Can something free be a scam?

[joseyphil82]

Its not only when you got cheated of your money is scam ,even if its free what about your time wasted ? Posting on your social platforms? Most of them scam projects are only after followers and subscribers.

Not everything that free is a scam. Sometimes any free coins can have better market that any expensive coins.
Most importantly is that the ICO project is good with supported by good team behind it.

Not at all, but free projects are more often are scams, but from the other side I have taken part in come of them and the profit was so good there, so they were not scams.

Sometimes it does. There are times that free tokens can be a scam, the goal of the management team is to gain investors, that's why they giving free tokens/coins just to promote their projects to the public. The people who get free rewards can't be affected by the scam but the investors will.

Scam is not only when there is money loss involved. As long as you dedicated your time, resources to fill in your details for the airdrop and they fail to honour their own part of the deal, it's definitely a scam. Also remember that some of them require you to join their telegram group, follow them on social media so we shouldn't treat their shortcomings lightly.

This is a fraud because a bounty and airdrop not pay for the work. They use our time for free.

[gezhid008]

Not all airdrops are scams, we can say scams even if it's free because we're trying to spend our time. But if you choose the right one, you will gain a lot.

[ThinkMaxi102]

Not all but it has more chance to be a scam. Be aware of it.

[JunkieOrigin774]

Its hard to say but experts are saying that there are a lot scam. I think we should be more careful.

[NetFreak199]

No i am sure. Nothing can be free of scam, because scammers can copy any idea. And it will look not bad. Remember bitcoincash.

It is scam because they offer you free coins or tokens for signing up and sometimes tweets (airdrop tasks) but finally you dont receive anything, because it was only for collecting data. So this is lie from the start, they can also steal your tokens If you have them a lot.

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,

When someone offers something free, and you do not have to do anything for it, there is always the possibility of fraud. We need to understand - with participation in bounty or airdrops, we do not get a coin for free. After all, we are doing a lot of work, we are wasting our time and energy.

[nekorakoeora]

the scam is not only talking about money only. a lot of things that can be taken when indeed it projects scam. or even this only as bait just to scam others by how to enliven the social media are there to make it look real.

[e@symode]

If you look from the ideological point of view, nothing bad happens, but they steal from us not only money, but our time, which we spend on building teams, so I think we can call a scam.
And I will do it whoever told me.

Based in my experience, when there's a giveaway free token they are most a scam. So I think not all the time free given coin is not good and wasting time only. So if you encounter a free token don't waste your time for it, its better to participate in bounty campaign. Especially now that most of free coin are fraud, don't believe them they only a bait. So if I where you, you must be aware and able to distinguish those scam and those not.

[seanjoseph]

Not all of it are scam.
But you must be careful before join any project.
Free token without doing nothing can possibly becoming a scam.
Be aware of it.

It seems to me in the current situation to participate in airdrops is stupid. The number of successful airdrops tends to zero, and the rest simply build up databases for spam. Now this crypto promotion method is going through hard times.

Big possibility that free items might be a scam, however to be fair to the legit airdrops we cannot assume all free airdrops are scam. Whenever anything appear to be too good most probably it is a scam.

[sinkfish]

even free things require your effort to obtain said rewards. anythings consume your time, energy or information, not only money but without rewards is free works for them, with no promise rewards given, it can consider a scam. Just becareful, you never know what others can do with it.

[danfred]

Yes, it can be considered fraud. After all, in order to receive a reward in this case, we have to waste our time and energy. And time today is very important. Why should I waste my time? I'd rather then look for a more reliable project that will give me the right rewards.
