1. Once u open any Google airdrop form and the first thing u see is "donate 0.01 ETH to receive 100,000 tokens bla bla JUST IGNORE IT. IT IS SCAM.
Note: Airdrops are meant to be FREE!

2. Before you do any SELF AIRDROP at all, first copy the address and scan it on ethplorer.io to see if they are truly sending tokens to people who have donated!

3. The fact that you see from the ethplorer.io scan that people who donated received tokens does not still make the SELF AIRDROP real!

4. Look at the ETH balance of the address you are asked to donate to, if it is not up to at least $2000, just LEAVE IT, IT IS SCAM!

5. Also apart from scanning the ETH address you were asked to donate to, also click and scan the ETH address dispatching tokens to people, you will be shocked to see that most are private eth wallets with other several fake coins inside!

Yes you are right
Avoiding them is better
They end up as scam and worth nonsense when listed on exchange
I guess it’s now a new way of scamming people of Etherum

That’s why Etherum Blockchain needs to be regulated to prevent issues as this

Most AirDrop is to collect customer information and telegram member.
Some newer ways, they ask us to send small amounts of ETH in their wallets, and they will give us tokens.
The token number is mostly garbage.
It's best not to do it.

Yes you are right, it is best not to do those self airdrops
it is definitely mostly scam, they have no website, secret teams

But for some self drop they have beautiful project idea and end up a success just like ENUMIVO

LETS be positive all in all.

Wow. that was insightful and really helpful. Thanks. I really wish this will get more views, let people be aware of things like this, so they don't easily fall for scam and lose their money. The scammers are really doing a lot to get to these people who are working their ass off or their money, and this is really heartbreaking. It's making the market an unsafe place to be.

Airdrops don't really need donation. If it requires , then no need to check their addresses because that's 100% fake. That's why I only signed up for airdrops don't require donation.

Thank you for sharing the information, I think I can add some, if there are any airdrops asking for your private key or asking for identification, personal photos, etc. then this is a fake airdrop!

yes dear, the is fucking truth about most of the airdrops because what i m seeing now is that most people due create airdrops by them self and be asking people to donate and have there token, one you may donate and receive the airdrops but it will never be listed on exchange whereas just like dump to you because we can't make use of it. even all the process are you listed above are confirm. what i m trying to say is that we should stay clear from any airdrops because many have been complaining of hack. now in summary any airdrops you were asked to signin your mails and the rest.. please don't sign-in that is other ways of hacking people through airdrops and the rest.

Have met a few of the supposed send 0 or send 0.01 eth to received certain amount of token
And this has pleased me immensely
What we probably can do I’m not sure

But I learn daily from the site and hopefully
I continue to learn
