Topic: Scam airdrop with national id pic (Read 135 times)
Do KYC is important thing if you want to join a token sale. cause its for legal stuff. If that only airdrop just skip it allready mate. you dont need that kind of airdrop who require your personal national id card.
As a bitcoiner, we all need our privacy that why we love the concept of being decentralized because no one needed our identity in order to do something, if a bounty or airdrop is requiring our national ID, I think this is already a scam, because if you just really wanted to give some token to advertise your company, why do you need the identity of the people who wanted to join your airdrop, not unless your planning something.
Even i have encountered some airdrops where they are asking for your identity and a photo holding your passport,which is crazy for an airdrop,i usually skip those ones because i would like to have my privacy and i would not want to provide my details to some unknown entity and i am not sure what they are going to make with those details.There are a lot of scammers ,so always be careful as there are people trying to extract your details with fake airdrops too,never click on any links which you do not trust and so on.
i think its the same problem for bounty program.
I would recommend you to skip all the airdrops. 99% of them are nothing but sheet coins. Especially never install any software wallets for airdrops, almost all of them have viruses. So you risk to loose all your savings. Instead of registering for airdrops. Try to participate in bounty campaigns or join ICO whitelists. Some ICOs can drop some coins for all whitelisted users. For instance, I got 500 COFI which were worth $100.

Hi all. We all know airdrop, and lot of them are scam.
Its not hard to understand its a scam when they told u ur private key, donate or other shit things like that its a scam. Be carful too of never create acc with the same password and email of ur exchanges or other private things.
But what about ur identity ? When they told u to send a pic for ur national id card/passport, be really really careful of this. I dont know if im wrong, but with a pic of ur identity card they can just send a mail to (low) exchanges and steal ur account. I mean "low exchanges" because i know they cant steal u with binance because u need to hand write what u want to do and send this with ur national id.
Do they have other possibility to use ur national id and scam u in the domain of cryptocurrency ?
Last point : I dont say its all time a scam when they told u to send ur id pic, airdrop or free ico like polymath was required a kyc and we just get 400$ at the launch.
Sorry for my bad english i try to do my best.
Thanks for the read.
