Hi All, a friend send me a message with info about a new token name NLC (Night Light Coin) with domain nlccoin.com
But the condition to receive the token airdrop is have to transfer ETH to this address: 0x36afEe66EA8d6a99A9c6c7e676D512eA4A19bC83
I'm not sure if this project is real or from any scammer to cheat everyone. Please give me some advice
Thank you

Hey. I am not an expert in scam projects, but now I will read and tell my initial opinion, and then I will additionally turn to the mail, which, I hope, the creator indicated.


I read a white paper, in principle, the idea is not new. That is, with a successful launch, you can wait for your profit. The only question remains is whether they will be able to start work, having received money? Not sure. I wrote them a letter in the mail. And I saw a small mistake with the translation, as it turned out, the one who made the site - from Turkey. Are you by any chance not from Turkey? This will shed more light on the situation, thanks.

You shouldn't have to send ETH to receive an airdrop. Airdrops are supposed to be free coins "airdropped" to people so that early adoption and use is encouraged.

I am not sure
But I think it is 99% scam

100% scam

Airdrop mean's free Coin or Token, if needed to transfer first some amount then it's not airdrop, it's like Token Sale and usually it's scam

If someone is asking for money, then is a big red sign.
Usually the true projects runs IEOs on exchanges, and even that are in the majority of the cases scams.
Asking ETH or any other crypto for an Airdrop, is 100% scam.

P.S. I don't advise to visit that website, smells fishy.

If an airdrop is asking you to send eth to a certain address, you should suspect as a scam.
There is no legit airdrop that gives a coin in exchange for money. Airdrop should be free and was not distributed with fees. Don't be fool by their trick, avoid it as much as you can.

I'm sure it's 70% scam, because in my opinion and based on my experience also while playing in the world of bounties and airdrops, no airdrops or even bounties ask to be transferred first. it's very similar to the usual scam scheme that occurs in telegrams, someone sends a private message to you about investing and being told to deposit, you will get profits many times over. so, in my opinion you should not do it.

Base on the transaction history of that address, I might say yes, they might send you the token or maybe no. But seriously, for what reason you will send eth to them? That token seems spam and there's no future of it, it doesn't even have any information on their contract address such website, and social media links -> https://etherscan.io/token/0x05007434B72A5E99348186F45fcd3660917Da683

So I suggest just ignore it, as you've read, airdrop will not require you to send eth to someone so that you will receive the token, it just like a scammy giveaway which is famous in any social media platform such twitter.

I think this is clearly a scam because this project is so closed and also the target of future exchanges with large exchanges so how can the project get money with the results of Airdrop? far from success do not be tempted by airdrops like this if success is too long it will die like the previous project.
Social media and the team do not display on its website. You need to be careful.

Airdrops and giveaways are free, if they are asking you to pay for the airdrops then the guy is trying to scam you by not telling you the truth, they are selling their airdrops or wants crowdfunding distinguishing itself as an airdrop, so better not to fall for it, because they are very deceitful.

Not all projects asking you to send ETH first to receive coins are fraudulent but this project seems as the selfdrop requires you not only to send money first but stresses on completing KYC too to trade the token. The token hasn't been listed yet but promises to be listed in future. The tokens they are sending out are just worth $10. Not worth to do KYC for this amount.

if you need to send eth just to recieve airdrop thats not an airdrop but your are buying thier token in exchange for your ETH.
I dont know about that project but using that method is wrong to have airdrop participants.

I suggest to you not to send any amount just stored your eth in your wallet.

Stay away from it, otherwise you will lose money, just visit the website you will see a Web page and Whitepaper were created carelessly, No information about the founding team. Obviously this is a project created to scam people. At the moment even good projects created by a professional team are not necessarily profitable, it would be foolish to send money to the creators of this project.

This is a new tactic to rip off some eth. I have seen such things one time earlier. The project owner ask for little amount of ETH for sending some shitcoins. This little amount from a large amount of people get a good amount at the end.
So, this is a pure scam. As I always say, "altcoin market is more complex than anyone can imagine. You will be scammed but you never will realize that you have been scammed."

Whenever an Airdrop campaign asks ETH for a gas fee or for others reason, ignore that Airdrop at the first stage. When I was new, I sent ETH to many airdrop campaigns and got nothing worthy except scam. So, from my experience, I am suggesting you don't even visit on that poor site, and if you are a regular airdrop doer then use a hardware wallet to ensure high security of your wallet!

If you are going to send ETH to an address to receive NLC then its not an airdrop its like buying this NLC.  Not sure if its a legit project though but the way you said it means its not, you already knew how this all work which is why you are asking.

People don't even giveaway their emails just to get an airdrop, forget about that if it asks for ETH. Its 90% scam already.

I don't need to check the information on this project, but for what you're saying, they're asking you to send ETH to them so they can send worthless tokens to you. So obviously this is a scam and worthless project, don't waste your time and money on it. Stay away from it and find other projects better

Airdrop means free tokens worth either $2 or a max $10. If you are being asked to transfer Ethereum in order to avail the airdrop then it is 100 percent scam.

Airdrop are meant to engage or create community regardless of their Fiat value. No one will ask you to pay first to get $2 or $10;worth of tokens.

There is not even a clear profile about this project. Twitter telegram is not listed on its website. I suspect they are doing a scamer by holding an airdrop like this and must first send Ethereum to receive an NLC token.

The point is do not believe in projects like this they know how to move forward after leaving the project after getting a lot of money from the victims.

A bullshit and shoddy project coming from scammers. Their website is so simple and doesn't have too much information about the project, we can easily recognize this is a scam so there's no need to send ETH to them. Projects like this may fool investors in 2017 but now it will completely fail

This is one of the most recent ways of scamming people especially some people that participate in free giveaway and airdrops. They promise you a certain amount of token which will be received if you transferred some ETH to their wallet. Some of you will even lie to you that it is the gas fee that is needed so that is why they asked you to send the ETH. They will accumulate all the participant money and probably send you a token that amount to nothing and sometimes you get nothing so be careful.

I don't see any team that has really complete data from their website, other than that, don't ever send ETH for any airdrop. however, that is too suspicious. there are many scams that require us to send ethereum first, besides, I think this project is not very well known for listing on poloniex.

If an airdrop is asking you to send gas fee in ethereum to receive your tokens then its most likely a scam.And you are saying your friend send it to you then ask him that did get got his tokens or not ensure the legitimacy of the airdrop but from my view its just an old school method of scamming people for few bucks.

If it is mandatory to send something its most likely scam for sure not airdrop

According to their webpage this is 100% scam. There is no team, their whitepaper looks pathetic. It is not even a whitepaper, but a 15 pages of powerpoint presentation. Plus it is unclear what their project is about, it is only said that they have a token.

Be sure this is a cheap scam as airdrops don't require you to send any money to them. Anyone who falls for this kind of scam has not  been reading several previous post on this forum on how to avoid scams. An example is self-airdrop.

It shouldn't be labelled as scam outrightly yet until there's further proof of this accusations. Most big projects request for airdrop participants to make some sort of payment to receive their rewards, this can be a measure to ensure real people joins.

The hand writing on the wall is clear, it is a scam. An airdrop is a free token gotten for performing certain activities in a project whether upcoming or already existing, now why would you pay to receive an Airdrop? I see many of these on Twitter and people who also fall into their trap. Secondly it is not a real project because a real project seeks for funding either through IEO or as the case may be and if there will be an airdrop event, it will be through an appropriate channel and they won't ask for users or participants to send a certain amount of ETH in order to receive their token.

That's a scam.
If someone tells you to send an amount to this "xx" address and I'll send you something you don't even know and has possible no value at all.
Will you send?

Immediately leave if you are required to send funds to a specific wallet to receive rewards. That happens a lot in airdrop bots, mining bots in telegrams, use your logic well. I have also received a 0.5 BTC reward from a bot that requires me to send 50 $ for a fee, which will later be returned along with the reward that I will get. I thought, just reduce my reward for changing fees, it's simple right? but for those who have been hooked with a big prize will certainly do anything, logically paralyzed, only realized if the reward was never sent and the funds sent were never returned.

This is a technique commonly used by scammers. Never transfer anything when they ask your ETH or BTC to claim your rewards. Even if it is not a scam, I think it won't be worth because people usually get a small amount only from airdrop tasks. So, it doesn't make sense for you to transfer them your ETH. What for!!  :D

Making someone to send funds in an address is obviously a scam!

Just a piece of advice I don't think you should entertain this kind of message I think it was just a classic scam message in telegram.
Also your not gonna need to send funds or ETH just to received an airdrop, most of the time it was just a small task you need to complete like liking a page.

Sometimes crypto projects ask people to send some ethereum to cover airdrop sending gas fees and also to filter those people who have some crypto and fight multi-accounts.

that's a scam. Never try to send any amount of ethereum to such an address. I believe if your friend was also wanna scam you too. I just wanna remind you never to try to buy any suspicious coin that even was offered by your friend. So many people are getting fooled even by their close people. That's a scam and you should avoid hearing anything that already offered by your friend.

The first rule of Airdrop is that they are free. This is not an airdrop or it is a scam. If they are calling it airdrop while asking for ethereum then it is suspicious. I'd suggest to keep your distance from this kind of project. Atleast i won't join it.

This is called scam, dont fall foe this, a project asking for money in return of rewards are definitely scam one. Ive been with the forun for so long and I know that this type is a hoax. I hate to say this, but eth network has been used to illegal activity.

This should not be covered by hunters since its freedrop. If its, then its not free anymore.

There are several projects that hold airdrops and require them to send ETH to a certain address (this is the same as buying an ICO token)
Some of them have managed to enter the market, but most of them are scams

Yes, if they are giving airdrop no need for the user to send eth before receiving any of their token.
Also, how do you know that they will be of value in the market later on?
Most of them will be abandoned after their airdrop program as they already got something from the users.

But for me, these are points why I will not trust this project :
-anonymous team
-generic roadmap
-whitepaper is not professionally written, generic content
-no tangible product or service offering
-you can't find any valid reg for the mentioned company
and many more...OP needs to do his research before believing that they will be listed in the mentioned target exchanges.

Hi All,
Thank you so much for all comments of yours. I have a big discussion with my friend. He told me that this is a SELF DROP and BOUNTY so it's different from AIR DROP etc... He show me that the website having links for Telegram, Github, Reddit. And NLC was listed on buzzin.com so it's not scam. Admin from NLC also inform the NLC token will be listed on whitebit exchange soon (15th March) etc... At this time, I have not made any decision to join this event because I think this is scam as all of you  ;D Their preparation is so careless even the spelling and bad presentation.

Isnt it selfdrop? I'm thinking that is more likely that was for. Check the website if its secured and try to find their social check if its just created or has been using other copy paste details. Mostly scam projects were just using and copying legit files and using as their own.

Airdrop is quite different from selfdrop since you need to pay small amount of eth in order to received coins which depend on the rates so definitely this isnt an airdrop.

Agree, it already seems real that it is a scam, I would not believe in a project like this, moreover they only give Airdrop coins. I can only suggest that immediately stay away from Airdrop Like that.

I didn’t join this kind of airdrop that ask for sending ETH.Maybe it is scam,don't send your ETH.I saw many project asked for ETH to cover there trx fee,but if they can't afford trx then how they can develop there coin in future.even In 2018 some airdrops asked for eth to receive airdrop token,few peoples send eth and that airdrop turned to scam.So better not to join any airdrop that ask for ETH.                

Airdrops and giveaways should be free that is how it really works, you are buying their coins and not really giving them to you free, it's very questionable if they ask fee just to unlock those airdrops and give away it's like the other airdrop that ask for the receiver's private keys before they send the airdrop.

again and again  we see shit projects that want to earn money from beginner investors or airdrop hunter. no matter its name selfdrop or airdrop, personally i will not send any eth as they requested. better to use my money to invest in eth or major coins and hold it for long time. its more worthed than we have to send our eth to unknown projects.

From the previous experience, I know this kind of project will ask you to give a little eth. If you give them, you will get their coins. But in the end, you will not find them anymore, anywhere! They will not work on their project, will not give you any updates, neither Telegram or Twitter. So I would say be careful. This kind of project is totally scam.

Airdrop is a free token so why do you have to send eth to be able to receive the token?

Its a scam dont fall for it. They are trying to take advantage you as a newbie, good thing you asked for advice here before making a move.

I see, thank you. A lot of people sent ETH to this shit  :'( And a lot of resources are supporting them to cheat more and more... Here is the Telegram group: https://t.me/NightLightCoin
How to report Telegram and Twitter to stop this scammer?

During this time I often followed Airdrop and when I found a project like that. I will not continue to send ETH to that address. If the project is real, I guess they won't ask you to send ETH.

You should be more cautious and not send your money to projects that are not real. And my suggestion is to better ignore such a project and look for real Airdrop.

Do not transfer any ETH to that address, at first the project is shitcoin or scam because no body know the coin, secondly any one asking to send ETH to an address to claim token can be scam, what happens if after you send and you get nothing back?

The first question you should have asked yourself is, why should I send ETH to get an airdrop of a token which might not worth it? I see it as exchanging ETH for a worthless token all in the name of airdrop, thereby I call it scam and you should be careful of it. Airdrop is a free token, it is not paid for but given to users when they help promote a platform, therefore any airdrop asking for Eth isn't an airdrop rather the creators are only after your ETH and should be overlooked.

I am not familiar with that project, so i cannot say that it is absolutely scam or not. However, airdrop campaigns which demand a certain amount of Ethereum from you, are usually scams. So i think it's not worth taking such a big risk. And i recommend that you stay away from that airdrop campaign.

The project looks legit but the way of getting tokens in airdrop seems like a scam to me, you don't have to send your ethereum in order to get the tokens. Airdrop is a free tokens that you will get.

It could be a sign of the scam because, as far as I know, the airdrops participants don't need to send or transfer any ETH to any address from the project. After all, the teams will send the token to the participants after the program ends. As long as the participants fill the requirement, the token will be sent to their address without transfer some amount of ethereum. So we hope that you don't transfer any amount to them because they will run away after they get your funds in their wallet. Be careful with another project that similar to that one.

Probably, it's a pure scam and just believes in what we say here because once you still listen to your friend that you need to send Ethereum to receive the airdrop trust me, you will gonna end up losing money. Most of the airdrop today are worthless or you can even call as a "sh*tcoin" and have you already join in some telegram channel that's all about airdrop? if not, try it and I guess there is only 10% that you will earn from it. It is my first time to hear that project OP and always do proper research especially if someone wants you to invest in the coin that they suggested to you. Just be aware that there are plenty of scammers that want our money that's why we need to be careful and don't ever trust someone who you just met.

I also agree with all the previous replies here which Airdrop is a free token and sometimes you just need to do a simple task to join.

Just avoid your friend who wants to waste your money on nothing and don't ever try his suggestion about the airdrop or basically, just ignore it.

Yes airdrop is airdrop, it is free and only requires simple tasks such as making an account or posting something about that airdrop but not a chace that an airdrop will require you to send some money first, the moment you experience that drop it for it is a 100% no doubt scam or possibly your friend is the scammer, just keep in mind that airdrop requires you anything except for sending some money other than that it is not an airdrop.

in my opinion it is an airdrop scam program. because the airdrop program only asks for your wallet address and personal data such as the email address only. if they ask for a deposit in advance like that then it can be sure the program is a scam.

I can say that this is just a piece of scam in which you need first to send some ethereum before in order to get the token airdrop and just based on the initial information it is clearly that he/she will just scam you in sending first an ethereum and after that he will just vanished just like nothing happens and the ethereum that you have been send to him will be just nothing and the token airdrop that they have promised will be remain unknown and you will not get it. Just a piece of advice, don't get me wrong just don't trust people who requires to send some ethereum or bitcoin just to claim your token.

If that was a legit airdrop and that will never ask to send even a small amount of ethereum. In another way, it can be done through creating a self airdrop that the users can claim their own token by themselves.
This is a scam airdrop and from his story and i can confirm this trick has already used so many times.

Never heard of Night Light Coin. But, airdrops are supposed to be free coins you receive on your wallets after you register or complete certain task. You don't have to pay anything for it. Either your friends account got hacked and the hacker is trying to scam everyone on his list, or your friend does not know what he is doing. Either way, you should alert your friend about it. Even if you do wish to proceed (which I would strongly advise not to!), make sure you do proper research about the project.

if NCL (Night Light Coin) ask for large amount eth to get an NCL token it is SCAM but if it ask for a small amount eth for gas transaction it is not SCAM

Hey, what are you trying to say? What's your definition for small and large ETH? Imagine demanding for 0.001 ETH and 1000 participants sends to them, that's a full ETH (1 ETH). Gas fee for sending tokens is so cheap and very cheap when sending in batch.
I scanned the wallet address on etherscan (https://etherscan.io/address/0x36afEe66EA8d6a99A9c6c7e676D512eA4A19bC83) and to my suprise, there are incoming transactions of 0.01 ETH which I'm sure that's the amount demanded. We should not let greed take over us because they promise space and moon. Every ETH sent to them counts.

Here is also a telegram channel known to have always shared airdrops like the one OP mentioned. https://t.me/AirdropDetective , the channel is very fond of this and I'm sure it's associated with this scammers and helps in promoting them.

Airdrops are totally free. If you are required to send ETH then you should think twice. There are lots of legit airdrops. Don't be fooled by some old tactics to fool traders and investors.

It'll be easier to tell about that if you were give us more source. And it's depend on that how much ETH they offered you. If they were offer you little amount eth for gas price then may be it's ok other than it's doubt able. I saw that coin in CMC, if they are running an airdrop then you can easily ask their Telegram group Chat 1 (https://t.me/NoLimitCoinNLC2) and Chat 2 (http://slack.nolimitcoin.org/). If you didn't find any announcement there about airdrop then better choice stay away from it.

Please do avoid this kind of activity,

Airdrops should be free, no airdrops that is legit are requiring bounty hunters to pay first. If any of them request every participants to send any amount of eth as a fee to receive the airdrop, don't be fooled and immediately stay your distance away from those kind of airdrop.

Airdrops are free, do not send your ethereum to the address you provided. I have participated in many airdrops before and base on my experience, most of the airdrops that ask everyone to send any payment is a scam. Most of the time, even if you send the amount required and received your airdrop, the token will have no value in the market.

To begin with, any airdrop or bounty that requires you to send them money first before they send you tokens, is a NO, NO.

On no reason, should any project request for eth, private keys or other sensitive stuffs to issue out an airdrop token.

Be careful, whatever form, links and sites at which you get airdrops from.
DYOR

As far as I know if a project has an airdrop they will not ask ETH to give you a token. But there are indeed a number of projects or airdrops which require paying ETH for the token fees but not in large amounts. If the NLC asks for a large amount or whatever it's better you don't send it because after all the airdrop is free.

If it is a token of airdrop, I don't think there is any need to worry as long as we don't provide the private key. If you can register on the exchanger and have a good price, I think it should be grateful and not have to worry about the token being a scam or not. It's different if we invest because we need deep research

What do you mean? You need to send eth before they give you the airdrop? This is a scam for sure. Airdrop are suppose to be free. If they ask something as an exchange for it, this is completely a scam. Do not just give your ETH address to this kind of stuff because there is also a possibility that they can hack you.

Yes, I have also participated in several legitimate airdrop programs, and they did not ask anything from the participants, so we can immediately assess if there is an airdrop program that asks for a number of ETH from the participants, then it is purely SCAM.

agree, many do it like this maybe with the reason for gas payments and so on, but if many participants are tempted then it can be imagined how much is collected from an unnatural method. actually it's simple if there are people who ask for something with a promise to give a new token that is not yet known, of course, certainly a fraud. don't trust gifts by requiring requests to send something, obviously that's fraud.

That's not an airdrop. Its called selfdrop, usually this method has been lurking the forum since then. The process where they set up smart contract for tokens to be sent depends on the eth that you send on their token contract. People should be aware of this and dont be confuse from a giveaway since its a type of crowdfunding activity that involves direct payment and receiving od tokens right away.

These are tricks they use mate, together with a couple of others I would try and list here.
1. Some might plead that you help them withdraw their funds from an exchange platform and they would give you a portion of it (most likely a decent amount to lure you)
2. Others would show you tricks on a Casino platform and how they can make you win. The evidences he/she would show will surely be true but do not fall for this as well, they will take away your money.
3. Some would also tell you that the funds are for gas fees, this is also scam! Ask yourself, which decent project does not have just $100 to use as gas fees in the development of their project.

I would add more as they come in mind, need to hit the road to run some errands for the wife!

You are not participating in IEO or public sale so I wonder why you would think of sending your ETH in exchange for a token, an Airdrop token for that matter, which probably might not be listed nor have any value nor any good thing to offer at all. This is a cheap scam, therefore don't send any ETH rather delete the message because it won't end well. Good airdrops don't require your Eth rather it requires you carrying out some tasks after which you are sent the Airdrop token, so any airdrop asking for payment before sending the token is a scam.

Use your common sense and you will know the answer, first of all what it is an airdrop? And airdrop is when the developers of a project distribute for free their coins to people that support that coin, the keyword here is free, they are asking you for a payment and as such it is not an airdrop anymore, and since they are doing this in an underhanded way most likely this is a scam, so forget about that project and do not send them money or your personal information.

I just created SCAM accusation against NLC Token for plagiarizing whitepaper. Take a look here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5230077.0 and give your opinion.

Thank you so much, there are a lot of people were being cheated by this group (Night Light Coin), the Telegram group is over 26+ members now  :'(

Personally, I think the INEL project is a very good and promising project. Since the project has a lot of information available and you can easily pay or buy tokens of this project. You can also contact the project manager and he will help in any matters related to the purchase of tokens.

Well, if you were to ask me, what I can think and I can say that the project you have said is partially a scam because supposedly an airdrop has no charge and you will not be asked to send any cryptocurrency or amount into any address because an airdrop is a free event for token dissemination wherein you just have to register and sometimes do some sort of requirements to be able to participate into an airdrop event. Well, based on my experience, I haven't encountered any airdrop asking for a participant to sent an amount into an address to be able to take a place in joining an airdrop event. You do really need to be wise and observant most of the time so that you won't be able to fall or get fooled into such schemes that just aim to scam everyone. Better before doing anything on hand, do research or educate yourself to be able to keep yourself ready and alert all the time to avoid such scams.

I believe that the airdrop program is completely free, so if someone asks for a fee or transfers eth for reasons related to gas,
he probably should not send it.
let's start thinking, don't be easily provoked by obscure bait.

I think you already get the right answer from a lot of posters here.
The condition itself looks scammy already, and though I am not fully aware of the project yet, but if I were you, I would stay away in that kind of airdrop.

Usually airdrop are earn free, without money involve, you just need to do a simple task to be eligible.

You are just feeding the scam developers once you pay for that transactions, there's no way that you should pay for anything whenever you are joining the airdrops. Better to keep away and find other projects instead, those who are not asking for anything just the wallet itself and received the value of tokens that they've promise to send you over.

This is obviously a scam, if you are just a newbie without taking any studies of what you are doing that might actually lead to bad things which are losing your money. I can say that you should have knowledge first before taking steps here because one single mistake can lead to the worst situation. There are no such payment when you are joining some airdrops, you should know that sir.  But that mistake must not happen again, we should learn from the mistakes we commit. I advise that you should study first and learn every important information before making decisions.
Indeed, it is really hard to see that scammers are getting what they want. We don't want that to happen, so we should prevent and notice if the particular project is a scam. You can actually notice that you just need to learn how to analyze that. Just study and get yourself ready to the next plan that you have.

You made a big mistake to be honest, how can you send Ethereum to receive a trash token airdrop ? and of course that project is definitely  a scam. But you have nothing to do now, you can't get your ETH back, be careful next time and believe me most of ICO projects are a scam like, 90% in my opinion, also the tokens are not profitable and worthless especially in a long term, stop wasting your time on these trival stuff.

Who are you talking to? Who made the big mistake?
OP never said he sent ETH anywhere, so you obviously got it wrong. Or have you read the original post at all?

Funny things we see everyday, a new token which might not be on any good exchange is asking for Eth in return of their token all in the name of airdrop; my question is between the ETH and their token which is more valuable? I rather stick to my little ETH and giving it out in exchange of a token with no use case at all. I would advise you to stick to your Eth and ignore the airdrop, it is not worth it and it shows the team are looking for whom to rip off.

OMG, Really! If they want ETH to join the Airdrop then It's obviously fake project. Please don't send any single ETH. Airdrop is totally free coin offering.

Airdrop is free. If someone asks you to send ETH to them and receive shit tokens then it is definitely a scam. And you shouldn't send ETH to them because it's a stupid act, just ignore that message and don't care about it.

Airdrops are free and not to be paid for by sending ETH to the devs. Doing this means alot and scam is the first of it. It dosent usually end well.

My friend, this is a very pure scam.  Any airdrop requesting for a certain amount of ETH as a withdrawal fees is created by scammers.  If these scammers raked in for example 0.02 ETH from around 10,000 participants. Isn't that an handsome amount of dollars.  Never give in to any airdrop asking for such.

That is more reason you need to be careful.  No one should ask you to pay something of such, in order to receive the reward for the task you will still do for them.
@FAtFork, that was a good one. At least, their plan has been foiled. I just hope no one fell into their trap.
Had it been it is possible for them to be brought to book, it would have been good.

I think so far there have been many cases like that, they ask you to send the required amount of ethereum and after that if you are lucky then you can withdraw assets but when you are not lucky then you will have difficulty when withdrawing your assets because they are being held by developers for a variety of reasons.

Do not send etherum to anybody or any projects at all. Airdrops are termed free money, which means It is supposed to be a gift or reward to you for a good job done.

If any body or any t project asks you for funds, it is fake
Flee

Always dyor

An airdrop that are asking for eth or any currencies that has a value are scam because your genuine money will be converted only to a shit currencies that has no value. So it is better that you should stay away from it as it is 99% scam and you only have 1% chance that it is real even if it will tell you that you will receive like 300-1000$ in that airdrop in exchange to your 1-10$ in Eth or other currencies that has a value.

Don't fall to this kind of attempt, knowing that scammers are very wise and keep on evolving their tactics every now and then.

If it is n airdrop then asking for eth to receive token in return then it is definitely a scam. As far as I remember legit airdrop is not asking anything in return it is given freely to every participants in the said aridrop. Avoid making any contacts with such projects asking for something in return while they are giving it for free.

I think what is needed is in-depth research about the project. Caution is needed because when market conditions are not good, many people take advantage of the situation and with research, we can identify whether the project is good or not

For the sake of interest, I checked the information in Etherschan at the address of the smart contract of the NLC token - 0x05007434b72a5e99348186f45fcd3660917da683.  To my surprise, I did not see any sources of information about this project.  In any case, I would not send ethereum in order to get a "pig in a poke."  In order to make a profitable investment and get a real asset in return for your money, you first need to really get all the available information about the project and about the possible prospects of these tokens in the future.

It's obviously a fake project. You should go away from this project and you should avoid this type of friend who want to cheat with you.

asking ETH to get the token is very clear scam and avoid airdrops or anything that asks for it. some time ago the bounty who did that was https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5047860.0

see this thread is the same as what happened last year, I once sent my ETH to a project that runs Airdrop, it is small in number, but it makes me feel cautious, I want to say that airdrop is free !, don't let you send ETH to that kind of project

if  send a message by sending a link airdrop something or whatever it is for you to make a deposit into eth address contained on the website or message then it is a scam you should not easily fooled by fraudulent airdrop or whatever it is because it has been often this happens.

Airdrop is free, of you are not comfortable joining an airdrop either if it requires you to send an "X" amount, do KYC, or require complicated task, just skip it. I honestly think that most airdrop nowadays are not worth joining, but I am not saying that there are no good airdrops there anymore.

This is 100% SCAM. Be carefull if someone offer you coin but to claim you must send fee/deposit.
Airdrops is free coin like a Giveaway, if the airdrop need fee to received coin. This is not airdrop.

because it was a exchange project I think it was a scam because it was very strange if the copyright on the exchange originated from 2018 while they registered the domain in 2020, it should be that if the new exchange they had to adjust to the domain because all exchanges were like that, and also the internal exchange was very bad so I guess they really intend to make a scam project.

Classic scam i guess, that is not the appropriate way to doing airdrop.
Airdrop should be free and doesn't requiring any coin to transfer. They will scam you, trust me.
If you transfer coin and get the token, then you are not participating airdrop, you are investing like investors.

many cases like this. sometimes even some fraudsters want to give the money they make, it's just that there are certain reasons for their funds to be withdrawn. because of that, they are looking for victims to send money to them so that the money in their account can be withdrawn. Well, the thing that was delivered today was very similar to something like that. avoid all the things that make you send money first.

Those are free tokens? So why do you need to transfer ETH to them to get those bullshit tokens? Obviously it's a scam and they are trying to steal money from your pocket. If you want to support them then send ETH and get that token, and if you don't want it, you should stay away from them as far as possible.

This is just a trick to make money by cheating people. Many are deceived in this way. We should learn from these things. We have never heard of joining Airdrop with sending ETH. This is a totally fake project.

This is an old scam, so don't be fooled by these scams. When you send ETH to them, your money will definitely disappear and you will receive bullshit tokens. If you want tokens then go here and participate in the bounty, you will receive valuable tokens and can sell them.

Let's go like this, how will you feel, paying your boss a little amount of money in order for him to pay you back your salary? This is just the clear explanation on what they are asking you to do; after promoting the project for them, instead of paying you or sending your reward, you are now required to send ETH to them, you will agree with me that, it doesn't make sense. So in my own opinion, forget about it and don't bother sending any ETH, you will only end up lossing entirely.

No legit project requires you to send money to receive tokens, and your friend calls it an airdrop? That is not an airdrop, they just take advantage of it to steal your money. Stay away from projects that require deposits to receive tokens. Those are bullshit projects and will never make you profit

Yes, these are just scams and it can only fool new entrants into this market. If a project requires us to send some ETH to unlock or receive their tokens, it is definitely shady and we need to stay away.
