KYC for the DFINITY airdrop

[daniahya]

I only just found the airdrop that requires paying for KYC requirements, you better stay away from airdrop like this, because it only harms you, not to mention the document is very important and must be maintained so that it is not utilized by others, I often stay away from airdrops that are requires KYC

If it's just an airdrop and ask KYC or required payment, I choose to leave it if the payment I get is not comparable, but for your case 100% I will leave it for whatever reason. Now, many reasons and way are made just to scammed not only investors but also bounty/airdrop hunters. We need more carefully.

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?

talking about KYC to invest in Airdrop will certainly make gift hunters unhappy or feel their identities can be known by others and raise doubts. if indeed it is a rule to get the tokens as they promised and will promise to give payment then I think that is a not problem. you can research beforehand before joining and hopefully you get $ 9 for your KYC trip. good luck for you buddy.

Asking a KYC for airdrop is fine but asking 9$ for passage is obnoxious, sounds really fishy and that's not airdrop anymore which supposed to be a free, if fees required to claim then that's "pay-drop". Better not to pay for that and not to submit KYC bro, it's scam for sure and probably a fake airdrop after all. Better to stick on airdrops that don't give too much hype in the beginning and its more legit that way based on my experienced.

it is not worthed if we do KYC just for few dollars. our personal data more important than couple dollars from airdrop, moreover when we recieve this reward it have value in market. some airdrop program need long time to list in market , so its very dangerous to give our document. even good project in market never ask their investors about this.

I know dfinity and its a good project. Airdrop with KYC is probably a very bad move if they are really serious on launching this one. For few bucks would you give your information on such private firm? Its like surrendering your posession voluntarily with a bribe of merely pennies. If the airdrop is worth 1k to 2k usd then we can spare some ego here of course its money and we all knew its very much needed on the time like this.

But those who benefit with this are the people who are using others information for joining airdrops too and giveaway with KYC using your profile, sounds harsh right but it is fact. Dont ever joined low class airdrop asking sensitive information.

private document very dangerous to spread in world wide, moreover we know in dark web there are many hacker sell this private data without any restriction at all. profesional airdrop hunter will not use their own personal data to claim their reward. they  have own trick to pass KYC requirement.

You must have got the same answer from every one right now that the project is scam if you are really asked to make payments, airdrops don't ask for money, they are free and airdrops that asked for deposits are scam, kindly consider closing this thread

Even if that was a trusted airdrop and will we sell our identity for only a few dollars? that's the worst thing that i have ever seen in my life and i remember so many people have been participating in the old KYC airdrop and they were also getting scammed.

They ask for $9 dollars before they sent 100 CHF in coins! It's a scam, if this is a regular airdrop they would just sent to people with a valid address, who will the form! With or without KYC, some airdrops ask for KYC some don't, but to send them money for the airdrop is a clear scam. And not just to send them $9 to do a KYC too, I think we have some greedy scammers!

You are here even before the 2017 Pump happens yet you are asking this kind of question?

There is no legit company that will ask you first of 9$ just to pass your KYC.

We don't even trust those project that asked for KYC and here you go?joining a airdrop that seek payment first?

This is a True scamming so better leave this one and find other legit company(but i am sure you will be harder to find lol)

[nicecrypto]

In short it is a bad idea for a kyc to claim airdrop, i don't support that idea at all, everyone knows that most airdrop tokens are usually small amount so why someone will even think of doing kyc for such small amount, it doesn't worth it in my opinion, but different stroke for different folks.

Why KYC is extremely dangerous – and useless

It is not reasonable to transfer your personal data to unknown persons and pay for this service.
You will lose money and your personal data.

This is definitely scam,

There is no way that participants should send a few bucks before they get their free drop. It should be free since they are the one who needs the participants. Also, they require kyc which is not really recommended because they might use it to illegal activities.

[miklesm]

I think KYC procedure for an Airdrop should always be free, otherwise it is not an Airdrop at all. It is very strange to ask to pay 9$ for verification process.

Such requirements are similar to the fact that airdrop itself is a scam. 100 CHF is approximately equal to 100 us dollars. So there is no point in giving you 100 Swiss francs in exchange for your $ 9. Ask them to give you 90 CHF instead of 100 CHF, but without sending them $ 9)
In addition, there is no guarantee that these coins will actually be worth 100 CHF.

I joined few airdrops that asked for KYC in 2018 and few of them paid, coinsbit and origin project airdrop was the one I joined last and they paid but I have never seen a airdrop project that ask people for deposits before sending them token, it's red flag

It's because a SCAM all over. Asking participants to pay $9 is just absurd, and this is not the first time that we have heard this kind of stunt that is being pulled out by those so called bounties. Others will ask for your wallet's private key and then this scam.

And I do hope that no one will fall for this kind of trick because this is well-known already. Besides, not just the money but your personal identification is being stolen here.

No. Why do they need to require you some payment just for your KYC? This is clearly a scam and you should start avoiding this airdrop. They should give their airdrop for free and they don't even need to require anyone to undergo KYC process. Don't fall for their scam activities, you will only regret it in the end.

[thesmallgod]

Immediately they ask you to pay for KYC should know you shouldn't even consider further. When KYC is required, it is checked in order to prevent the business owner of being charge with AML and abating crime. This doesn't require anything except physical examination. The dangerous is even supersede being scam but you stand the chance of your documents being sold in the dark web. If your document got sold and it is being used for illegal activities, you stand the chance of being convicted
