Situation: Crap Coin is holding an ICO for 2 months at $0.30 per token with 100,000,000 CRAP total token supply and 70% of it will be allocated to the ICO sale. 1% of the total token supply was allocated for the airdrop participants. The ICO was conducted a month later after the airdrop event.

Note: CRAP Coin doesn't really exist, this is just a funny example.

Crap admin: 10,000 participants who complete the airdrop tasks will receive 100 CRAP worth $30.
Crap participant: I'll better hurry up and complete these tasks!

After 2 weeks of airdrop event......

Crap admin: We have finished our airdrop event! Thank you all for participating. We will announce on the following week on how you're going to receive your airdrop.
Crap participant: Oh yes! Can't wait to receive my airdrop! Woohoo!

A week later.......

Crap admin: I was informed lately by the management that all airdrop participants are required to complete a mandatory KYC. You need to sign up an account and complete your KYC.
Crap participant: Oh crap! I guess I have no choice but to comply. Admin, may I know when will I receive the CRAP tokens after completing the KYC?
Crap admin: Stay tuned for our official announcement from the core team. I'll confirm it from them. Have patience mate!
Crap participant: Okay admin, I will wait for the team's response.

A week later.......

Crap admin: The core team responded to me that your airdrop will go straight to your account dashboard after ICO was finished. Make sure you add your ERC20 address in the settings. The ICO will start next week.
Crap participant: It looks like I have to wait for a long while before I can finally receive the airdrop as promised.
Crap admin: But we have some good news for all of you! If we reached soft cap, we are going to list CRAP in BullCrap Exchange and distribute the airdrop a week after that!
Crap participant: OMG! OMG! I’m excited for this CRAP! To the moon baby!

After 2 months of ICO.....

Crap admin: Our ICO is finally finished. However, I would regret to inform you all that we have failed to reached the targeted soft cap.
Crap participant: So what does it mean?
Crap admin: It means that since our ICO has failed, we will not distribute the airdrop tokens as it will have no value. We are also going to refund our investors soon. Thank you for participating.
Crap participant: Jesus! I’m just stupid enough to participate in a project that is full of CRAP!

(Crap admins disbanded the Telegram group and shut down the website with a South Park meme saying “AAAAAND IT’S GONE!”)

Who can hardly relate to this situation guys? Trust me, I’ve been there a few times already!

Haha, funny story and for sure many will relate to this. That funny meme at the end is for real.  :D
This is the reality in airdrops and ICOs. They'll get that information and data of those who have passed the KYC for their crap token. And suddenly, there's no actual value and they have all the means to use those IDs that were sent to them in anything that they want.
Airdrop people should learn that never send KYC just for these tokens.

Lol, very funny, but honestly I still join airdrops till date and I don't depend on any, I just join for fun of it but judging from my experience some airdrops did surprised me and some performed worse just like I expected, since we can't read the future it won't hurt to try.

A lot of people here can actually relate to this. I also experienced this kind of situation a lot, especially when the airdrop suddenly require their participants to have kyc. Since I don't do kyc, I will just leave the airdrop and find another one. I always have the same scenario every time I participated in any kind of airdrops.

KYC for airdrops? That's too much for me, I don't even join bounties that requires KYC not to talk of airdrops, the reward will be low that's certain, giving up KYC in bounties is better than airdrops

Ive once experienced these kind of situation before, its funny actually how we joined shitcoin projects and rant over the distribution or payment and suddenly the project failed of course dissapointment will turn into anger and we cant control saying things on these people (admin) but at the end of the day, we will realize its our fault to join airdrop and bounty without doing a good due diligence. Anyway I had enough of my past and will never got fooled again.

It never happens to me and will not likely happen because I shun KYC, even in bounty hunters, more so on airdrop because I already know that some of these developers only want the sensitive information of people and they are using airdrops to victimize people, people should be care, giving their sensitive data to unknown developers and unknown people.

:D this has been the problem of bounty hunters, they are too desperate for anything under the sun and forget the disadvantage of their actions. Were on earth would you expect someone to complete KYC for airdrop? Hope nobody has already fall victim to this scammers pretending to be project admin?. Personally, I shun anything that ask for my KYC online because of my identity. We'll have a responsibility of protecting our identities, don't be negligence to this.

I think I have been a victim of this but I don't think I will fall any more,once I see kyc and for airdrop especially,I would just ignore,gone are the early beginning when we do every kyc yet no pay,and these days it's good to go some research go know if the airdrop or bounty is worth it before all the waste of time.

I've been hunting for airdrops for over a year now and I can say that airdrops that ask for KYC hardly paid, it come to a time that I stop participating in KYC airdrops, to me its not worth it, there are better standalone airdrops that doesn't require KYC

The problem is that too many people thinks that free money exists for real!

Actually it exists but people are too gullible to follow those easy steps that they are giving. And after all of those years where most of the free money was reliable but this time, it's not anymore.
It's bad that many of them still believe with ico airdrops and only take their identities for the sake of not valuable tokens. They are also adding disappointment to those people if the project fails, they will get nothing.

I suppose everybody who has ever participated in airdrops of different projects faced to this situation. Most projects just die before airdrop payments or they don`t want to pay tokens and try to find excuse to delay distribution. I think airdrops is really bad way of marketing for projects and earning for common users and it doesn`t work now

I agree, sometimes we can do aridrop as entertainment, but there are some aridrop that actually pay you a small amount.
Of course I won't do KYC for any aridrop, even I will try to stay away from bonus programs that require KYC.

I think KYC in the bonus is not better than KYC in aridrop. Many bonus programs require KYCs with winged promises, but people end up receiving a pile of rubbish.

that's the first reason why I stopped participating in the airdrops campaign, because most of them were just bullshit. especially with airdrops that require participants to pay or complete KYC tasks. this will only irritate you.

it might also seem like a funny story but it is a fact that is repeated for many airdrops first asking for personal data, kyc procedure and then disappearing without releasing anything, one must be careful and inquire first about who proposes these airdrops...

Great story... and yes, I think that most of us can relate to this in one way or another, the crypto world is full of CRAP unfortunately...
I never go through kyc for bounties or airdrops, personal information is something that should be taken serious, people spread it around too easily...
As for the airdrops, even if they are legit, they usually have no value... but it doesn't hurt to get a free drop every onece in a while...

Some Airdrops aren't real, they are run by scammers who only want to get their hands on your I.D through asking for KYC verification, once they get hold of your I.D it's good buy, they will make money out of your I.D and sell them off

Well, that situation is really true. Lot of people who already experienced that. Not only for those airdrop hunters but also those bounty hunters who really work hard just to get those rewards, like joining in a social media campaigns, creating some blog or articles, creating promotion videos, or translation.
Well, those kinds of work are much sick compare to some airdroppers who only fill out the form and wait.

Airdrops are always a crap after 2017 hypes. A common thing to happen is that when you ask questions about distribution and any queries admin will shut you down. The stupidity thing is that we ought to trust these crap things and think we gonna receive some even waiting for a long time but that was unfortunate enough that instead to have their explanation they simply ignore us and never answer.

That it makes no reason to participate airdrops even it looks legit, because things like this will always be possible to happen again and again. Broken promises are somewhat to heard.

I like the way you highlighted the events. This has happened so many times in the regular ICO era and there is nothing airdropers can do than to move on. At least the percentage of this kind of event is small compared to the ones that would pay. But this IEO dosent have those kind of challenges but now it's a very hard work to see a better pay.

Aside from wasting your time and resources doing all the tasks required, some airdrops require their participants to submit KYC docs like tempting them to submit by offering like $20-30 worth of their tokens. So not only your effort is wasted but your identity is compromised if you believe their promises. That is, bounty hunters should really be careful in those attractive offers. I don't think it is reasonable to submit your personal info for just mere few bucks and without assurance that you will really receive it. I hope users will stop joining these airdrops or these crap bounty programs so these scumbags will stop screwing them.

This is how most airdrops look, OP did a good job. It reads like a joke but for many people it's the hell they have to go through before they finally learn .

I can add that the KYC you provide will be used to register scam accounts at other sites and receive some bonuses for completing KYC there. You're literally making money for them by advertising their shitcoin and then again by completing KYC.

I really enjoyed the writing, from beginning to end.
And the situation that the OP said is actually often felt by me, had done KYC and in the end they disappeared and did not pay. What is regrettable is not the non-payment, but the person who did the KYC. Because we do KYC without the slightest value.

Quite a nice and insightful narative you drafted out which I'm sure everyone will understand perfectly. This type of scam exist is the latest scam format crypto projects are using of recent, KINGCASINO pull up a similar thing today announcing that they are scam and they've already achieve their aim by scamming everyone involve in this project after claiming to have raised $20m+ during the token sales

This is intimately transparent upon their revelations towards being proud of what they've raised. That's the proof of how rampant the scammers exposed themselves, since being anonymous in crypto is highly abused by these evil doers. Projects that involves a huge amount of money, victimized innocent people and I believed they've learned a serious lessons out of their lost.

It's really saddening for everyone that invested, promote as well play games on their platform. I knew about the project but was skeptical to get involve with them due to the fact that the claimed amount they raised was quite too massive for a project without a reputable team. I think people needs to do more of research works on te's credibility before investing either cash, time and effort

I was relate on this when I was an airdroper always had no value in return even if they have huge amount of fund that they raised they are going to say that their ICO was not successful and they will not return the investment of every person who invested on their project they easily run.

I can only smile reading your story in the opening post, that's what most of the airdrop hunters experienced in this forum.
Indeed this is the reason why airdrops cannot be relied upon as a source of income. And also this is a learning for us all
that never send KYC for airdrops, whose tokens price are not necessarily high. Even 90% of the airdrops that I follow
only give shitcoins.

I felt stupid when I experienced this once. All the hardworks, time and efforts just wasted because it ended up failed. The project seems to just fundraised money and then decided to end it without thinking that the participants make some efforts to the given tasks for the sake of the rewards.
 
 Well, another project that I experienced was the time where in they postponed the giving out rewards to us like it took almost a year before we received it and funny that we have waited that long to just received small amount of money. Sad but most of them are not legit.

I can hardly relate to such situations, because I haven't been participating in any bounties and airdrops ever since they stopped being worth the time you put in them. And back in those days KYC was unheard of, but today's bounty hunters are so happy to sell their personal information for a tiny chance of receiving $5. That's just sad.

I know that and it's ever happened with me too. I have been seeing so many scam projects have not been informing the airdroppers about such a condition. They will tell if they were getting failed to reach the soft cap after everything has already ended. 

Something funny but all is true and sometimes we become fools who still want to follow the team without thinking about anything else. In the past year I joined the project and until now I have not been paid even though the token has been listed in a big market with good price, that cool right. I know its hurt, but we just need to move on.

That was really a good read and yeah I have to agree that that's what happens almost with all the airdrops. Most of them are fake, some of them fail to reach softcap etc. I do not participate in airdrop now, have an experience with a project who did the same with its participants. I was the telegram moderator although.

people who do that are participants who never think long and don't care about their ID or maybe they use the IDs of people around to do KYC, all will be done to get $5 :D

Admin: Distribution commence next week
Participants: Good to hear that

after a week:
participant: Thank you team, I already receive the reward. When listing?
Admin: Soon...

Things usually we heard about bounty and airdrop. Totally a waste of time and a lot of broken promises. That been hopeless to have airdrops this time, even we have them but it only stuck in our wallet with $0 in value and we don't know if the project had doing it hard to get listed or it just leaves like that forever. In fact, most of them are abandoned already.

This is very funny and relatable. Exactly the experience of every bounty/airdrop participants. Some would send tokens but won't worth something at the end of the day. Some don't care about what the reward worth, they would submit their ID for any amount. And don't know some of this projects sells KYC to dark web.
The only way forward is if bounty hunters refuses to give their personal details out. I've seen where hunters unite together to oppose an agenda of a project.

I read this tread, it seems like I've been in that story, HAHA ;D. this story is very original but only uses the pseudonym wkwk ;D. This is a lesson for airdrop hunters so that they do not expect too much from the project they are taking part in, because there are indeed many targets that must be achieved by each project. but we must not be discouraged because 4 out of 9 new projects have the potential for investment.

This is ridiculous if someone gives ID documents just to get $ 5 from Airdrop, if someone doesn't value the KYC document and wants to give it to anyone, then he will be very easily deceived by anyone.

If we see that you need to pass KYC to get tokens, you need to stay away from such an ICO as far as possible. In those bounties and airdrops, where the mandatory condition for obtaining tokens was KYC, they ended badly. You need to remember that no tokens are worth giving out your documents to scammers.

Well; it has been over a year now that airdrop has been jokes and nothing to write home about; and this is one reason why theres is need to get acts together, research well before joining any endeavours at all. If you wanna use bounty as a last resort, i inform you that bounty campaigns are also faulting when it comes to payment of work done; while some slash rewards beyond low imagination. Try to deviate to trading; but let the process first.

Well I think that would be enough to make some bounty hunters feeding these teams with fake promises.
That's kinda disappointing actually.
Keeping your head up til the end of ICO but failing the promise in the end.
Good thing I didn't join many of them and I am already over from my fear that some teams or third party would attempt to trap you in their box and trying to bait you into their phishing MEW site.

During 2018-2019, I almost got it several times, but I was in a bounty campaign, more precisely a signature campaign. the scheme is almost the same, ie the bounty runs smoothly, then after it's done the admin will make an important announcement regarding the distribution. there are several versions after this, the first:
-Token really sent, and is on the listing, but the price is very low, even under 0.0000001eth per token
-The second token was sent but never on the exchange list.
-three there is no movement at all, but in the telegram group they still say "we are working hard"

we can conclude that the good at the beginning, will not necessarily end perfectly. and at the end of the day the bounty is not going very well. so keep trying and the time will definitely come.

What process should we allow? I think everyone here is definitely making research and efforts so that they are not always fooled by the efforts of the scammer, because I am sure that bounty participants and Airdrop participants have been fooled by scammers even if only once.

everyone should be able to learn from the experiences they experienced when participating in an airdrop campaign. some are still making money, so there are still many surviving airdrop hunters.

It is likely they have a survival instinct than the others.

It for sure everyone had a bad experience in airdrops and even in participating bounty program, but nothing more shit than airdrops. Indeed, they are free and nothing to expect money from token. Should have the company will do that for free? Surely not.

When airdrop? When listing? I just waste my time in participating this... Things we heard in the telegram group but there is nothing to do with that, it all just a waste.

Yes, indeed some campaigns and Airdrop still make money, but only a few dollars, because the allocation for the campaign and the Airdrop on average is very little given by the project team.

5$ is too much compared to the current airdrop, I see a lot of airdrops only from 1-2 $ but they still require KYC participants to be able to receive that amount. And I'm also really funny that there are still so many people involved and selling their info cheap

1 to 2 dollars for real ? no i dont think its a fix value but that is only written on the airdrop page but after some time or the coin has been listed the value can change too. it can go lower  than 1 dollars but if we are really lucky the value can start small and pump 10 to 20 times later on like what happen on the previous airdrops that i joined . thats the reason why people taking risk and they risk even thier sensitive datas .

The best airdrop season has come to an end since 2017, only very few new projects that are well recognized in crypto space are reliable that is if they introduce airdrop Campaign like how Wazirx and Origin protocol did weeks ago, as for KYC requirements it's really not worth it because Airdrop rewards aren't always that much

In 2017-2018 I received a lot of money from airdrops without having to KYC. Just like and share their tweets is enough, but now it's too hard for us to find those airdrops again. The collapsed market has made everythings much harder than before

This story ain't funny bruh, I have had my heart broken many times I wont lie. The last time this happened, it wasnt even a genuine reason like we couldn't reach target, it was pure scam, the crap admin blocked everyone from posting on the group, deleted his account and shut down website.
To think that I woke up everyday with excitement of so called "future price".
CRAP!!!

Before long bearish, I only thought that those who had the opportunity to be scammed is investors, but after all this, I realized that bounty hunters / airdropers were also targeted. We just help promote their projects and we get nothing. Sad thing but we need move on. Cryptocurrency is full of risk.

sending KYC for penny money was very unworthed at all. our personal document was very secure and must nor shared to everyone. we know there are many misuse that did by scammer. in some countries personal data could used for money lending in fintech , and when it happen to us in future we will get huge risk. this story really happen in crypto market and many airdrop hunter send their document for penny.

Dude, there so many people were not even considering their KYC have value. AFAIK so many times the scam projects have been deceived those people and their KYC have been getting stolen by the scammers. People this day think about how much they can get even if that was a few pennies only

If the bounty or airdrop suddenly require the participants to comply on kyc to get the tokens think carefully if its worth it.

You will wait longer for nothing hoping to get the rewards promised by the admin but unfortunately its not going to happen.

We have such experience and I think most of us can relate. Learn from that experience and dont believe easily to their promises.

I have faced this situation many times that i no longer care of airdrops, utter waste of time.

True! I used to focus on airdrop and bounty as a way to earn money. However, I think it isn't worthy if we have to do a lot of works for such a small amount of money. Now, I only follow trustful and "well-reward" bounty campaigns. I don't care about airdrops anymore. I think we should be wise and careful when we participate in these projects because there is no guarantee!

as with some people who posted when they followed the airdrop and made a list in the book, I saw more than 40 types of airdrops that he followed for almost 2 months maybe (I don't know for sure), and said none of them could be made into money, maybe he will produce results in the next job who knows right?
as long as he is consistent and continues to do so he will get the results later.

Talking about 2017, you could drop anything dumb and it would have made money so no,,, this did not make it a good project at all. The good projects have always been the same: services that were running and had products with a community of users. They paid basically the same in 2017 and today. Stable, real, valid.

I think only a few airdrops look good and I think in the beginning it will be difficult to see that airdrops are scam or not even if they provide airdrops then the price will not be worth your identity that can be sold more expensive than what they provide. be careful when giving up your identity just for the sake of participating in an untrusted airdrop.

Not all people here has not greed and fool to let themselves be a victim for multiple times even they have already
 experienced these kind of scenario over and over again.

The sad part here is after sending KYC the scammers will sell your details to 3rd party team to use for whatever they need.

So the ending?Airdroppers had been fooled twice,First for participating without payments and second for being stupid sending their KYC.

Even its a legit project we should be aware that giving off information is still dangerous. As long as we have copy of our data in their database we dont know whether they are selling those data to someone private company and we even dont know that. Airdrop or bounty we should consider this sensitive information all the time cause it may ruin us in the future.

I'm only against KYC because identities or anything that's related to your personal information isn't always safe online, this is why I find it very hard to trust any project or even exchanges with my KYC information, I don't join bounties that ask for KYC and I've joined some who later forced KYC requirements on participants then I fortified my rewards, as for airdrops is a big no for me

I would never have participated in an airdrop if they asked for KYC. I never sell my information for a few cents at a time, it's too dangerous and we might get in trouble in the future.

Only newbies won't be able to relate this, have been there many times, have been used by projects many times, many reward dead right on Spreadsheet, this is not only happening to Airdropers, happening to bounty hunters aswell. I just hope all projects start seeing reasons to always pay hunters for their hard labor.

Airdrop and bounty these days are really the worst I have seen so far. Maybe it was because the pandemic so not so many good projects anymore so no baller to spend big at airdrop and bounty to promotion. Feel like paying lottery but the chance to win is nearly zero.
Smart, you will never know what they would do to your KYC. The worst nightmare that they use your KYC to register for fraudulent activity. Never sell your KYC for a penny.

Tiring scenario, right?
Initially, there were no complicated requirements, only simple tasks related to social media such as share, retweet, and so on. However, before the distribution there was a change of conditions, for example, KYC, this was really disappointing.
This is a scenario that happens so often, I came to think that this was indeed planned. The cheating dev team only uses a lot of people to spread their projects on social media without wanting to reward them properly. Supposedly, if it is committed to providing appropriate compensation, KYC information can be written from the beginning. Full of alibis, that's why I don't join airdrops like that. I only join airdrop held by trusted top exchanges or projects, as is often done by Upbit and Binance.

Finally, I joined an airdrop with an estimate of more than 30 $ per participant, which applies to all participants who join. However, before the distribution, the rules changed and it was said that only a few hundred participants were getting the reward, and even then after making a number of deposits, really annoying.

I laughed so hard after reading the funny narrative by OP. When airdrops were still booming, I do any airdrop that comes my way notwithstanding, after an airdrop which looked shitty paid my friend and I was left out. After so many trials, it dawned on me that I was clearly wasting my time. Even though I can still participate in very few airdrops presently if I analyze and think it's worth it. KYC is one deterrent, especially when it is unexpected at the end of airdrop.

Very funny but this happens a lot, I did one bounty then,time for payment they brought issue of kyc at that moment I had the feeling they weren't going to pay but I tried giving it an attempt did kyc and everything require for months the team kept postponing date of distribution at some point they started removing people they feel would cause trouble,it dawned on me that it was the end.

There's no guarantee so we should not rely on airdrops or bounties because chances are slim to earn due to number of scam projects. Its best to have another source of income that can give you stable earnings, then join in bounties as your sideline. That way you can maximize your earnings and if ever you encounter a scam project again it wont hurt that much since you have other source of earnings to count on.

Well said. Joining airdrops or any bounty projects might offer us good profits but we have no guarantees if they will stick to their promises. Our efforts and hardworks will just be wasted if we fully rely our source of living from these kind of projects. It's better to start up another business that will surely give us profits even just a little amount atleast we all know that its real. Airdrops and bounty projects are just good for sidelines only.

I myself do had experience back in the past but in my part when the time comes that airdrops do ask out KYC then i do directly put it on ignore and move to another one.

I remember when the time i had involved on airdrops is on the time where ICO is still hyping up back into the years and it turns out to be a shit afterwards when

the entire market turns out to be a shit one where projects becomes scam most of the time.Theres no point on wasting up your time with these things.

It's painful reality about airdrops and ICO / IEO projects, we expect distribution for several months. After receive it turns out
tokens that are obtained are not valuable, even some tokens can not be sold at all. Even so, there are still many people participated 
airdrops and bounty campaigns, because actually bounty hunters still believe the events of 2017/2018 will be repeated again. Where
at that time really big results were obtained from airdrops and bounty projects. Hopefully it can be repeated again if Bitcoin can return
to the price of All Time High.

I don't trust those crap tokens or airdrops that would require some personal information's.
Whenever I participated an airdrop that would involve a KYC I would just walk away from them no matter how much they promise to give out on their participants.
I don't think that it would really be worth it to sell our personal information for it.

I found out that there are still a lot of persons who are being attracted or interested on joining in airdrops, there are no hard feelings but for me majority of airdrops nowadays are scam so we should not focus on it. Of course people want free money but they do not know that there are consequences that may get if they keep focusing to get free money. We can become a weak investor or person if we will not use our mind, airdrop before is good but now it is just a waste of time and effort.

Hahaha lol, yeah this thing happen to me 2 years ago when i participated in airdrop, they asking KYC bla bla, and after that the project is scam and they change the group name. After that i carefuly to choose airdrop that i want to participated, if they asking KYC i will give it up especially in new projects.

LOL so true! I have been in the same situation. I have to admit that bounty campaigns and airdrops back in 2017 is a good way to earn money. It's not anymore. Now, I carefully choose which bounty campaign and which airdrop to join in because I don't wanna waste my time on a shit project. Especially with airdrop, whenever they ask me to do KYC, I quit immediately without thinking. It's most likely to be a scam project.

I stop doing KYC for Airdrops because it doesn't make any sense, almost all the Airdrops that requested for KYC don't pay me, Airdrops are still good if you know how to choose the good projects but they are unreliable

There are also few reliable Airdrop sources that open door to Airdrop hunters with verified Airdrop projects only, for example airdropalert and airdropbob, these two exchanges are the best, I rated the two website 90✓ because payments are certain

Some Airdrops are scam, all they want is your I.D so they can sell off on deep web or to others who need them, identity theft is very common now, a fast way to make money as a criminal, one Identity can cost 5$ to 10$, do not give up your identity for airdrops

I have joined many Airdrops since 2017 and many failed me, some just don't work out and some turned scam but some still pays, it's just that giving out your identity is very dangerous right now, I don't fear real world criminals but online criminals? They are more capable, one can get into serious problem if your identity is been used illegally

I personally no longer participate in airdrop campaign that requires kyc because of the past experience I've had. Most times, the reward doesn't not always worth the time spent on doing the tasks 

The airdrops are worth it back on 2017 but now, majority of it can be considered as worthless and scam. Why do I say it?  There are now a lot of data available through internet that most of the airdrops nowadays are scam and it is probably a waste of time if you will try to join. There are also a lot of airdrop that are focusing to get information and not to give altcoins, there is a news before that a certain project are getting information from the public and selling it to dark web. We should be careful especially if we are joining airdrops that requires KYC.

Almost all Airdrops are scam, don't bother relying on them, but there are big projects in crypto space that still use Airdrops to create awareness for their projects, origin protocol did the same in February 2020, watch out for this type of popular projects doing Airdrops, it's certainty that things can't go wrong

hahaha, scammers have many ways to get everyone's ID which may then be used for future crimes. For that, don't ever give any ID to the airdrop for only $ 5 to $ 10.

It also happens on bounty campaign. If the project delayed the distribution 2 times you can called it scam project. There is also another situation like the team delayed the distribution while the price is goes down to rabbit hole.

for that I have never joined airdrop because it is proven that if most of them will end up scam, so if you really want to join airdrop then choose airdrop which has a bounty and token campaign already list on exchange

Few Airdrops that request KYC are legit but there is no way to know what the team will do with the KYC details later on, can be sold for money to other third parties, I'm so against KYC verifications but can't outrun them, the best exchanges in crypto space are all centralized

That is me or im just dreaming in my bed :).
%90 of ico's working like this its really hard to find a good one.
-Follow us on twitter,facebook,instagram,youtube,telegram , bla bla
+Ok i will but what will you give me ?
-We will give you craps it worth 1 $ per token.
+Omg im doing it right now.
A few movements later...
-U got scammed boiiiii....

I used to support KYC verifications because they just make things easier, you don't have to worry about limits on withdrawal on exchanges but I was wrong, giving up your identity card is way too risky beyond your imagination, there are many bad things that criminals can use your identity cards for

1. If you have no problem with 10 Airdrops paying you few dollars out of 100 Airdrops you joined then no problem

2. If you have no problem with getting your identity stolen to run illegal stuffs online then you have no problem with Airdrops asking for KYC verifications too

Honestly the choice is simply yours to make

You just waste your time and identify if you participated in the airdrop campaign. So many times people were only getting a very small money and it can't even be used to buy a hotdog.
People must stop try to join in the airdrop that offers nothing.

a good and better choice at the moment is just following bounty campaign considering the reward obtained from bounty campaign I see are still good compared to airdrop, and for airdrop itself currently most of the benefits are a site or channel owner who have a lot of followers and they can get quite legit reward from airdrop with a referral system.

Yea bounty Campaigns are better but airdrops are faster to join and get over it, as for bounties you have to wait more than a month to get your payment and that's even if it ever arrived in your wallet, I recommend joining both, sometimes Airdrops are better

People are making Airdrops look like a complete scam buy it's a lie, not all Airdrops are scam, some legit projects still use Airdrops to send out news about their Projects and make people test them out, Airdrops still works but stay away from KYC Airdrops

These days there are still many airdrop spreading even in social media and a lot we're still joining. That's true not all are scam because I observe these days some of them are legit but you need to do kyc. Even when I’ m newbie before in crypto I once a victim of scam AirDrop and passed kcyc just to get the coin yet ended up worth nothing. So a lesson learned to many to be careful when you joined.

Good lesson to share, before you go and provide your personal information better to make sure that you really trust the team
who are conducting the airdrops. It's really awful catching yourself being victimized.
Scammers can easily used your information to scam more people or just sell it out who knows what will happen after. Know
everything and take things according to how you really trust the team.

The KYC part is the reason why I will never join any Airdrop asking for it unless the project is a new exchange which will surely need KYC to control illegal money, coinsbit exchange Airdrop for example was the last one I joined last which was bit better, I earned 10$ from the exchange and I still trade coins on the exchange till today
