There are a lot of scam airdrops now, where they will ask people to donate before they will be able to fill airdrops form which is not normal and at last the worth of the token they might give might not be equal to the worth of the coin been donated.

there are airdrops because scams and their porters are people's donations and they buy their tokens so beware of scams that airdrops are different airdrops because they hold their wallet or the so-called privite key and when they get it that's where they can access your wallet to get your token holders

Too many of these are out there. They just wanna steal people's details and be using for their illicit activities.

It's pitiable that people still fall for these criminals.

The details you submit could be used for another airdrop. Worse is if you submit kyc document. It's done for you as your documents would be used for other things.

when someone advertise that they will give airdrop of 30-40 USD, it is suspicious, and in most cases, it is a scam...
regular airdrops usual deliver few bucks, not more, because the purpose is not to get rich, than to get reach.

Airdrop is only scam when they are Looking a Donations.

Airdrop at the moment is more like a lottery. Maybe you're lucky and you really get coins, maybe just scam. The most dangerous thing about a airdrop is that you give your data.

most airdrop today are scam and only selected are legit. just be careful if you want to join them because if they ask for donation or they ask you private key or any personal info then it is scam.

The only airdrops that I join are the one without asking for donation because even if I don't receive any tokens it's okay because they are only free.

Airdrops are proliferating nowadays,there are numerous of airdrops popping out everyday but only few of them are legit but majority of them are scams so stay away that required KYC like requiring additional personal identity, passport for example. Some of them will gather info and sell them and some use it as identity theft so let's be vigilant of some suspicious ICOs.

Thanks for the info mate but there is more airdrop that is scam specially the selfdrop you will send 0 ethereum and you will receive token but the truth is the gas that yo use is automatically will go into their account so beware on airdrop and some of them are phising site once you click you will be hack so it is better to do the bounty than joining in airdrop.

I have been into airdrops before and i used to participate as many as i can without thinking that it is a scam or not. But those airdrops that asks for donation as payment for gas are simply discarded right away. So i don't really care enough if i have participated in a scam bounty, besides, it's just a matter of seconds or minute to finish the registration form and all you have to do is sit back and wait for a couple of days before you receive your free tokens.

They are collecting emails and telegram usernames. Beware!

1) They sell emails, telegram groups or use those lists for spam/bounties
2) There is possibility of using it for phishing/social hacking.

OP, thanks for opening this topic. I've noticed the BAT Token & the Macro Token Airdrops. They even had point 1 written the same up to Telegram channel link. I've reported Macro Airdrop.

I will follow this topic and help to report scams. We're all in this together, we must help each other...

Great job!
