HOW CAN ONE KNOW A FAKE AIRDROP?

[NoG-NoG]

Well I think one way for you to determine whether an airdrop is a legit one and not a bogus or fake airdrop is by doing a thorough research before participating on it so that you may be able to earn a good profit on it.

not very clear, but you can see from the website, the development roadmap or the estimated token being shared.
it doesn't make sense for a project to distribute $ 1 million in airdrop tokens.
or providing an amount similar to or more than 10% of the total supply.

[Valzador]

It's easy to distinguish real airdrops from those that don't. You need to see the track record of projects that hold airdrops. If the project is already well-known and is not looking for money, then it is certain that the airdrop is a real airdrop compared to projects that have never entered an exchange.

I also suffering in same problem

Nowadays it is very difficult to know a genuine airdrop.

[Fredomago]

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.

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.

It's no longer effective in my point of view, scammers are already doing the copycat of true project. They can imitate easily how real developers build their websites.

Most of the time, hunters are all relied with luck following or participating with any projects who offered this bounties.

Keep yourself well aware and stop providing important information such as KYC and if there's any fees  most probably it will turned to scammed out.

It depends on what you are willing to spend your time on: checking upon a project or fulfilling an airdrop form)) you could fulfill two or more forms faster that do research on 1 project) take it easy)

[bitcoinnami]

You can count on several factors to evaluate an airdrop project
1. Website
2. Project team
3. Value
4. Technology ...

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.

It is very sad to see that I took part in many airdrops and none of them have been distributed. I fear about the bounties too that they will be the same and these that I took part in I get nothing. My ETH wallet is empty and I am one year now trying to do all airdrops and some bounties. Maybe I picked the wrong ones but I will have some more patience for the bounties.

It's not easy to spot fake airdrops, because sometimes they look perfect but they turn out to be scams. But I will mention a few
things that show the characteristics of fake airdrops for consideration when going to joining airdrops. Among others simple Websites,
without a whitepaper, promising large numbers of airdrops, admin projects are not active and social media is too spamming. If the
airdrops you are participating in have the characteristic I have mentioned, better avoid following these airdrops. Because most likely
the airdrops are fake.

[bakasabo]

When I see that airdropped tokens or coins have a $ value, while they are not trade (example - join airdrop and get XXX tokens (5.5$ worth) or something similar to that) I immediately skip them as they are 99% fake, scam or worthless. I would say, that most of airdrops that run by telegram bots are fake and created just to make projects telegram group look bigger. I would not trust telegram channels or pages, that collects info about airdrops and share it with other. All of this is made just to build a referral database (for group or page owner) with hope that airdroped altcoin really have a value in future.

You have lost nothing if your KYC remains fre but if all those airdrops you joined ask KYC and you have given them?then i think you should be aware of losing while the scammers won over you.
they can sell your details in any 3rd party services in which data's of those airdroppers has been used.
and you will be surprise that one of these days?too may emails will come to you lol.

[Memminger]

It is hard to know which airdrop is fake but we could always keep ourselves safe by avoiding airdrops that required our personal information or have a KYC policy before they accept you on their list of participants.
We should also avoid the airdrops that requires payment in order to receive their token/coin no matter how small it is.

Nowadays crypto world is surrounded by fake airdrop.
It is very difficult to know the real one from the fake.
For this I think you should join the legit airdrop group which provide genuine airdrop all time.

[arbifahrozy]

There is so much fraud airdrops & projects in telegram. If they offer something that make no sense it's obviously a scam. If someone want to participate on airdrop go find a legit project. Im sure you will get an airdrop reward.

Then do you know which is the original airdrop group? If you know, try to share the link here so that people in this forum can enter the original airdrop group, because many telegram groups are fake at this time.

There are many ways but there are a few quick ways I can suggest you to avoid any fake airdrops

- A coin being given away too much by the team usually means the coin is never going to gain any value because they are giving away too much.

- Owners trying to make OTC deals at dam cheap prices, it sounds weird but a lot of times airdropped coins are being sold privately to investors so look out for that.

- No development and prior planning by the team

There are many other ways to detect a fraud airdrops but just keep an eye on their development, their team, their actions and if they are being too casual giving out coins, avoid at any cost.

 Every day i get a lot of telegrams and emails from airdrop. They give me many tempting  offers. But they are almost all -fake airdrop.  Their websites, social media, whitepapers are all random.

[Tamim121]

You need to know the team and the project in the beginning. Then you can see that is their coin listed any exchanger or not. Few days ago i was fall in a fake airdrop. They ask me transaction fee. But I don't send them that money. Because i was understand that this airdrop must be fake. Then some days later my thinking came true.

[BlackFor3st]

Success of airdrop is very less and if you can receive an airdrop from a genuine project then there is a very good chance that you can only receive a small share. But everything
is possible in crypto like what happen to UNI airdrop where the airdrop participants get 2k$ each.

There is no guarantee that you can fully avoid the fake airdrop but to be able to to at least lessen the chance to join a fake airdrop then you should check the background of the
project whether they have a good team, good partners, good response from the forum members or users, their whitepaper and etc.

[zidanw]

Just don't participate to airdrops most of them are not worth your time also some of them doesn't really reward you they might just use the users to have more followers, like, retweet on their promoting page maybe before it's good to participate in airdrops but now i don't think it's worth your effort.
