HOW CAN ONE KNOW A FAKE AIRDROP?

[rajakulam]

to take part in the airdrop now is not the same as before, for me the results of following the airdrop now are just a waste of time because most of the coins given are trash coins that have no market, if you want to find out about fake airdrops you can find some performance information about the airdrop

Anytime I go into my telegram account, I see countless number of airdrop with countless offers but the challenge is trying to know which of this airdrop that is genuine.

The genuine airdrop will always be running by reputable party and in this case reputable party means the party who has already known by a lot of people. If you were seeing the airdrop that was asking your identity and you should not join on it.
It has a very big probability to be the scam airdrop only. The airdrop from the unknown coin must not be trusted too.
Remember avoid to deal with

Airdrop hunting is almost dead now, I know a lot of people are still applying for airdrops but it isn't worth it anymore as these aren't profitable anymore because of the increase in number of users that are in it for quick profit. I guess it will be better to rank up a twitter or Facebook account and use that account for these purposes as it will be more profitable than applying for 100s of worthless coins that will be filling your wallet and not having any future at all. Right now most of the airdrops are complete scam and they on't even be listed on any exchange in the future.

It is complicated to find out the scam projects. But one can try to find out some basic clues to know whether it is scam or legit such as whitepaper information, their twitter,linkedin account activity. Their website development information,aim and conception of their projects etc. One have to research those before joining.

Most of the fake airdrops used airdrops bot, and if they ask anything that you need to send any amount of ETH, or Bitcoin for you to be able to receive the coin don't listen to them or don't send any coins if you don't want to regret in the end. This is most often happened in the fake giveaways or airdrops.

Unltil you've joined all of them, you wouldn't know which one is fake or not. You need to gather some experience from those airdrops as long as you avoid those airdrops that involved depositing money from your wallet to win some giveaway. Just join all of them and when you finished you will see some will pay and will not. It's the same for the bounties and you will not be disappointed as long as you only doing it for the sake of gathering experience. later on you will know the important of trying to joined them all so that when a new Airdrop has launched you will have some idea whether it's fake or legit.

Determining a legit airdrop from a scam can be challenging especially when you got the hots for that sweet sweet coin. The way i do it is i check their groups and site and even whitepaper if there is available. Just try not to rush on to the next freebie you could find.

To tell you the truth, it can be hard sometimes to tell the good ones from the fake airdrops. I look for a well written whitepaper, if they don't have this you shouldn't bother by signing up or doing tasks for them. Often they only wants you maillist, or your twitter, or your facebook details.

Fake airdrops are everywhere right now. Trying to ride the hype of the development of crypto. My way to spot fake airdrops is by checking the website of the project saying they have airdrop. Fake ones are not usually refined and information are either copied from other projects. Check also the team running it. Fake ones normally just put profile of people not even involved in the crypto industry.

[Aqcizromencez]

for me it's hard to tell what's good and what's fake and scammers with airdrops were around a few years ago, simply check on social media and their official announcements if it's a little suspicious then don't join.

Anytime I go into my telegram account, I see countless number of airdrop with countless offers but the challenge is trying to know which of this airdrop that is genuine.

Most of the times, I find myself in different telegram groups and when I check around I will realize they are hosting one airdrop or the other; to me such airdrop isn't to be trusted. Also, nowadays I see many airdrops flying around and when checked, I will realize that their twitter page was just created recently, not even upto a month; to me, such airdrop isn't to be trusted. In addition, I do see some airdrops which the admin of the group will create a form, limit the number of participants so as to make it look serious while creating unnecessary hype, people will rush the airdrop, then presale will start and people will still invest only for the admin to lock the group and exit scam.

Going through telegram, a lot is happening, people are joining many fake airdrops, people are getting scammed and so on. Now when looked at all these airdrops and projects, one thing was clear, they lacked whitepaper, no website nor visible team, what they have is just a telegram group.
 
So from my little explanation, fake airdrops from a project will lack the neccessary information to show if the project is legit or not.

Airdrop can be lucrative, but it portrays a huge role in the world of scammers. It has become their method for the past few years and up until now. Therefore, you need to be careful and evaluative. By identifying the credibility of an airdrop, you can review the details of the project on the official website. You can also gather further information on their social media platforms that will support their announcement that they are implementing an airdrop.

Often times the white paper is also plagiarised and the project seems obviously fake which is definitely a red flag and hence that airdrop is to be avoided, other than that I research about the team members on LinkedIn and other platforms where if they are active then it is a positive sign and thus I take part in those airdrops. Out of the airdrops that I have selected only a few give me good profit and others are just like doing work for a few pennies.

[Icologies]

there are many ways to find fake airdrops if the airdrop it uses a famous project maybe you can visit social media or official telegram
you can ask there and of course you will get a direct answer from the team, that's what I usually do

[btcltcdigger]

You need to look beyond your greed.

Any airdrop that requires you to join channels which are muted, are SCAM.
Any airdrop that offers $1000 of coins just for liking or joining, are SCAM.
Any project that had it's website created within the last few days, but is conviniently hosting a public sale in a day or two, are a SCAM

[ScamViruS]

In many ways scammers create fake airdrop. Newcomers to the crypto market may not understand these strategies at first, as a result of which they fall into the trap of scammers.

• When an airdrop asks you for money for some kind of fee or something else then it is a scam.
• Those who want a private wallet key in the form to join airdrop is a scam, because later they will get access to your wallet.
• If you have to give personal data to do kyc to get airdrop, then it is also a scam.
• If kyc is mandatory to get airdrop, it is a scam, because scammers create these traps to steal your personal data. Your personal data can be misused by scammers in the future, so be careful.

Because no real airdrop wants this information to join airdrop, fees, personal data and the private key of the wallet.

Here is my little advice: don't rely on airdrops. "Bountydetective" manager is losing a good projects reputation but still he has some legit airdrop in his bounty telegram group. I hope you didn't miss the Uniswap 400 UNI airdrop. Here you also have so many airdrop posts, although you are newbies literally you will know how to find them.

[harapan]

to be honest I am very difficult to distinguish between genuine and fake airdrops but in essence, during the airdrop it doesn't ask us to send a small amount of money in my opinion it's legal because we don't lose anything

[desticy]

To do this, you need to carry out ANALYSIS.
Go to the project website, check what is written there for plagiarism, check the team for real existence, check the team for fakes, check the partners for their existence and for the existence of the project's links with partners.
Do the same for white paper and other project documentation. Search and you will find.
