[cute nmp]

Well it is not that easy to diffenciate between a fake airdrop and a genuine one the best thing to do is to make a research about the project itself ,go through their whitepaper and try to know even a little about the team members before engaging in any airdrop to avoid promoting scams.

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.

See what the task you have to done, if there is some task who ask you a personal identity it is not worth at all. Although the airdrop is legit and pay all participant at the end but it is not worth if you pay with your personal identity, avoid this airdrop.

The airdrop event only has a few task and it doesn't need a long time to complete all the task. So, I don't think you need to know the airdrop is scam or not, just be cateful with the airdrop who ask you personal identity then you have to leave it.

First of all i think that most so called airdrops nowadays are no real airdops anymore because for most of them you have to follow twitter or do something else.
Real airdrops are for free. You just enter your adress and get free tokens.
Yesterday is saw warnings in telegram about a fake airdrop that deletes you telegram account if you click on the telegram link.
So i would always double check if an airdrop is for real or not. In telegram and on the internet.

Currently most of the Airdrop is a scam, sometimes we are lucky to get tokens that can be sold but the value is low, not worth the current cost of ETH gas.
We can also get Airdrops that are worth hundreds of USD or more, it's just that it's very rare. (1 in 1000).

To assess a valuable Airdrop, of course we have to look at their website, and see their detailed project information then make their own decisions about the airdrop, if you are having trouble maybe this site can help you assess an Airdrop.

I think it is obvious for an airdrop to be a fake. It is very suspicious for an airdrop if the airdrop rewards is so very big and unrealistic. Perhaps, big rewards may attract people but it could also be the reason that the people wiuld be suspicious and could just fall into a fake airdrop. Also it is very suspicious if the task is so many, and the social media accounts are also fake auch that it is only made to have more followers, and then in the long run they wouldn't give rewards.

Airdrops contain many fake airdrops; However, it is sometimes very difficult to determine which is the fake airdrop. Before joining any airdrop to be free from fake airdrops, do a thorough search of its website, LinkedIn and other social media and white papers; Hopefully you will understand a lot about fake airdrops. You can also join a telegram airdrop group, where different airdrops are discussed; From there you can find valid airdrops and find airdrop scams.

My first indicator of a fake airdrop is KYC. I have some friends saying that if an airdrop demands KYC most likely it is fake and just hunting for peoples information to sell into the dark web. You will know if an airdrop is real if it is from a legitimate company so you must search deeply on the companies background first.

lately I joined airdrop blindly without thinking about whether the airdrop was a scam or not, why did I do that? because the airdrop task is very easy and I also don't want to waste time just researching airdrops
as long as we are not harmed then I think it's legal

you are not harmed but you likely joined an illegal airdrop . even if you say that you dont care , you are helping these scammers to reach to the other people and what if those people are weak and they are going to invest . they can get scammed but you wont still care with them anyway and they are also responsible for it because its thier action . you still waste your time joining scam airdrop even by not researching or by doing easy task because they arent still going to pay you but if you will only research , your effort are not going to get wasted and you can also earn good profit .

Less than 1% of airdrop is genuine. So don't waste your time to find the legit one. Also the payment of airdrop is very low which sometimes don't meet the transaction fee. Better you control users who can add you in different telegram groups.

Yes, but even though less than 1% of the airdrop is genuine, everyone of course has to always do a search in order to get good money, because without doing anything it is clear that everyone will get nothing, because with the search that we do, we too will know how many allocations and how long.

I'm not sure if there are still legit airdrops after 2017 bull market, nowadays 90% of all the airdrops are scam,if you are looking for a way to identify a fake and a real airdrop then just know they are not much difference BTW them, but one of the ways I identify a fake airdrop is when participants are been asked to donate a certain amount of crypto (maybe in eth) in exchange for their airdrop token, stay away from such airdrops, normally airdrop is a free money sometimes they just require you to just follow them on Twitter or like their Facebook page, they shouldn't be asking for some crypto in exchange for their token, so stay away from such airdrops.

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.

Basically you have to think that if you participate in 100 airdrops, 99 airdrops are scam. From my personal opinion in the last couple of years, i have only received 3 airdrops which is acutally worth in the market and the rest are cheaters who didn't send me tokens. So there is no machine yet to determine which airdrop will pay you or which will not pay. You have to do with your own will.

[deathcode]

I can conclude that fake airdrop projects have criteria such as easy requirements, offering token prizes of hundreds of dollars or even thousands of dollars, requiring participants to do KYC, sending ETH gas fees to claim airdrop tokens, and many other criteria. and you need to avoid if you find this kind of airdrop.

airdrop as you said there are indeed many scams. even disadvantage participants. from several telegram groups, we can also see it. there is also via email that out of nowhere they get our email and send continuously new airdrops that do not generate money.

[husencoe]

now it's a bit difficult to determine the original airdrops, because in general airdrops are now a lot of scams, I personally don't focus anymore on looking for and participating in airdrops, because most airdrops now, if not a scam, then the coins given are shitcoin

[Etoasiatsxxx]

It's hard to determine whether it is fake or not but you can research about their project by viewing their websites and social medias accounts.

If airdrops are worth and real it will make some noise on bitcointalk and other social media so don't waste your time by claiming every airdrop you see on telegram because 99% of them will be fake ones.There is no one rule to find whether the airdrop is real or fake but if you have the analytical skills to evaluate a project then it will help you in finding the real airdrop as well.

That's probably true,

but the moment that we can see it on bitcointalk that the certain airdrop is being talked about, the airdrop is probably finished by that time. It only means that it is hard to know fake airdrops and legit ones.

If you are talking about UNI tokens airdrop, it is only announced after the timeline period ended so no one really knows that it was coming but now scammers take advantage of uniswap and trying to imitate the same with same name or replica of it.

If users can't sell their tokens or if this isn't listed on coinmarketcap then is better to stay away from that airdrop because those are coins without value. Maybe in the future, those coins get a value, but that's a bet, maybe the coin never gets listed.

Or take a quick look at their website, you will already get impression if the project is fake or not. Because if they do have generic content, high likely that they are just fake. But if they have solid foundation and all the documentation is there, probably they are running a legit project but you need to study more on this project.

the point is in yourself, make it a habit to do analysis before joining anything, and don't be easily tempted by big rewards.
to good to be true.
The first thing we have to do is we have to be realistic and not easily provoked by airdrop offers that promise big rewards. second, make sure you analyze before joining, whether it's an official airdrop by checking the official account of the project in question. third, a fake airdrop will ask you to send some funds under the pretext of being an activation or transaction fee, my advice if someone asks for such funds immediately leave and report the account.

[maryanti]

That's right, I also don't know why I was in the telegram group informing me of the airdrop.
And the airdrop group has entered my telegram account with not a small amount.
I do not understand incoming airdrops, while I have never joined a telegram airdrop group.
Fake airdrop or not, I don't like about airdrops, obviously wasted my time.
