this is very alarming today I have many friends who are victims of these scam airdrops hope it can be regulated soon

[Alluro]

Yes true. In these days most airdrops are the scam. They are looking to steal your private keys, KYC documents etc. The most airdrop telegram channels and sites are looking to share their referral links. Then you hard to find legit airdrops. You have to do your own research to find legit airdrops.

[green547]

Most of these "airdrops" are just straight up scams to collect your information to sell it or try to phish your crypto later.  Don't even waste your time with these, seriously.

[mithrim]

It's easy, don't ever take part in something that wants information from you that isn't publicly available or can be made public without harming you. Simple. Don't give private keys, don't install anything, don't make KYC by giving away your personal data like ID etc.

[Komorhan]

Some say they will give you extra airdrops. mail, or if you see a link from somewhere, do not click. Find and join on BitCoinTalk.

[bimbie]

Yes it's true,don't ever gave them so much information of you and your account especially private key.We must be keen/wise observer and reader so that scammer will not win over us.

[Velkro]

Please beware of some scammers who use fake aidrop to get your personal information. And break into your account using those information that they get from you.

With enough personal data they can break almost anywhere so ur bank account, bitcoin exchange account, ebay account etc.
Be very carefull and protect always your personal data.

[pealr12]

Well in this world were money is the most needed by people ,they will do everything just to get it. Just be careful in clicking malicious link that was sent your email addreses. The safest action is to not respond just ignore those mails.

[Behene]

Joined 3 airdrops, unfortunately all are scams 

[mybloomingpath]

Unfortunately most of Airdrops are scams or at least received tokens worth nothing. Anyway thank you for warning. I would be more attentive to the forms I'm filling and to requested information.

I think there is a very thin possibility of airdrops getting regulated because they are crypto related and governments currently don't involve in them much.
Always try to stay away from airdrops that require your personal information as KYC. Many may even pay you their tokens but many of them would end up getting Not listed on exchanges and thereby be worthless whereas they would have gotten your personal details.

[Komorhan]

my thought was that the airdrop jobs were no more garbage, and even the twitter and facebook bounty are so bad that the result is even worse. joining your signature campaigns by collecting merit by making good quality postings to you. otherwise you are agreeing to 7 twelve weeks bounty of 7 dollars coin you paid for.

[nonycinta]

Most of the airdrops are simply mining for personal information.

You are very correct, several attempts have been made to log into my trading account using information I supplied through scam airdrops.... I was just lucky that those attempts were not sucessful.

From my experience, to be on the safer side I will say Its better to do airdrop of solid projects or icos with strong white paper , team. Community and intended product. And importantly, don't click links that are sent to your email from airdrop managers. Just copy and paste on a browser you don't use, most are phsing scam links. So stay safe.

Are you saying that we should never submit KYC documents ? If no, on what occasion can one participate in KYC? The last time I checked, most legit airdrops carried out KYC example, Polymath and Shipchain. These are correct Airdrops and projects and KYC was compulsory.

[BTCW]

Anyone or any service asking for your private key is a scammer, 100%.

Not limited to Airdrop scams. Stay safe!

NEVER SHARE YOUR PRIVATE KEY WITH ANYONE - OK?

[cryptoperu]

I think airdrops would soon come to an end. I personally think it's has been bastardise and it not even worth anything. And those that turn out good end up in the dust much latter

[mudyak99]

I already to stop airdrop on last month october, because are many airdrops is scam and fake. I already registered 50+ airdrops and only 1 airdrop real and landing in my account. So if when avery people try to share airdrop with KYC or not, big reward or low reward, and top airdrop or success airdrop. I don't join it

[Obiwankenodium]

You can filter out a lot of scam airdrops by onky joining airdrops from trustworthy sources, they fo thr checks for you and you give them a bonus by joining through their ref link.
Furthermore i use a seperate email, mew and passwords for airdrops.

[yarelydiaz]

Don't even know what the theme with Airdrop relevant, given the state of the market, all Airdrops now is quite small  If you still take part, then of course,it is better to have a separate mail for this, and never follow the links from the native mail, and it is better to use a virtual machine (I use Hyper-V).

I don't think so, airdrop will be always exist because it always being part of advertising from the project, just like giveaways. Even Blockchain are currently airdropping XLM worth of $125.000.000 to their users, for telling people that they are now accepting Stellar on their platform, it's advertising.

[Chantella]

How often does it happen in your experience that a project holds an airdrop yet for a lot of members they say that they didn't fill all the necessary tasks (even though they think they did) and therefore are not qualified for the airdrop.. can this be a scam as well?

Yes, you're right. There are so many scammes around us. We should stay alert and be careful with airdrop and bounty campaign.

Joined 3 airdrops, unfortunately all are scams 

sorry to hear that. Hope you can learn from your mistake and will not be scammed again.

As I've understood even a lot of projects hold airdrops just to get people's information, isn't that right? Well of course, by airdrops they can increase their visibility and also increase their followers and supporters list, but is there even another reason why a project would want to hold an airdrop if not for gaining access to people's details?

I think the surrounding reality is cruel and at the moment airdrop is needed solely for marketing purposes, obtaining subscribers in social networks, obtaining consent to send an email. I do not think that you, as an investor, look positively on the free distribution of tokens...

[kATETom]

It is true. There are more and more airdrop scam out there, some of my friends are also scammed recently. We should be carefully and stay alert to protect ourselves.

That's right. Even the major channels for airdrop (like airdropalert), unfortunately, came across on such things as airdrop/advertising Scam projects.
