etherdoge was a scam... the scammers distributed the airdrop to ethereum wallets but put a lock on the tokens so that they could not be sent.
if folks tried to send tokens, the transaction would fail and the user would still be charged gas
meanwhile, the devs liquidated a whole bunch on etherdelta to unsuspecting buyers

Methods? Not sure about that. All of those who are using google forms for airdrops are maybe scams. If they are that legit they can add an airdrop option on their site. BUT there are many established tokens/alts who are having airdrops because of the support of it's members/holders. I suggest just beware on what information you are putting on those forms cause that can be used against you. Also if the token name is really shitty and their ANN is underdeveloped without it's website I strongly suggest just get rid of it.

what is the best method to know SCAM [AIRDROPs] PROJECT Know the purpose of the project usually scam airdrop only has a standard purpose such as ==> Bitcoin on Ethereum, Litecoin on Ethereum or Other Avoid Airdrop that require donations! Airdrop scams usually require donations from participants and it has violated the notion of Airdrop no, its not. airdrops which requires donation are not all scam. the main reason why they are doing that is to avoid cheater or the ones who abuse the airdrop because of multiple claims. though some are requires you hold a certain amount of eth on your wallet in order for them to send the coin without charges or fees , in short your going to shoulder the transaction fees. @op i dont really understand your question. do you mean your going to scam an airdrop project? no, you cant scam them rather they can scam you.

Might sound crazy, but this is how I gauge scam airdrops. I ask them, straight up. Then I don't pay any attention to what their answer is. I pay attention to how they answer. Are scam airdrops really the problem though? They are, (cue random statistic) 98.6% of them anyway, going to be future shitcoins. So don't give them your money, they have plenty, from the 60% owners share. Get your free tokens and bounce out. close the damn Telegram group, unfollow their twitter and facebook, then sell the shit out of that shitcoin. Rinse. Repeat. Happy.

what is the best method to know SCAM [AIRDROPs] PROJECT almost all of them is scam and just want to take money from investors thats why they created a token . i suggest not to invest in any of them if you are investors try to find a legit project. How airdrop can be scam? You say "they want to take money from investors" but airdrops are free as far as I know. Something what comes for free can't really be scam. ICO can be scam but that is something else.

what is the best method to know SCAM [AIRDROPs] PROJECT There are lots of Airdrop who are currently running nowadays, but it is very rare to find one who are legit. There are ways to determine whether a Airdrop is a scam or legit.. These is what i know I may say it is a scam if there are requiring you to send your Private Keys, by these you really are sure it is a scammed. They are representing unknown and an unbelievable Tokens, these are just taking all your personal information and use this basic information to scam you. If they are also requiring you to send any private information such password and keys.

Cool approach to the issue. I'm interesting in how much time you spend for this kind of airdrop testing and what is the financial result.

what is the best method to know SCAM [AIRDROPs] PROJECT First is they ask for payment or donations. They don't have a website, whitepaper and roadmap. Their thread looks crap and the most noticeable thing that those scam airdrops has is they use the name of a popular coin and add another name to it like colors.

Asking for details that you mustn't give or mustn't be asked. These airdrops are also being used by scammers to make people believe that they will receive free tokens/coins. To know if they are scam is up to your deepness on how you will study about that scam, if you know notice that some are not asking for ETH address and only asking for email address and when that happened to you then doubt them.

beware when you are clicking a link within their OP some of them are scam, it like a virus. just remember if they are asking for some donation, just think always before giving it to them. there are newbies that are disguising using airdrop for donation or other form of scam. be careful always in joining or participating airdrops.

In some AIRDROPs there is a line "enter your private key" ... It's always been wondering if there are people who are being led to this deception

It's always been wondering if there are people who are being led to this deception that is likely to be a scam or phising attempt to steal your coins and balance in your wallet. always remember airdrops or any other giveaways and bounties dont requires you to input or expose your private keys publically because rather they only need your public address or wallet address to be able for you to recieve your coins/tokens if your qualified for them. and yes majority of people especially newbies are always getting fall from this trap and they are always ended up getting hacked.
