Sorry but all airdrops are totally shit for me, because most of the member for a couple of months ago actually there are many of them that has been hacked their account to their mew, because of giving their information in joining in any form of airdrops programs by the information to their applicants like private key and eth address and email.

That's an obvious way of scamming airdroppers and I don't know if someone will still fall with this scheme. Those newbies must not take part of it and should be warned about those scam airdrops. They are the most vulnerable people that will not aware if airdrops are asking these things. Most of airdrops too are just collecting information materials so I don't try on it anymore.

to be honest i think more than fifty percent of the airdrops that i participated in are scams but if the form of the airdrops asked you for your wallet key than beware this is definitely a hacking attempt.

Even if they don't ask for anything particular. They will get your personnal data and use it against you. It will be very hard to detect. If they don't launch their token it's clearly a sign that they just want your data. But there is so many airdrop, you have to subscribe a lot to earn a little bit.

How much is your personal information worth?  Email, IP address public wallet addresses, social media accounts etc.  They may ask you to download software which may contain malware.  I have participated in the past.  I am much more wary now.

And you are not still learning from it? Take it that most of them will just do the same thing. Don't just join if you feel suspicious and you had seen some irregularity about the airdrop, those standards that you had set shall be seen on them and if not, just jump to another one or much better is don't join any of them anymore so that you can be far from being hacked. Those hacking problems that their balance was gone probably is due to this.

We're are just wondering why we should give them a donation, in fact they will give us free coins. Or in the other hand, why they should need our donations when they have a lot of convertible coins in their wallet. With this, mostly people will accused that certain airdrop is a scam. But not only with that scenario, because some airdrops is hardly to find which one is legit or not until we've been involve with them. So, it is better if we really not engage more on airdrop.

Always been tell here that you must be aware interms of your private key cause the scam airdrop that was their strategy for so better to be alert and some are doing stupid thing also that what some airdrop been ask for is address but they give they key the awareness is always start for the one who uses it for how careful they are.

[darklighter007]

The two major attributes of scam Airdrops have already been mentioned which are;

• They ask for compulsory donations.
• And secondly, they request for your private key.

And some of them go as far as asking you to carry out outrageous task such following them on multiple social medias and sharing multiple post. Some Airdrops are legit. But one must really tread carefully to avoid falling victims to those shams.

[Sarastiche]

Some are out to just get crowd to there telegram and other social media platform,just emsure you fill the airdrop with caution

Never took part in airdrops. I dont really trust any of these.

Not all airdrops are scam. If they're just asking for your wallet address and your email, then what's the harm for trying? I only joined two airdrops and I already received their token. The only question here is, if their coin is worth hodling or not.

How can airdrops scam if they gave out free ? I never asked for my private key.

You can leave your Bitcointalk account nickname and email address and this will be enough. If you have easy password less or equal to 7 characters you already lost your Bitcointalk account along with your credentials (email and password) If you use the same password on the email account you already lost email address too. Sometimes your Bitcointalk account can be for sale but most of the times will be used for Signature Campaign. I participated in one AirDrip and regret this, simply saying is not worth it. If you really want to do the best way is to create new  account and separate email address just for that to stay safe.

As if that makes any difference at all. That excel spreadsheet coul still be filled mostly be their (or other people's) sockpuppet accounts. There's no way to know.

And existence of a white paper alone doesn't (shouldn't) make any difference at all, the contents of it might though.

Yes they are scams and you're giving platform to scams "just because it's free" ignoring crypto fundamentals and supporting centralized, premined scams like airdrops. They will own most of the coins, distribute some of it as they please (no fairness and transparency) and pump the price with people like you and cash out and repeat.

You can also buy (even batch buy) dozens of btctalk accounts and redeem airdrops as many times as you want. It's a terrible initial coin distribution method and shouldn't be taken anywhere near seriously.

Yes most of them are scam but not all of them. The only thing is you have to be careful with your private key. To be on the safer side create a new  ETH wallet and a new email for Airdrops because you cannot easily detect scam Airdrops.

In addition, if they don't explain further the details and they can't even provide white paper for the project.

[pikatju]

Almost all airdrops are scam. Better stick to conventional coins

hey,Guys, thanks for the information. In fact, I participated in many airdrops, but never made any donations, etc. The most that I can do is send out information about the airdrop in my social networks. Now many scammers, you can not relax!
