When I do Airdrop project, in my opinion, I notice that there are many scam project, for example:
1. 50% project about ETH platform is scam or trash due to the fee of creation (it's too cheap).
2. Some airdrops require us to charge fee GAS before they pay airdrop coin. We should care with it.
3. Some airdrops send us an email to KYC and follow us to a fake side.
...

Any scam methods, please share your experiences in this thread. Thankyou so much

Thank you for this information mate. I myself have been frustrated lately in the airdrop campaigns because most of the them are scams and not would be able to pay me at all on my finished tasks. That is why I spare my time now mostly in bounty campaigns which are signature and social media campaigns wherein they pay most of the time is on time and good.

Thank for your sharing. Bounty require more hard work than airdrop, some of them is really hard for newbie. But it's a good option.

Yes you correctly have made that have focused attention on this topic.Indeed a lot of scams under the guise of airdrop collect information about You.That's why I don't participate in all airdrop.If the company is good and it conducts transparent airdrop, then you can easily participate.

Some airdrops just collect information about you. When you enter your wallet they look at your balance and if you have a lot of money in your wallet they can try any way you steal them. You have to be careful not to keep all the money in one wallet.

A bad thing about bounties is that there are many scams around. The team behind them might just be in for the money. A way of identifying the scams is if you take a look at the team of the project. If it is a scam, you probably won't find much information about the founders.

In airdrop project, we rarely find out about the founders. But to invest for long time, we should make clearly this issue. Good idea. Thankyou so much.

I try not to participate in AirDrops where I need to pass KYC. Even if you are paid these coins, it will be about $ 10-100. It's not worth your passport details. I also do not participate in AirDrops, where you yourself about prepayment should pay the fee

3. Some airdrops send us an email to KYC and follow us to a fake side.
They are only collecting information from their airdroppers and everyone should be warned and aware about that.

Don't be also get fooled if they are asking airdroppers to pay or send a little amount of ETH direct to their address, it's a scam. Airdrops should be free and without payment.

Also don't give them your private keys if they ask to.

That's realy good source of info....  Its very difficult to earn here honestly....  We need to take a risk a to exert a lots of time in searching to make sure that we are not in a wrong way...  Yeah I honestly agree to you a lots of airdrop that emerged now which is scam.... We must be aware of it....  Before its to late....  Everyone should be always updated here especially for us a begginer .... Proper making a decision is best....  Trust you instinct if you feel what your doing is right then stop it....  There a lots of available bounty and airdrops which legit....

Nice pieces of info. To be fooled from sweet advertisements from the projects team. They might be catchy and interesting but there something behind it. Another one that indicates the that project is an obvious scam is they ask for private key. Everyone must be aware of that. Hopefully no one click on the bait. Thanks for the info, helpful for newbies.

The information is really useful! It is especially dangerous when such a project requires to pass the KYC system!  You risk to provide your data to scammers!

I do not use airdrops for earnings, I think that they have lost their relevance due to the large number of scammers. But even if the project is a real, very great chance that you will not be paid your tokens without any reason.

Yeah your correct and I think in the first look it's difficult to identify those scam projects as they are now improving their strategy. Anyway with our help in this community we can warn in advance.

We must also be able to analyze a new project, because of the possibility there is also a great project to end up with a scam I think we could examine first before you join a project

A lot of emails are being sent to me about the KYC in airdrops and its a total shit, be careful on clicking links. Not just in airdrops but in everything here in cryptoworld, bounty can also be a scam so take time to read about the ICO, ask for some details and ask for your friends to help you know if the project is a scam or not.
