Topic: SCAM INSTANT AIRDROPS ! DON't FALL FOR IT (Read 415 times)
Does it mean all Airdrops are scam? If yes, how can someone know the genuine once to participate?
I think not all airdrops are scams as many of the legitimate projects also used airdrops for marketing purposes. However, right now there are now many scammers which use the same technique to convince people to buy their scam tokens in exchange for any amount of cryptocurrency...the more they can fool the bigger they stashed. We should be careful as scammers, hackers and phishers and all the bad elements online are now in cryptocurrency and they are all ready to victimize us if we are not careful and when we are getting ready they can strike like agents of death.
Almost all of them are scam and only 1% of them are reliable to stake with since most of the airdrop coins has been pumped up just for the fulfillment of the dev and then sudden dump when everybody trust them. Try to look around you wouldn't see a ICO tokens got a huge value so better we shouldn't stick on their butts and dump those whenever we had a chances so that we can secure the possible profit we may get.
After registering in airdrops, I began to receive phishing emails. There is a suspicion that 90% of airpoids are scum. At least, I have never yet received a payment for airdrops. I should be more careful in choosing the project!
Sometimes we can lured by sweet words and tend to investigate if that airdrop can be beneficial us but in the end you’ll end up filling up forms or even sending ETH and don’t get coins in return.
Nowadays 90% bounty program are scam they use as to promot their project and pay us nothing,I have seen many such scam bounty programs in past.
why they are scam? Can you please provide more reasons
I am not participating in this type of airdrop. because it sounds ridiculous to me. it is very likely that projects such as sending a small amount of ethernet etc are of poor quality and cheating. Everyone wake up. otherwise you can hoax it.
Has anyone ever gotten anything from Airdrops?
Now there is a lot of fraud, not only among the airways, but also among the bounty
Most airdrop were scam which they were no where to be find in the exchange market. Some airdrop like
1: Atoc
2: Lunh
3: sdz
4: vgm
These airdrop were scam and worth nothing on the exchange
1: Atoc
2: Lunh
3: sdz
4: vgm
These airdrop were scam and worth nothing on the exchange
Every airdrop that ask for payment just to recieve the token reward is completely a scam. Never trust bounty airdrops which they require their participant to pay a certain amount of ethereum.
A proverb says:
"Scammers never die..!"
Handicap of development on blockchain and its best side crypto moneys is that scammers! They have a brillant brains however only use for robbing, stealing people. Too much embarrassing behavior!
Please guys leave cryptic world alone!

Probably never trust anyone that asks for you to send something first!

I participating in airdrops and recieving just only 10% from filled up) Where are others? Too much scam last time
It is getting worst right now because of using referral programs which is you may need to pass KYC some of airdrops then next your Private keys. I am into airdrops, but must need to check if it is really good or not, even if it is for free only.
Most instant airdrop is a scam I received some airdrop tokens in my wallet for past five months now it never hit exchange. I can stop people from doing it but I can say it waist of time
I am not sure fast airdrop if we send eth, i am never do it
If.they are send token too,so we dont know if the token will in market

I have seen a few LEGIT instant airdrops that looked like this:
1- send 0 eth transaction to this address and get x tokens (you pay gas)
2- send 0.001 eth to this address and get x + 1000 tokens (you pay 0.001 eth +gas)
I only participate in instant airdrops that have the "send 0 eth xaction" option and test it with this 0 eth xaction first. Then you at least know the tokens exist and maybe can build proper smart contracts, etc... But as always, if you feel uncomfortable - don't do it. There will always be other things for you to do.
