Some airdrops are legit, however, there are a lot of scam airdrop and shitcoin airdrops nowadays. However, legit airdrops are worth it because I was able to get $2,000 from an airdrop last year. People should be careful because there are airdrops that have a phishing site. Some would even ask for donations for more coins, which make it suspicious.

That's why people shouldn't jump on every Airdrop. It's better to join bounties than Airdrops because you get a fair share for the work you do.
Yes people need to triple check it before fill out the airdrop form. Indeed join bounties is more reliable to get the token. thanks for sharing also we need another section in this forum dedicated to scams and frauds which is regularly updated for our safety

C'mon, man. Most of airdrops is a scam, at least half of the coins that been dropped are nothing more than a useless thrash. That's usual.

You must be lucky to get 2k dollars in just an airdrop. I remember last time i only get 300 to 400 dollars after i sell the token that i get from an airdrop but i regret after a few days because the price of it has still continue to rise up to 3k dollars. that was ny first mistake so far on an airdrop however im still thankful because i only get that token for free without doing an effort at all. Anyways airdrops does not have the ability to scam people because they only give away their coins without begging for a return.

Anyways airdrops does not have the ability to scam people because they only give away their coins without begging for a return. Will have to correct you here. It is possible to get scammed by airdrops in several ways. For example, some airdrop campaigns will ask you to download their wallets in order to receive free coins which many users blindly download. The problem here is that these wallets are cleverly designed viruses meant to steal your credentials by hacking into your system which is one way of losing your hard earned money just like that. This is why I advise everyone not to get greedy and download wallets linked to popular coins only and never give away your private keys.

Hii, so there are many airdrop nowadays. But some of them are scam. Here are the list of SCAM airdrop do not join the Airdrop.
Thank you very much for your efforts, but I do not see any point in putting these lists on the table. Too many airdrops, it would be best to lay out lists of those airdrops that are honest and real. Although in any case I stopped participating in it as it is 99% meaningless.

Thanks for the information. There's actually a lot of airdrops that turns to scam after a certain period so its really hard to identify which one will give us some token and which one will not. As long as an airdrop doesn't require KYC then I am okay to join them as KYC will only make everything complicated.

I understand that most airdrops don't distribute their tokens. But can anyone tell me what's so terrible about it? You just tried to get some coins for free and you spent some time for filling form. Is that real catastrophe? I think that scum bounties are really worse because you spend much more time on it and you advertise it to other people.

OP, thanks for opening this topic. I've noticed the BAT Token & the Macro Token Airdrops. They even had point 1 written the same up to Telegram channel link. I've reported Macro Airdrop.
I will follow this topic and help to report scams. We're all in this together, we must help each other...
Great job!

They are collecting emails and telegram usernames. Beware!
1) They sell emails, telegram groups or use those lists for spam/bounties 2) There is possibility of using it for phishing/social hacking.

I have been into airdrops before and i used to participate as many as i can without thinking that it is a scam or not. But those airdrops that asks for donation as payment for gas are simply discarded right away. So i don't really care enough if i have participated in a scam bounty, besides, it's just a matter of seconds or minute to finish the registration form and all you have to do is sit back and wait for a couple of days before you receive your free tokens.

Thanks for the info mate but there is more airdrop that is scam specially the selfdrop you will send 0 ethereum and you will receive token but the truth is the gas that yo use is automatically will go into their account so beware on airdrop and some of them are phising site once you click you will be hack so it is better to do the bounty than joining in airdrop.

Airdrops are proliferating nowadays,there are numerous of airdrops popping out everyday but only few of them are legit but majority of them are scams so stay away that required KYC like requiring additional personal identity, passport for example. Some of them will gather info and sell them and some use it as identity theft so let's be vigilant of some suspicious ICOs.
