Well some airdrops are real while others are scams .The best way to know whether an airdrop is real or fake is to make a research about the project like visiting their social media channels,website and telegram and in that way if you are lucky you will be able to choose the right one.Most genuine airdrop don't ask you send funds or buy their tokens so just be careful and take note.

Basically if that airdrop come from known Crypto just check their official telegram account and website, If it's real there will be always information on that if not then i was scam. For some new project it's little bit hard, You need to research like looking their team, whitepaper, roadmap, etc. Same when you want to join bounty or investing, Good luck and be careful!

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.
Treat them as most of them aren't going to do good. And when you join one of them and starts to ask you Ethereum for them to send you and shoulder the network fee, it's already an answer to know if that airdrop is fake or scam. Just because there's one big airdrop that happened on Uni, still, I don't think that airdrops are still a thing this time.

Actually, if we do research properly, such as looking at websites, whitepapers, project teams and social media. So we can conclude that the airdrops are fake or real. But most people follow airdrops based on the hype that is happening, So it's only natural that in the end a lot of people take part in fake airdrops.

Very many such airdrops, maybe even hundreds or thousands. I am not very interested in following it because it is mostly a scam. I prefer to follow the airdrop held by an exchange or also held by a trusted BM like bountydetective
Fake airdrops are still rampant nowadays as they continue to scam people particularly for those who are still newbies in the market. There are really airdrops that are almost tempting based on their tricks and if we let them lure us, we will fall into victims. Once airdrops ask for our money first so they can send their tokens, it's totally a fake one. Airdrops should be sending their free tokens without asking for payments from us. Do not be fooled with these fake airdrops by being careful and vigilant at all times.

It actually can be tough sometimes to determine whether an airdrop is fake or not. I usually look through there website, LinkedIn, and whitepaper(if available) to determine whether the project is legit. I don't participate in KYC unless I 100% believe in the project.
But even this is not enough, it's more tougher than bounty campaign when I was active in airdrops and giveaway I usually check the telegram channel and see how they interact with people asking about their project, so many bounty airdrops are anonymous because they are not asking for money and this is their big defense.

It can be difficult to determine if an airdrop is fake. I advise you to review their website, LinkedIn and white paper (if any) to determine if the project is legal or not.I also advise you not to participate in KYC if you do not believe in the project 100%.

Always verify if the airdrop is real by following the project's social media sites or checking their website. You can also ask directly their team in platform where they're often online like on TG to make sure.
Anyways you can join in any airdrop as many as you want but its better to use a new email specifically for airdrop and dont comply to their kyc because your details might get compromise so stay away to this kind of airdrop.

We cannot really tell whether an airdrop is fake or legit but my idea and I know some of the hunters also think that the lesser value of the airdrop is highly a legit airdrop while if an airdrop is offering a high value then it is most likely a fake airdrop.

Most of the time, determine genuine airdrop is really hard to find. However in my own experience, I constantly check their website, and whitepaper if any. But as long as they don't ask your private key, there is nothing more seriously.

There is a simple solution,if the airdrop don't ask for your KYC then just join them and besides you have to lose nothing on this airdrop. The problem only starts when they are asking for KYC but in the end paying nothing. prevent from being Noob and once promising too much rewards then more or less?it is a scam.

Airdrop is totally free, if you see a project when you must pay to claim this is not airdrop. I detect airdrop by checking their website, social fanspage, whitepaper and team behind the project.

It will be a hard time knowing whether an airdrop is legitimate or not. Usually, their papers are too good to believe and in wrong grammar. You can prevent yourself from joining in fake airdrops by being observant.

I think it depends on what are you ready to waste your time on: going through the project's info or filling in the airdrop form (liking, tweeting, subscribing, copying links. whatever). If you spend your time on research and find out the project is a scam you'll lose your time anyway. And then you have to start all over again. So fill in that form and let it go.

I prefer the last point which is not asking for funds or buying the tokens, from there we know that the project is giving free airdrops. If you find an airdrop form, you just fill it according to the question, but don't fill out the form with privacy data. A lot of airdrops do ask for the documents like proof of identity for confirming that you are a real person as now a days most people are claiming the airdrops by making a lot of alt accounts and bots. I guess if I think that the airdrop is actually a good project and not another crap project then I will definitely give my documents to them for the verification purposes along with a watermark in the picture that is for what purpose this document was used so as to be safe from identity theft and misuse of that image if it falls into wrong hands.

When you say Airdrops in Telegram, I already knew that it is already a scam because they are mostly bots, and only showing you fake earnings on your account. Sometimes they also asked you KYC or proof of identity, that is why it is sometimes suspicious to participate in airdrops nowadays. Airdrops nowadays are not that profitable or will help you to become rich, so it is not worth to participate with.

If you're added to an airdrop group on telegram without your consent, it's always a scam most times. That's an easy sign. Genuine airdrops run on referrals and not coercing people into groups. Secondly, if an airdrop demands you pay a certain amount of money to get a code to claim your supposed earning (no matter how small the amount is), please run. It's obviously a scam. Lastly, be weary of any airdrop that asks for a KYC. Once the demand extends an email and ERC wallet address, don't do it.

You must join a group that specifically talks about airdrops, because if you are looking for an airdrop yourself, the possibility of being caught in an airdrop scam is very large, and if you have joined the telegram airdrop group, there you will find a way to find legit airdrop, and usually you will find out the airdrop scam or not from the discussion there.

It's not easy to tell if the coin is fake or not, or some kind of airdrop bot. and usually a fake airdrop bot will be detected a scam after many users report that the project is fake. For example UNIBOT at that time, after the party ended, UNI botV2 airdrop appeared and people flocked to Join in it but after a few days the airdrop was detected as SCAM and the scammer had pocketed 4 ETH from fake bot.

A lot of these airdrops are hardly worth the effort in my opinion. The ones that are fake pay of course nothing, but even many that are not fake pay very little or close to nothing. I've seen very few lately that pay alot, and therefor I can't really see why people bother to join to maybe get a dollar or so.
well, if you already know that there are losses experienced by many participants because the price is too cheap and sometimes they don't give results from what the airdrop participants have done, so in my opinion you have to be more selective in determining the airdrop and dont wasting your time to work that has no results.
