Comrades, I need your opinion. I signed up for an airdrop from the DFINITY project, which promises to send coins for an amount equivalent to 100 CHF. At the same time, they ask to participants to pay $ 9 for the passage of KYC. It seems to me that this is a fraud, but what do you think?
Can the project require money for the passage of KYC and should I do it?
Airdrop is a means of introducing a project to the crowd and with an airdrop, the developer will be able to form a community to build their project, but if an airdrop charges gas token delivery fees to the airdrop participants, it is certainly questionable about the authenticity of their project, I think most Airdrops that ask for rewards from participants for sending tokens are fraudulent airdrops that we should avoid, after all there is no guarantee that after we send a certain amount of money in the form of usdy / eth they will send tokens to us and it could be that the tokens sent have no value in the market. so my advice is better just forget about airdrops like that.
well, I agree that about kyc, maybe it can still be done, but if you ask for money or a fee, it's better to forget it, because airdrops should be given free of charge to improve the community, and if they ask for money then their goal is wrong.
