Can something free be a scam?

[BryanRoseWalker]

In most cases, the tokens you get after registering with airdrop do not cost anything, or you are not paid at all. But they can not steal anything from you.

yes they can only steal from us, if only they asked us to send ETH address, personal data or must send token
most free cases are such frauds, not in deny we have to be careful if do not want bad things happen

Yes, I do not keep my money in the ICO, but I do my work, I give my data and I want to get a reward for it. and do not get it. That's what is scam .

[Iyanuoluwa]

I would say 50/50 not everything that is free be a scam and not all of it legit, we just need to know more about it, so that we don't fall on bad sides

[SOGabriel]

Yes... Because nothing in this world is free, somebody somewhere will pay for what you called free one way or the other.

[Nagrogflaz]

the inclusion of coins has attracted many people and there are some people who take advantage of this situation for bad things, they commit fraud only for their own sake so I do not think we will be free of scam as long as these bad guys are still there

[Esiduf222]

That's the power of freebies. But not all are scams at times you just have to know and look out for specific features of the project or airdrop.

Hi everybody,
Lately I am reading a lot of posts asking: is this airdrop a scam? Is that free ICO a scam?
So I am wondering how can something that doesn't cost you a penny be a scam. Sure, they get your email adress and maybe a ETH Adress, but how can you  really be scamed with only this informations? I am not talking about airdrops that require kyc registration, that for sure can be dangerous.
Cheers,

It does not actually follow that since the airdrop is a free give-away it is not a scam at all. If it is a scam, it remains a scam even if it is giving away its coins. You have to be careful because a lot of start-up crypto projects that are giving away free airdrops are holding a very huge portion of the coins to themselves. That means if the value of their coins gains growth, the developers might dump their huge holdings.

Free means it is not required money or not cost any money. And we know that the scam is a dishonest way yo make money by deceiving people. So something free for me is not a scam maybe it's not free at all you'll have to do something to achieve a free maybe in a way that you need something to do just like in airdrop and bounty it doesn't need an investing but you need to become patience and become industrious

Something free is often a scam. But not always, you see. Moreover sometimes it is possible even to earn some money through free campaigns and services. In such a way I have got my first money two years ago.

[alyssaxx]

In some terms especially if they offering huge interest for just a short of time without doing much work.
But joining in any airdrops i think it is not scam since they're asking for our help for making their coins known in the market just by sharing. It is only their way of thanking us  for giving a portion of their tokens.

I don't think they can steal your data or cryptocurrency, but it's possible that they won't to pay your tokens or these tokens can be zero cost

[metribitcoin]

Just becarefull when joining airdrop from uknown project and dont have any good reputation because just by only by filled the form possible they can harm your device and steal your private key. To be more safe just joined airdrop from legit company and also they run ICO. Although they only collect email adress but they can sell it to third party and make spam and sent link phising to our email adress

[Crypto Chips]

no, because all of new project is have potential for turn to a scam, they don't want to be a scam, but the project idea and the execution of the project is not  effective that will bring the project turning to a scam

As an expansion to this discussion has anyone had positive experiences with Airdrops, either as a participant or an organiser?

[Perfect35]

Engaging  in airdrops that did not ask for donations or KYC, might make you feel you cannot be scammed. Good you mentioned e-mail as part of their requirements. If you give your email address out for any scam airdrop or ICO, if they do not use it by themselves, they may sell it to other scammers.
What happens is that, they may send phishing sites to you and if that is the same email you use for most of your security details, such as exchange accounts. If you click on and phishing site they send to you, you might get phished.

Airdrops are not scam in general. You are not getting rewarded for free. You are rewarded for being a community member of that particular project. You are being part of the project promotion. So that reward is not free. Even if you think you are worthless, you are not actually. Your time is worth, your social presence have its value, your words have value. So the airdrop you are getting is not free.

[Erik Goff]

Simply they get your email address and after that they will sell it on black market, also many times airdrops try to steal your private key, so be aware!

[Cassenan]

I haven't experience yet that can something free is a scam. It is my first time to join airdrop have no experience, i follow also in telegram. I  attract joining because of free and not exerting effort.

[feverpitch]

Of course it can be a scam. For an example, the coins that are airdropped, also solds at ICO. And they want many followers and they can ask you to register in ther website or follow them on facebook, etc. They want you to help them to interest investors.

[CryptoRama]

offcourse man!!

It very much depends on what do they want? maybe your personal data or just to donwload a simple  "unharmfull" program, and you get hacked... man watch your head, it's a chaos out there,

watch out!  usually if something is too good to be true, just get away from that...
