Hi everybody,
Lately I am reading a lot of posts asking: is this airdrop a scam? Is that free ICO a scam?
So I am wondering how can something that doesn't cost you a penny be a scam. Sure, they get your email adress and maybe a ETH Adress, but how can you really be scamed with only this informations? I am not talking about airdrops that require kyc registration, that for sure can be dangerous.
Cheers,

Of course it can be. Scam is a fraudulent act. If people were going to take your means with fraud, but they did not succeed, it does not remove any charges from them. In addition, in forms of airdrops very often asked to specify a private key from the wallet or go to the fishing link ..

Any rewards committed which was did not turn into reality is still a scam. We dont need to make an investment to consider it as a scam. And this scenario is very rampant these days. I think there are things to be done to minimize this. Because this might pull down the credibility of the crypto world.
