we were required to issue refunds to some airdrop participants who used credit cards to pay their processing fee. Unfortunately, due to an abundance of caution, legitimate participants were also issued temporary refunds during this process."

Finally, after a couple weeks they notified me that they were done investigating and that they determined I was legitimate (duh). But they said because of the what happened I would still receive the airdrop but not have to pay the $9 compliance cost fee.

Interesting situation, but my take is that the fee has something to do with them trying to ensure they do things as legal as possible. I have a pretty good impression of the project...but who knows....

You shouldn’t give your valuable data it’s really risky you are not knowing who is going to use your identity also paying money for airdrop is joke . Airdrop name only suggest it’s free money so never get trapped for this .

Too risky, airdrop who only get $ 9 just for KYC. not worth it.
Our identity is more important than $ 9.

I refuse to do the airdrop project that requires KYC. Why? The airdrop is given free of charge. And there are also projects that will cheat your KYC information. Everyone is still away from the KYC airdrop project.

As far as I know, this money ($ 9 per participant) is required by the team to pay the work of mediators involved in the KYC procedure. At least such information I found on the Internet. To pay or not it is your choice, but I would not do it.

I thinks this is another kind,ponzi airdrops this DFINITY project,in other words this is deceptive or fraudulent kind
of project,because based on my experience there's no one kind of campaign that asking a payment in order to regain a rewards coming from airdrops campaign,thats why its better that you stay away from that airdrops campaign,because i can assure you theres nothing you can gain this kind of project is only loosing your capital.
