Can something free be a scam?

[neulopdua]

if you speak for free, not all that is free is a scam, only a few that I find scam, if a scam is a risk to us because we only get free profits but the only loss is the time we use for something that is a scam. my advice should be to avoid what is about to be unprofitable.

Well, with crypto ,care has to be taken, for the fact that it  is free, more care has to be taken, I can't advice myself to make use of such. Because OK nice you log in and your valid information is received. Then your account can be hacked. And you know  what? More trouble loading....... Soits better to stay off it

[romantic007]

Well, people don't want to be cheated on anyway. If some scum project collects nothing but your e-mail it still can be unpleasantly because they can use those e-mails for something, at least for spam.

We used to think so. Although you also need to trust. But in our life it is difficult. After all, we used to get only then. When we work hard and invest our time and energy. It's not bad I believe.

Let me tell you a story. I received some coins for otho airdrop back in January,they were going to launch 52 rounds of airdrop promising more tokens for tokenholders. I've bought on etherdelta after 1st airdrop, received 2 airdrop and then Otho announced Kucoin listing. Then they disappeared and get rid of all tokens decreasing price to 0.

it could happen because all that is free is a hoax. They deceive us just to attract other investors to join this project. after they get these investors they forget their obligation to give a bonus to those of us who have worked on the project.

Theres airdrops that have free coins that can be used to purchase things on the Internet though they are real they are worth little to no money.

[zulfa999]

all require a fee even for the gift, it also costs money, the internet and also need electricity, even for investors it is also like that what do you think the free coin needs to be said

[Shyamnautiyal8]

I think It can be a scam. Usually the coins that are airdropped are also sold at ICOs. And they usually ask you register in their website, join a telegram group, follow them on facebook, follow on twitter, etc. They want you to help them to attract investors.

I have seen so many situations and instances where things that are free becoming scam and most times, people easily get scammed through free things.

[militan01]

not all bounties and airdrops are scams, but many of them are now scam, and even all that is free is a scam, because we don't accept anything when we have finished bounty and airdrop.

[venlussbuck]

I don't think so. By Airdop or bounty is the marketing measure for the project. The new ICO sale is the problem, the development team to embrace the investor's new scam project

Yes it is possible for sure, giving something rewards for free then it may lead to hack our personal information logged on their website, maybe used the same username and password, a phising sites. So, be carefull and be aware for those who intend to give something free.

It happens all the time when an email came with a message telling you to claim coins and its too late when you realize its actually a phishing site.
If they are giving free coins like in airdrop, it could still be a scam when suddenly there are good volume already and the team suddenly drops their bomb and unload all the tokens they got.

[camryku]

It is a scam which has not seen the results only. they make us go into various sites they include social media in order to look has a lot of enthusiasm to join in it. of course, if this kind of investor will be able to confidently to interested and joined because it has many enthusiasts. It could be that this is a scam it just hasn't been seen clearly only.

[deadpool02]

Yup definitely, something free could be a scam.
I understand that you do not consider your ETH address and email address very important that even if shared it does not matter.
SCAM would be termed for something what is promised to you in return of something (could be email, eth address or any activity) you do for there airdrop and not receiving it or receiving tokens which are worthless.

Of course not all projects can be successful, we need to find better projects from these projects, so that we can make a profit, so we spend more energy and time on the research project.

[matico]

If there are conditions hat you must fulfill before the free token is given, it is no longer free because you now have obligation to fulfill  a condition or many condition before you could get what is promised!

[TIDOVEE]

Yes, something free can be a scam because not all scam must be money dupe, even ones time and energy wasted could be frustrating as one would have better used the wasted on other real thing.
Secondly, ones data collected may be used to implicate or even hack ones account.
Something free can be scam.  

[anggaem]

yes something free can be a scam . it's like they just collect your data and stolen your private data.

[chandrarahmadewa]

even though it's free, it could be a scam because I lost the time and energy for a Bounty or Airdrop to get a worthless Token in the cryptocurrency market.
