Much appreciate your time.

I think you should move this to board investigation or scam accusations.

Also you should provide more information about the company name, team, etc.

The more information you provide, the better. Also, why are you suspicious about this project?

I never join campaigns which have shorten link and require to log in with email. It is not safe.

Would you consider this as a shorter link? Why is log in with email not safe? They send you OTP I think.

Thanks didn’t know such board.

The company name is TokenBacon and I think they are company based in Taiwan also has a developed chain called Bacon chain with public sidechain. And because I never got to involved in any airdrop. I’m curious if this is a scam.

I have just checked it. It NOT almost look like a scam project. But you can decide that is worth to join and careful with shorten link.

Be careful with those type of link.

I navigated my cursor on the shortened link and I think its a telegram channel but still be careful.

Yes, it doesn't seem to be a scam straight away but it doesn't seem a good deal neither.

There are just a few legit airdrops right now, the other ones just want to get your data or get you into pump and dump schemes. DYOR and join only legit projects with great communities and high activity not only in private Telegram, that can be manipulated, but on bitcointalk and other social media too.

I think its just another way they want to grow their twitter page. But it sure looks like scam.

No one can easily judge the possibility of fraud in any project. If you are suspicious of this project, please give it up!

Whether its a way to grow their twitter page still that's suspicious, using a link shortener? why would they have to do that though it normally happens today.

Hello dear, I believe you are a newbie as such can't differentiate between a legit and scam airdrops..  The link you posted is a scam airdrop and it is asking you to use email to join directly... 


Firstly they are claiming to be Monacoin... Which is false,  Monacoin is already trading and you can always check an already trading coin/token that is claiming to do airdrops via Coinmarketcap.com, this will guide you to the project website and social medias... 


Well I went through Monacoin website and got their reddit account..  Please don't fall for such drops, they will hack your mail and other things to get through to your token either via exchange or anyone..  And another advise,  never use emails used for airdrops for other important things..  I hope you understand me...  Here is the real Monacoin reddit Link  https://www.reddit.com/r/monacoin/ you can ask more questions.

How many times must we tell newbies? Stay away from airdrops, ICOs, alt-coins, etc. Until you have a degree in cryptography you are not going to understand why almost all alts are scams. Once you do figure it out you will wish you had just bought bitcoin.

Appreciate your thoughtful feedback on this and will be careful for those airdrops. But I don’t think they tend to claim they are Monacoin as their Twitter is nameed and also branded as TokenBacon obviously. They are using Monacoin to Get their Twitter numbers up. But that’s also understandable seems this is part of marketing strategy that every ICO company would use as far as I can tell....let me know if I’m wrong?

Sorry I’m not an expert in the area. What worth more than bitcoin. You are right. Im interested in cryptography btw

If this airdrop is free you can join it and see if they gonna give you Monacoin or not and you can decide after that if you gonna sell it or not

All ICO projects and advertisements are likely to be scams. No one can give you an accurate answer. If you are suspicious of it, then stay away from it!

[superving]

I dont participate in airdrops specially airdrops in twitter, like and retweet just to increase thier followers and gain some popularity. But in the end it will turn into scam.

I think people shouldn't judge a project whether it's a scam or not just by its marketing campaign.
I've just read TokenBacon's white paper and I think you can read it before you consider this project as a scam.
