KYC for the DFINITY airdrop

[nicecrypto]

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?

First of all I have stopped partaking in Airdrops long ago for my own personal reasons and secondly, why would I want to pay any thing  to pass kyc that I dont want to do In the first place? I might do a KYC for an exchange I really want to use if I feel it is important to me but not for any other thing most especially not for Airdrop and i dont care how much it is. So its a No No for me.

In essence, giving KYC for the Airdrop program is very ridiculous, because there are other things that are more important than Airdrop, so it's not worth giving KYC to any Airdrop program in the crypto space, that's the point, but for popular exchanges like Binance, Kucoin, Gate and Okex I think giving KYC wouldn't hurt.

If I look at the percentage of Airdrop progression is very large with different task requests and most of them are risky and only a few are paid, talking about KYC is important. KYC is personal information. if used incorrectly it will be bad for us. I recommend reconfirming and communicating with the team that handles the DFINITY project in detail.

I received an email yesterday 19th August that kyc date extended on Coinlist and i should sign up apply for kyc and pay USD 9 for verification. I tried to contact DFINITY telegram group admin confirming this. He asked me to PM . I send him personal message but he didn't reply so far. Seems to be a scam. Why admin can't reply me in group and ask me to send personal message. I am not going to to claim this Airdrop. They collected our datas, now wants our IDs and on the top of it USD 9.

Obviously a scam. The last time I was involved in any type of Admin not wanting to discuss any thing in public chat was with Fedlio exchange and eventually turned out to be a scam exchange and I lost some money there too so I never do any thing with any admin in any group that will not discuss in public chat that's a clear sign of scam and besides, why would i want to pay to KYC for an Airdrop?

I saw a few friends they shared that they got the money from $50k to $200k from this airdrop, I was also surprised and happy to have them share that they did it a long time ago and right away not even I remember exactly about it. Anyway congratulations everyone who has participated and been with this project, you are having fun from it.

How did they get such huge amount of tokens, when in airdrop rules it was mentioned that "Users who subscribed before April 4th will get between $500 – $2500 DFN and users who subscribed after will receive at least $100 worth of DFN tokens." ?

In Reddit, people mention that they receive either 28, or 119 tokens. With the price of roughly $500, these 119 ICN tokens could be "$50k". But how did they get $200k? Cheated and participated with multiple accounts? 

I don't know how they do it either, but I know they have been in the community before and can benefit from refs with their community. Or they could be cheater airdrops, and that value is just the total amount of coins they can get charged with its closest ATH price as they say. It's not my money anyway, that's all I know if I get such a large sum I'd really seriously dig deeper into this project, even though I've heard about it said a lot ago these times I think still not ready to start hoarding it for long time.

It does not rule out that it is just a special strategy used by certain individuals so that the airdrop seems very attractive and makes people have a strong desire to be part of the airdrop. You can be fooled by this kind of game, not only is the money lost, but the most important part of you that you give, namely your complete identity, becomes a dangerous threat in the future.
Data misuse is very common in this era. We all know that data is more important than gold. For example: Google, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok which have successfully monetized their user data for the benefit of the platform.

When UNI airdrop becomes known to everyone, there were scam sites trying to give away UNI which will tell users to submit private keys before they could get the airdrop tokens.  I wonder be surprised to see there will be another airdrop from scammers just like that which lures users for the high-value ICP tokens.
I still can't believe the ICP project just climbed up the top overnight.

It seems that its appearance is helping many former airdrops have great fun. I heard about this project's airdrop, and its excellent value, didn't know this project will plan to pay the people who have been with them. As for the KYC verification issue, I think it's very necessary to eliminate cheaters and possibly harm the project.

like if an airdrop asks for money for any reason it must end up being a fake airdrop or fraud. be careful and multiply your own research.

Never give your identity for just an airdrop, don't put to risk your identity for just a small amount of money in return, no one knows if they have something bad intention to your identity, for all the beginners out there, if you have encountered an airdrop which is asking you to give your identity or KYC then ignore it, just find another airdrop that does not requires KYC or the best thing to do find another way to earn money, airdrop for me is not that too profitable because some airdrop only chooses a limited number of persons to be given the reward.

the only airdrops that allowed me to be happy are the ones I attended without knowing it, the Uniswap one was a really great gift.
I have done many on telegram but nothing and I share the advice to pay attention to the KYC.

It's funny that the theme of 2018 came to life and replete with new colors. Has anyone received this airdrop?
Apparently, in 2018, I also did not dare to go through the verification procedure, as a result of which I did not receive anything. I wonder if it is still possible to get this drop.

it's not possible anymore to get this airdrop and i have received my free ICP from the coinlist airdrop. I can get a few thousand dollars without doing any work and this will be last until 11 months later. You should have paid only $9 to complete the verification and so many people have received their airdrop.
The biggest reward in the history of airdrop. All coinlist airdrop participants have already received their airdrop as well.

Just forget to submit KYC for any airdrop. Top exchange doesn't support it. Looks like I directly sell my information to get some rewards or just for scam coins. OP has been here since 2017 even though he couldn't see the real effect of airdropss. Even so many bounty campaigns offered transaction fees from bounty hunters, all are totally scam.

[nurilham]

If you just get a small number of dollars from that airdrop, it really doesn't worth doing KYC there. It is also too risky for your personal data, you must consider it as well. Most people avoid doing KYC for an airdrop, most of them are just scams. If you prefer your personal data to that small dollars, you should forget it.

[travwill]

I contacted support and received a response. If you did not go through identification in 2018, now it is too late to go through it, and nothing can be done about it.

[Dr.Osh]

$ 9 is too little for that. however, personally I wouldn't do KYC. yeah, but it's up to you. after all it's too risky and it doesn't necessarily have a price tag of $ 9. think again. if the pay was above $ 100 I might think, but I think $ 9 is too little for a KYC. well, DWYOR.

[bakasabo]

It was all about luck that DFINITY airdrop was distributed to those who decided to pass KYC. Such luck wont happen again. Passing KYC to get an airdrop already looks silly and suspicious. But paying to have your KYC checked is simply stupid. As I understand, it was never know how much ICP would cost and those who passed KYC and paid for that must be rich/lucky/like to risk.

[herizal85]

More clearly this is a scam, it's better to just ignore it because the airdrop is a free token that is given to us without having to fill in KYC and without having to send some funds for them.

I am not in favour of projects that require KYC as it spoils my privacy. When your personal data is known for many people it is not very good. On the other hand, if you are not against KYC, you can try as 9$ is not too much. Developers need this money to pay for platforms that help to run this KYC, but actually, it is a free procedure for users usually on different centralised exchanges.
