Not all of it are scams or frauds, but as what I have read from the threads on this forum, mostly they are scams. Not all of the free things are scams, but if it looks too good to be true, then maybe it is scam. For airdrops, which you basically wait for the tokens to be dropped in front of you, and at the same time a high paying one, then maybe it is a scam. But I am not saying that it is a scam, but check for the history of the manager. Is it someone you can trust? Because if it isn't, then definitely it will break their promise and might end up scamming you.

Even though they are free, Airdrops that do not deliver tokens should be considered scams. Being scams they are likely to sell whatever personal data they have, which is a violation of our rights. When participating in Airdrops do the same checks you would do before investing in an ICO to avoid being scammed.

That's what these people love doing. They love to shame a company and name it a scam when they did not even put any effort. They share three links on twitter in a week and write a tweet or two and expect to make thousands of dollars out of it and if the coin doesn't appreciate then they start blaming the company and calling it a scam. They say their hard work is wasted. Where is the hard work in sharing few posts on twitter and then reporting their links? No offense intended but these people should calm down.

Well 95% of airdrops and bounty is a scam and it's a free way to get cryptocurrency. So yeah, most of free things are scam.

As people say "there is no such thing like free lunch" and at cryptoworld it works at 100% - mostly if you been given something for free, that mostly means that was made for advertisement or to hook you into the ICO

Your time, your influence in ur daily life( including the media u share ) etc are all ur important resources. The resource does not only mean money but all things related to u( even ur reputation anyhow u are not famous ).

Perhaps in this case, people mean that the airdrop campaign is not working, or is closing, or something else

Just for your information some of big scams was an Airdrop I can give you one example for that EtherDark , It started as Airdrop and ended up as huge scam . You call it free airdrop but in reality those free airdrop get listed on an exchange such as Etherdelta back then and suddenly this free airdrop started to worth real money . And once that happened Deva started to dump his coins on the head of people who thought that his project is legit and he made millions of dollars and just disappear . There is another example an Ann thread that I just reported couple days ago they had there team fake and in there defense they are saying they did not ask for money ! . I am sure that if I did not report it it would end up scam people for money or else why they use fake pictures and names for there team ! . I can give you endless examples but I think the above is enough to give you the idea for why something free can easily be scam .

Airdrops are not what they used to. I got a few FREE alts from airdrops last year and they were goooood! Unfortunately, the 1st quarter of 2018 has ended and I haven't got any good airdrops.

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,
In the airdrop there is an interest among those who conduct it. This promotes the advertising of the coin, which is distributed

If it is given away for free in large amounts, do not put suspicions in it? If only a few, of course, reasonable but if large amounts are certainly very needed to look out for, logically they will not receive anything except the only data we have and to be said is simply a scam.

Yes, thing that is free can be a scam. For example, there might be virus or malware in the wallet you download to receive the free coins.

Everything can be a scam. Even if it not for free.. Just watch the most ICOs that we back in 2017... The most projects just scammed their people and run away with all their money.

so according to you we can be scammed only by stealing our money . those airdrops just do post fake airdrop and project for following reason - for donation for airdrop for increasing twitter and telegram followers after launch of project core team pump the token price and dump team tokens .. taking personal data and misuse of it in future . so these are ex why they do it .

still a scam in the ico company was quite a lot. but I thought that this practice practically changed, but it turned out not so. I would like to cite the Sandro project as an example, which collected a hard cap, and eventually the developers left with the investors' money.
