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.

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.

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.

Be very carefull and protect always your personal data.

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.
