KYC for the DFINITY airdrop

[Argoo]

As far as I remember, in all cases when they demanded to send money for a KYC check or for any other reason during the ICO bounty, this did not lead to anything good. As a rule, all projects turned out to be fraud. Anyway, the requirement to undergo KYC, if the award can be less than one thousand euros, from June 21 is already illegal according to the FATF recommendation.

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.

Don't be surprised, there are a lot of airdrops like this right now. Even people will still KYC with 1-2 $. I do not understand why they did so because it was not worthy

Who still give up their identity for airdrops nowadays? Only referral airdrop Campaigns are worth it and that's even if you have alot of friends who will like to join anything you ask them to join, Airdrops isn't worth your time belief me, I know few projects still pays but too many airdrops are waste of time

[JHORN]

I'm not surprised, people like give up their I.D for 1$ to 5$ worth of tokens but that isn't my problem, some don't know about identity theft, not all Airdrops are legit, the fastest way of grabbing people's identity is through Airdrops, in the end you won't get the token

A lot of airdrops require KYC but people still participate in it. People are only concerned about money but not their safety. Their identities may be exposed and bad guys can use them for malicious purposes

It has been more than two years now and if I am correct no one has received this Airdrop from DFINITY. They have failed to launch their main net till date. A lot of people had payed $9 to complete the KYC.

I hope this does not turns around to be a scam as if it then it would be one of the biggest one related to airdrop.

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?

Paying more for KYC to get approved? Sorry how doesn't this sound so wrong to you? This is a real scam Airdrop project, you've been warned, anything online that involves in sending money first before anything is a complete scam

So far, I strongly avoid airdrops that use KYC to get rewards. it's like selling our identities at cheap prices. however, if it is me, then I will reject it. but, it all depends on your response regarding the project. I quite believe many people will do KYC for that.

[Greatdev]

DFINITY Airdrop looks like a scam and can't be trusted, genuine Airdrops will never ask for payment before verifying participants, I smell a big foul play here and again it doesn't make sense to join Airdrops that requires your identity card, be careful because there is always more that meet the eye

If the airdrops requires kyc to their participants, for me that is not a good giveaways to join in.
Because, we all knows that the profit on airdrops we could get from it is just a small amount of token for
us to earn to that program.

KYC has become a popular trend among airdrop hunters, even though they are only paid $ 5,
they still want KYC, even though in my opinion KYC is very dangerous

[sprzedam]

this is really crazy they require money for verification of your KYC? Avoid this kind of airdrop it is a scam. Even there is no verification fee for KYC, still risky because your information will be use to scam people. Airdrops nowadays are not good to you

[BitKongy]

KYC for Airdrops is not a big deal for many, those 2$ to 5$ that you are complaining about is satisfying to many Airdrop hunters, the choice is yours to make here but this DFINITY Airdrop ask for payment of 9$ means it's scam, Airdrops are free and they don't require any payment

Even now the airdrop is still scattered, I'm sure those who follow the airdrop will do KYC without thinking about whether it will be worth it or not because for this it is too ambitious to make decisions like this.
That data is very important not to do only for $ 5.

Question to you: Is it worth risking your documents submitted to be misused for the sake of 2$ to 5$?

It is not, there is too much risk and with so much uncertainity revolving with altcoins you can't tell which one is scam and which one is not (Most of them are scam). You are sharing some sensitive information about yourself to some untrusted party which bounty hunters need to understand.

[lumeire]

Nope, get away anything that requires you to pay to receive the airdrop, bounty, or whatever. If they want to verify an address to curb the number of bots and alts, they should ask people to send a certain amount to address you own. Not the "give us $9 and we will give it back, this is just for KYC" bullcrap.

This seems like another Twitter scam but this time it isn't in the name of Elon musk or John McAfee, they are again targeting the airdrops hunters and this time also they are asking money in return for airdrop tokens instead of giving double ethers as other scammers do on the Twitter.
Most people fall in this kind of traps because they think that it's just $9 what will the company do by doing a fraud for such small amount, but even if 1k people send $9 to the website address then it becomes a lot and the scammer succeeds in the scam as well and also gets motivated for doing more scams in the future.

[doctor877]

It was perfectly done. Well I will say those are the days when anything goes. But now no one will ever respond if any project tries this out. It will fail from start no matter how promising it looks.

KYC will be a popular trend in the airdrop scheme because 96% of all airdrop hunters are ready to go through the mud just for some few cents and this lead to some project owners abusing the airdrop scheme because there's no reason a airdrop participant have to go through KYC when he's not an investor but the project advertiser

[Rengga Jati]

Comrades, I need your opinion. I signed up for airdrop from the DFINITY project, which promises to send coins for an amount equivalent to 100 CHF.

CHF? This is my first time hearing this coin. Is it tradable? Or it is already on the exchange that has good amount of the price? I think you should consider the amount of the possible price of 100CHF equivalent to how dollars.

they ask participants to pay $ 9 for the passage of KYC.

Are you kidding me? You want to join in an airport but you must send the payment to pass KYC? As far as I know, KYC needs certain documents to pass and not money. Moreover, I personally am not the kind of person who want to give my identity to the airdrop. therefore so far I never join airdrop that requires the identity card.

You should be careful mate.  don't want to make it bad. But it seems so strange to me. It may be a scam or other fraud. Analyze again your participation.

[terizla]

Your identity more important than $9.
Be carefull, don't KYC for airdrops and it only $9. Don't sell your identity for $9.
After recevied your identity, they can use your identity to another airdrops with KYC. And your identity are not safe.
