KYC for the DFINITY airdrop

[mbakruroh]

Comrades, I need your opinion. I signed up for an airdrop from the DFINITY project, which promises to send coins for an amount equivalent to 100 CHF. At the same time, they ask to participants to pay $ 9 for the passage of KYC. It seems to me that this is a fraud, but what do you think?
Can the project require money for the passage of KYC and should I do it?

As long as I use crypto and participate in various bounty projects, airdrops and others that require KYC for data verification, I have never found a platform to charge for KYC validation. I think it's a scam, it would be better if you avoid such airdrops.

I have been in the market for a long time and done a lot of bounty and airdrop free projects, but one thing you always remember that the airdrop is free and if you have to spend money on it this is a project fake or scam project to get your money.

This post was long term before even though I want to attach my advice. I couldn't see a single legit project in my bounty join history those asking for money to complete KYC or distribution. Only scan projects are doing the same. Something I didn't submit KYC if dev didn't mention before filled joining form. We should avoid those projects and I found the same thing in this projects.

I think most people avoid doing KYC for airdrop Campaign. I think airdrop KYC is scam.I'm personally ignoring KYC airdrop. I think it Doesn't a real rules for any KYC airdrop campaign. They are just scam.I still cannot believe this type of Airdrop.

Very bad scam project that offers $9 to bypass KYC, basically there is no way to bypass KYC requirements unless you agree to provide your data, even for airdrop programs there are no KYC requirements unless they want to steal your identity. Stay alert and don't be easily tempted to give KYC to get trash tokens.

if it’s not a decent amount of rewards, do not kyc for only $9, this op created back in 2018. at this moment eth gas fee is more than your airdrop rewards.

and i am not agree for kyc to get airdrop tokens. tons of fake and scam airdrops, your personal data may be misused.

Doing KYC for an airdrop is definitely a NO No for me because it only takes a rouge team member with malicious intent to capitalize on this very sensitive data and use it illegally.
KYC information are very important and should be protected at all cost, airdrops have no solid reason to try and collect people's personal data, if its not totally free, then its not really an airdrop

It is exactly a scam and fraud.
Does the team ask for money in order to pass the KYC process? it is so funny because wherever we are, KYC doesn't need any money and we only need some data. And although it only needs some data, we must be also very careful because we know that it may be also a scam and will use our data for something wrong and we also don't know the privacy and security of the data.
So, be careful.
Moreover, we don't need to send event small money to a team if they really want to give us airdrop.

I think you misunderstood, OP didn't say that the airdrop is worth 9$, he said that participants has to pay 9$ to get their KYC checked and confirmed, which can significantly reduce the amount of a user claiming multiple times with different addresses, I think it's worth it if you trust that project and their team are not afraid to show themselves to the public.
