Something arent free can be a trick still, extraordinarily airdrops that is the reason individuals saying that airdrops is only an exercise in futility since you have to fill some frame and at last the coin you get has no value,it is free. There are likewise things that arent free however at last it is trick.

Mostly free airdrop tokens is scam, they have one idea collect information about crypto interest peoples for spamming in the future
Thats right. but I think not most. but pretty much ico project is becoming a scam. they just use you with their bounty for their project to be know by many people and many of them buy their tokens and then become a scam. but not all ico like that. then you should be more observant in choosing

they want lots of followers and they can ask you to register on the website or follow them on Facebook, etc. They want you to help them to attract investors Of course it can be a fraud as long as they do not pay what we do

Whenever a scam can happen. Not only because it is free, but only those who pay can be a scam. For that we must be careful in choosing ICO project. Moreover bounty, lest we just work voluntarily and then not get paid. Some failed projects can be a scam because their target is not achieved.

A fraudulent or deceptive act or operation.
If the above can be said to be the definition of a scam, it means that failed airdrop is qualified to be called a scam because their is deception and their is fraud and those involved should be treated as criminals and fraudsters.

First of all, you are a real user in the field of cryptocurrency. They can get your personal information for sale, instead of defrauding your funds. Although it seems that you have not lost anything, this behavior is shameful, and now there is no A good management model, looking forward to improvement

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,

Before, most airdrops are trusted but now there are so many scams. Note there are just many so not all of them are scam. We got scammed because we get nothing from them or they did not pay us but they got our information that they can be use in something fishy without knowing. They are just using us.

In my experience, when something says it's free without you having to put anything in it, like money or effort or some kind, then it really is a scam. Be careful with the kind of project that you end up working with, there is no such thing as a free thing in this market, you are always paying for it in some way. Most of the airdrops now are scams and they find ways to get into the wallets of participants and steal their coins.

ACCOUNT RECOVERED 4/27/2020. Account was previously hacked sometime in 2017. Posts between 12/31/2016 and 4/27/2020 are NOT LEGITIMATE.

Everything can be a trick. Regardless of whether it not for nothing.. Simply watch the most ICOs that we in 2017... The most tasks just misled their kin and flee with all their cash.

Free stuff can certainly be a hoax, whether it's an airdrop or a fake ICO plan. It's all easy to do. If you want to avoid this, you must carefully check the authenticity of the project.

Cheers,

A scam is when you're promised something and you don't get it, in every case you give something valuable. It may be insignificant to you, but not to everyone. When you engage in an airdrop or bounty, you give out your personal information, your time and Internet access which is not free only for them not to keep to their promises. It could be demoralising and I guess that explains why people need to be careful and ask questions before engaging in any airdrop or bounty schemes.

 I have said this time and again. that most things that comes free are scam that's why I don't waste my previous time, resources and energy on this scam airdrops labelled ' free '.
I would rather participate in bounty campaigns than airdrops.

things like that now pretty much. so indeed we need to be very careful with this situation, although ICO is free, yes we must remain cautious, because usually the free it is very cruel to cheat.

Am sure if you are aware that a particular airdrop is a scam, you won't bother yourself in filling the form. The little time we spent in filling and joining their social media or telegram can be spent on something else rewarding.
Therefore, something free can be scam.

Well, it is tru that you don't even spent a dime on getting into those projects like airdrops, for example, but if it were an scam it would defintely have a porpuse behind it, I mean, who would take the time to just fool people for the sake of it, be careful with the amount of information you give and also the websites you register in, your personal information could be compromised.

A lot of airdrops, where in social networks only posts about the drop itself. Such a good project that just appeared, and immediately the coins poured. Suspicious all of this.

Numerous free things can be a trick on the off chance that you are guaranteed to accomplish something and it laters bring you no reward. For the way that you squandered your opportunity, information, vitality in doing the free stuff and no prizes come after, at that point you should realize that it's only a trick. They may have utilized you to accomplish their motivation which is joining their Telegram. They required individuals to join their Telegram amass which they should need to use for another reason, the main way they can get it is to declare a phony airdrop, at that point you begin joining and when it achieves the number they require they reveal to you the shape is shut and couple of months after the fact they redirect the gathering to something else. Reveal to me how that isn't a trick.
