Before opening this topic I think by the title that maybe there some money-making tips remain in the post. But it is not yes you are right about the recent airdrop. Most of them are fake and looking to steal people's money and personal information. And most of the victims are who are newbies and highly searching the way of earning money online. But newbies should care about their personal information. And this post will be a good lesson for newbies.

The title of the thread is really different on the content that you have said, saying about "Are you a newbie looking for how to make btc and thereum? is really different on having a content about airdrop, but anyway, most of the beginners always grab the opportunity on that airdrop because that what it should be, as a normal people we also should grab the opportunity especially this airdrop because it is an easy money. But always make sure that you are trying the legit airdrop because most of them are not legit and will lead you to scam, and the worst thing it that you may lose your money if you input some of yours.

But newbies should care about their personal information. And this post will be a good lesson for newbies.

The information that they will going to give on that airdrop can be use by scammers and hackers on some purposes, it may result on identity theft.

Are you just trying to increase the number of your post count for the week? If no, why then are you repeating what exactly was mentioned by the first responder and I have edited the tittle already.

things may have been different a couple of years ago like in 2013  but nowadays whenever someone is giving away something (seemingly) for free there is always a catch. usually they want something in return like what OP says (personal information) but also sometimes they are after the bitcoins you may already have. and to do that there is a lot of malware being spread as "wallets" of the said coin which the user has to download if they want to receive the "free" coins. and as they do their computer is infected and they lose their bitcoins.

[ScamViruS]

Yes you are right. Everyone is attracted to Airdrop because it is easy money. It can be earned without any effort. Not everyone wants to miss out on this opportunity. But this is their misconception. Taking advantage of this greed of the people, the scammers take their various information. I have seen many times, some airdrop have taken people's kyc information. Newbies give their important information to scammers without realizing it. Scamming money through Airdrop is a very popular scamming system. Every day I watch fake giveaway videos on youtube. So everyone should stay away from such airdrop and giveaway.

Not surprisingly, because this is a common occurrence in the crypto room and cases like this have occurred a long time ago. But if you are several years before this, there may be many airdrops that produce and look legit.

Sometimes, they are out to get your personal information like email address, etc and sell it out for money.
Some of them will tell you to send some amount of BTC or ethereum to their address as fee for you to get the aclaimed airdrop reward of which they will later run away and mute their telegram channel.

If you can find an airdrop program like that, report it and stay away and never send your details there. Fraud efforts through the airdrop program I think are not new, although it often happens but it is good because you try to remind other beginners to be careful.

Remember, never give your details to get a few dollar from Aridrop and I think the amount will not be proportional to the security of your personal information.

The airdrop program is only to retrieve their data which is so easily attracted by a small reward and this is only done by beginners who do not know what they are doing KYC just like that even though personal data is very important compared to the wage of dollar which is not much. the biggest airdrop now for $ 10 is also bullshit.

Scamer always makes a way to do what they want while the hunters, if there is an airdrop, do the action right away and don't do research first so that's what makes newbi trapped.

Need to avoid airdrop that is not very clear.

[nakamura12]

I won't recommend joining airdrops as it is not the best way to earn money. Most of it are scams so it is much better to use any skills you have and then you' surely earn money. Your skill will be your basis in what you will do. There are some people with skills and they use it on crypto which really help them what they want to do. Take note that joining airdrop is not the only way to earn crypto.

Not all members understand the correct airdrop and some airdrops look the same so when passing through without realizing avoiding the actual airdrop. Of course, some methods are needed to predict airdrop scammers and bounty scammers too.

This is my own method to detect scam airdrops and bounties.

1.) The first thing is check the website and the Team Profile verify if they are real people and has knowledge with crypto and the field of expertise. In most cases a scam website only shows the token sales and what wallet address you need to send your money.

2) 2nd the most common tool for scammers are Google Form they used it to pretend that there is an ICO airdrop this is commonly seen in twitter. They are asking for contribution.

3) Next is the Telegram Channel / Telegram Group in most cases newly made are scams. Based on my observation you can say 100 % scam if the group is a supergroup with restrictions in adding bots only admin can add bots if you see any airdrop channels promoter bot then for sure marked it another scam.

4) For me whitepaper , twitter are not the least priority to check. Why? They can easily made it up.

5) And also never share your MEW private keys they will steal your coins with no hesitation.

The best thing is to always verify the airdrop and bounties you are going to participate with.

Additionally, use alternative e-mails for every airdrop submission to be aware of if you are stuck on an airdrop scam

Airdropd were really profitable till late 2017.
The main purpose from conducting airdrop was to raise awareness about new projects and attract investors.
Things changed and scammers discoverd that conducting fake airdrops is the easiest and cheapest way to fool newbies.
In the past, to receive free tokens, all you had to do is to provide your receiving address, now they will ask for personal information (email, id, picture...) or ask you to pay for fees which is ridiculous.

[coupable]

Not to forget that airdrops were a main factor to get more people into the crypto world. Many of the well experienced carreers here started with looking for easy money in bounties and giveaways. But this doesn't make it legit or safe to use.
From what i can tell, during the last three years, most airdrops were made either to scam investors money by promoting a fake token, or it's a sheme for identity thief if the airdrop requires user to submit personal info.

There is nothing totally free in the world. You all have to do something and pay something to get earnings. About personal data, you have to be very careful. There is no guarentee from any company that your personal data won't be sold or breached. Being careful about KYC too.
Using thrown away email is a good alternative for your main email if you want to try using new platforms.
Why KYC is extremely dangerous – and useless

Some of them will tell you to send some amount of BTC or ethereum to their address as fee for you to get the aclaimed airdrop reward of which they will later run away and mute their telegram channel.

It is obviously scam. They use a same scam method like these scammers. Scammers on Youtube. Don't fall into this scam trap and lose money, guys. When you see such scammers, report them to Youtube.

Yes, and I still remember the beginning I jumped into bitcoin also in 2017 and the beginning I know airdrop is quite promising.

But as time goes by the longer the more they are scam,
finally prefer to follow the bounty / campaign at this time.

And I hope the bounty or campaign now doesn't end up like the airdrop trend that used to be a lot of scams

[NavI_027]

Indeed, forget about it once and for all. Don't get trapped on such false hopes. Instead of paying attention on "easy money" schemes, choose to study on how to trade. Whether it is daytrading or hodling, it will be all worth of your time because you know that it was a legit way of earning .

And I hope the bounty or campaign now doesn't end up like the airdrop trend that used to be a lot of scams

Not good either dude. Though I haven't experienced being a bounty hunter, I might say that they are also no longer profitable according to the bad comments from the audiences. Everything change after the ATH. Hmm, what remains the same I think is the sig campaigns (aside from merit requirements) .

Excuse me, selling your email to another is not a problem, you lose nothing here, I use strong password and 2FA for my email, goodluck trying to hack my email, the only thing scammers do with emails is spamming them with lots of phishing links


If you are not greedy you won't fall for these stupid scam tricks, all other scam tricks always end in asking users to make deposit, they will tender something promising though, greed is a bitch

There have been many similar topics like this one, so I think you don't need to present it again. Btw airdrop is still a good option for you to make money, but before participating in airdrops you should do research and should only participate in the airdrop listed at the exchange.

[OasisDre]

The stupid mistakes that people do online is believing that online money is for free, well the fact is money making online is as hard as the offline work too, you have to work hard to earn, so when you come across easy tasks for thousands of dollars why won't that raise your eyebrow? Nothing is for free in this world, you should hate free money, they  are greed wakers, and we have greed in us all, don't we?

Just like what happened in around the year 2017 or bull run before, which a lot of airdrops happened in the Altcoin Section of this forum. Most of them are fake or scam, like maybe you are lucky if out of 10 airdrops there is 1 legit. Although you will receive some altcoins from them there is no value at all or their project is purely fake, fake team members, fake whitepaper, fake roadmap, etc.

If you participate in 100 airdrops in this market, then I think you will succeed with 1-5 airdrops. There are so many shady airdrops and scams in this market they just want to steal our information and will never distribute tokens.
