How do you know this? if you get tokens for free and in most cases it's just a form with minimal actions, it's like a lottery :) only you do not invest your money ... just fill in the data and wait ..Title: Re: Scam vs. Legit tokens Post by: desomnomnom on November 10, 2017, 07:16:09 AM What I usually do is to do a quick search online and see if there's anyone talking about the coin. Chances are, if it's a scam, it will be exposed by someone online :D Otherwise I would look at the team, website and telegram groups.
Title: Re: Scam vs. Legit tokens Post by: crairezx20 on November 10, 2017, 07:19:48 AM Mostly airdrop coins are made just for scam but there are few legit tokens out there just claiming there are good just make sure don't give your private keys just to get airdrop coins.. I heard someone from reddit having problem claiming airdrop coins and asking for private keys and all of his funds are gone..
It will be hardly to find a legit token but claiming all airdrop coins will be a good idea and someday it will be worth it. to hold. Title: Re: Scam vs. Legit tokens Post by: radeone on November 10, 2017, 07:22:57 AM I would read up on it before hitting the go button. Understand the product and/or service before jumping in. I have invested in a few ico's but fortunately only 1 of them was a loser and the other ones have paid pretty decently. Most of the time its about how long you can hold for.

Its very simple, to know if its scam or legit, if its a scam the admin will go ahead and sell on etherdelta without distributing anything to the airdroppers. Title: Re: Scam vs. Legit tokens Post by: abduljacklu on November 10, 2017, 09:30:30 AM check the products if they have existing products,check the long term plan,and the developers.

Title: Re: Scam vs. Legit tokens Post by: Mark1996 on November 11, 2017, 02:09:12 PM How to know if token from airdrop is a scam or legit? You can go to their websites and check them out or you can find it as a scam if they are asking for your private kes, because all airdrops never require you to provide your private key, if they do you must doubt and do not fall for their scam.Title: Re: Scam vs. Legit tokens Post by: Mark1996 on November 11, 2017, 02:14:31 PM sometimes those who ask for token donation are also scam so they can collect tokens for themselves but not all. So you have to be careful if such things happen or go to their websites if something suspicious then its better not to participate.
Title: Re: Scam vs. Legit tokens Post by: Ailmand on November 11, 2017, 02:17:16 PM How to know if token from airdrop is a scam or legit? - They have products that are already working.- Their products serve to solve that problem in the community. - Clear long-term plan Great points. Basically, to obtain this information, the best thing to do is to research on the coins or tokens. Also, take note that there are some hackers that use airdrops to hack and obtain your wallet details in fraudulent ways. So, joining blindly can have a double-edge effect because it put you on a vulnerable position. Title: Re: Scam vs. Legit tokens Post by: rayjellanajao on November 11, 2017, 02:21:12 PM Legit tokens are those who have a dedicated team, the token had a purpose, well planned roadmap and whitepaper while scam token are those who required you to donate some amount, forcing you to donate, asking your private keys. It's too obvious that they were scam though, so don't fall for them.

I've also seen it happen multiple times that people pasted their private keys in the google doc instead of their wallet address. Title: Re: Scam vs. Legit tokens Post by: Btcvilla on November 11, 2017, 02:29:22 PM How to know if token from airdrop is a scam or legit? there is so much we can see from airdrop. most airdrop has no future potential, does not even have a selling point in the market. so I think if airdrop that has no concept or roadmap, or white paper is not an effort to follow. Title: Re: Scam vs. Legit tokens Post by: siddu67 on November 11, 2017, 03:21:55 PM How to know if token from airdrop is a scam or legit? from my opinion why you need find out legit token or scam token sir. airdrop means free token so if you get any token from airdrop? you can check all about like website,whitepaper,team,roadmap and wait for coming market like etherdelta and coinmarketcap. Title: Re: Scam vs. Legit tokens Post by: 4hajs on November 11, 2017, 03:24:31 PM Sometimes buying scam tokens is more profitable than buying the legit tokens. Regal coin and all the ponzi scams, people made huge profits like 50x, this is insane. I think I will look for scam coins and throw some money into them.
Title: Re: Scam vs. Legit tokens Post by: Raffielo on November 11, 2017, 03:47:43 PM How to know if token from airdrop is a scam or legit? The one strategy that I look at within the white paper is to see how the proposed useage of the token is being planned. Where will the token be used and how? Those are my main questions. Afterward, I attempt to answer the question who is going to be partnered with the token, as in big company wise. The reason for this line of thinking is to understand if there will be a large circulation of a token in big business. Otherwise, the speculation usually is right that a token stalls and profits evaporate. There’s always a need in closed system such as blockchain to have directions for the flow and funneling of a token — it needs to be used otherwsie it doesn’t go anywhere.Title: Re: Scam vs. Legit tokens Post by: lukmankhan25 on November 11, 2017, 04:24:04 PM i have experience with token scam, its name is eGBYTE. he asked to pay 0003 eth to register. and from then on I will not again make the same mistake. airdrop it should be free .. that's it. if told to pay you should be careful. Title: Re: Scam vs. Legit tokens Post by: dissgo on November 11, 2017, 04:30:47 PM Check its website, see the contract and whatever you wanna join, don't ever give your private keys if they ask you to fill in a form registration.
Don't ever send amount of coins, especially with huge amount. It's just all alibi. Title: Re: Scam vs. Legit tokens Post by: zxl912157 on November 11, 2017, 04:41:54 PM I'm not too dizzy about airdrop, if there is time then you can do it. If not, I forget it.
there are other jobs that are more promising. Airdrop is easy but not all coins can be sold mostly just a junk coin. >:( Title: Re: Scam vs. Legit tokens Post by: saymynem on November 11, 2017, 05:10:01 PM You're looking for signals of long-term commitment to solving a real problem. You also want to see a proper application of the blockchain. If you ask "why is this on the blockchain?" and the answer seems like a cloud of smoke, then it's a sh*tcoin.
Like others have said, a working demo, or better a working product, should be a per-requisite. Title: Re: Scam vs. Legit tokens Post by: lukmankhan25 on November 20, 2017, 05:09:19 PM scam ?, airdrop no scam unless you are required to pay for it. if you are told to pay it is mostly a scam. because I've experienced it.
Title: Re: Scam vs. Legit tokens Post by: Rose119 on November 20, 2017, 05:20:29 PM When you join to an airdrop you should not expect on it because its just a free token ,be thankful if they give you a token. But if not? Just move on and look again for another airdrop, Make sure that you won't give any donation because i think that is scam.
