Bitcoin Forum

   It is quite alarming that a large number of scammers are taking part in various bouty programs to grab coins in other words they are snatching the real one's rights.
what if they get caught? should they be punished?
what are your opinions and suggestions about this dirty trend?

not everyone involved in bounty can follow and complete their work, because of many factors;
1. his project campaigns are numerous
2. busyness in real life
so I think the only rules in the campaign that can prevent scammers

can't understand what you are saything, which kind of people are scammers in your eyes? every bounty program have its rules, people win the rewards by follow the rules, they deserve this, if you mean they are scammers, you should accuse the rules first

Yes they are being caught by the community and given negative trust, participating in most bounties with multiple accounts are prohibited. This is why reguirements of bounty campaings are increased.

I do not think the bounty hunters are scammers since they get their bonus by joining in the signature bounty campaign proposed by the dev team. Also, the ICO project need them to let more people know their projects, that means they have some contribution.

it is obvious that you have taken part in bounty programs. probably you have not seen or noticed a social media campaign's entire results. particularly twitter campaigns.
have a look at this.(twitter sheet)
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TO4muJDD8LUOqp1sIRTs8m80Yh8k_HfbxrR9xuZCmcA/edit?usp=sh
out of 970 participants 255(25%) are bot accounts.
frankly speaking yes i dont appreciate this mess.

Aren't people caught with multiple accounts banned?

And that's what the bounty rules are for. To try to make it enough work that busy people can still do them, but enough work that it's not worth cheating. Obviously there is a line and it's not perfect, but it's an attempt. 

what rules, for instance?? you mean it is just fine?
dude! bounties pay someone for his or her precious time and sincere efforts which they offer. It needs not someone to spend all the day watching a project(in which they have taken part). just get online once a day to complete your tasks. how long may it take? 2 or 3 hours!
consider it as part time work.

bump

I think this is the reason why Campaign Managers are very strict with their rules recently and if found guilty or caught having multiple accounts and are spamming, usually they are given negative trusts which some Managers don't accept when they join campaigns. I think they will ban a certain participant if they are not following the major rules like copy pasting.

I am not a part of any bounty yet. But want to know if giving daily 3 hours, How much one can earn?

It's my first time joining a bounty campaign yesterday so hope I won't get scammed as a first timer. Anyway, I am not sure what punishment they deserve for scamming people but as far as I know you can leave a bad or  good feedback/review on their profile if you have something to say.

I've been thinking that topic is about ICO's who change rules on the go about token payouts.

Hopefully,those who make bounties with multiple accounts will always be found and banned

Well its because its becoming mainstream that most campaigns will become scam. But from what i see today, a lot of ICO are appearing almost everyday, so its quite shady for them because its not always that people will invest in every good platform that they would see in the forum.

I also do not think why they do such a thing.
one account is enough for me to satisfy the desire if we go up to a higher rank and still do it well.
Many accounts will only make us more greedy and forget the struggle.

Very little my friend its not worth it really, but if you're not after the money and you cared about the success of the project then go ahead and join such bounty. Its like you're just advertising some details to their project and making those people who're not aware to such project will get to know this. And this would much likely be one of the reason why these projects reach success since many people will get to know this stuff.

Maybe he means those bounty cheaters who used to farm those altcoin campaigns around but I think he's right with that since its offensive act for the campaign participants to have a farmer who will shared there stakes in the camp. And if one will be caught he deserves a neg trust for sure.

It is not a question if whether these people should get punished or not. They should get punished right after it is proven that they are cheaters. That is automatic. They deserve a red mark or get banned immediately. But I hope the forum also do something to ICOs offering bounties that are either not true to their words and worse escaped from their responsibilities of paying bounty participants.

I see less than 50 participants, where did you see 970 of them?
That's why every bounty has rules. One of the rules for all signature campaigns is - 1 account allowed in 1 campaign, so if someone has two or more accounts and you can prove that he is cheating than he will be negative tagged by default trust users.

the fact remains fact that certain projects turn to be scamming people. In that case the investors suffer a great deal of loss. however what is under discussion here is the bounty hunters. they don't invest in terms of money but in terms of their time and services. Therefore remain safe from greater loss.
I am not mentioning here the projects but the participants, referring that 25% of the participants are unreal or fake.
take a look at this.

less than 50 participants in a twitter campaign lol. nowhere you can see less than 1000 my dear friend. take a closer look.

It seems to me that it's not right and we need to do something. It's not fair when a large number of awards goes to one person.

it is possible to earn som good amount of coins if you join various FB and twitter bounty campaigns of various projects with one real account.
however you can only take part in one signature campaign and wear the avatar or signature of only one project.
All you need to do is to explore some authentic and trusted projects.

ive been scammed on many ico's not once ,not twice but many times no matter how the project looks legit but in the end i dont recieved anything and my efforts are wasted. i think that mods and admin can control these scammers to the forum for a better comunity because its unhealthy.

I understand your point now. However is it the project that is scamming people or those individuals that are participating with fake accounts? From what i see, it is the latter. So i don't think its fair to say these projects are scamming people while they themselves are being scammed. I think its very important for campaign managers to be vigilant and competent as these scams are easy to see.

I hope scammers burn in hell they are not just stealing peoples hard earned money but also giving a bad reputation on investing in cryptocurrency. Also for all the investors please be careful with people/website that are promising  a high amount of returns. Stay away from a deal thats to good to be true. Unless your Nostradamus no one can 100% predict the future of cryptocurrency. I can't remember where but there is a subject here about scam sites try to read it to get familiar on the websites that you may want to avoid.

Poor bounty hunters , sell the coins at lower price, that make ICos bad for investors. I invest in some token, the worst is SCL the price of presale is 0.5 for 375 but the market at ether delta is lower the price of ICo, How can it be?

Scammers in the bounty programs are meant to be punished because they are giving bad reputation in the world of cryptocurrrency and they are one of the cause why people mistrust some projects because of their bad behaviors and immoralities.

I think that there are more people on the list here in bitcointalk that has been ban forever due to scammers personality...
They should be punish...

those who commit such acts (multiple accounts) do not scam against others but scammed bounty managers.

scammers or not and regardless of their intent, they give visibility to the project!

if they don't respect bounty rules they will got nothing!

I see eye to eye with you on this issue. Because bounty hunters usually dump the price and offer a lower price for the tokens, now the projects'
owners are planning to hold the bounties payouts  longer than six months in order to avoid the value drop and keep the project and investors away from loss. Bounty hunters seem not to be comfortable with this decision.
I think it is fair and good step. It would stop the value of a coin from decreasing rapidly.
I suggest you to hold your coins to gain more Value with the passage of time.

Bounty programs set the rules to order the participants to follow this rules. If they're not fulfilling their promises so this is the time to accuse them.

Holding your tokens for a long time is the best and good way to multiply your money.

You cant do anything to totally make scammers and cheaters vanished. As community make steps to prevent this numerous cases this scammers also find new ways to continue their ubfair businesses. So all we can do now is to be keen enough to spot posivlle scam schemes spread all around.

Bad peopele deserves to be punished and scammers are part of a bad people.  ;D ;D Scammers do everything for their own benefits. They never think what will happen to their victims. For doing these kind of bad activities, they deserve to be punished. They deserve bad karma because they are the cause why people having second thoughts when they see an unfamiliar projects/jobs in internet.

Yes even i have noticed some countries (I dont want to mention name ) registered account are doing bounty like business simply entering all the campaign and posting facebook and twitter work . For example Detector token no devs responding for bounty or it seems like no progress going but people are keep on posting their twitter and facebook work . Its even dangerous some brainless people simply bumping even some scam projects in the name of bounty.

Not sure what you mean here. Maybe you're talking airdrop coins? or like referral program then uses multiple account to harvest coins? In that case, yes there are some and campaigns should made a precautionary measures how to detect these illegal activities without affecting those legit. This happened to Authorship. It was a great campaign but lot of scammers joined the program. ATS took security measures however it affected the legit participants.

I dont understand what is the meaning of Scammers in bounty program,I only know scam bounty programs which don't pay us in the end.But there is nothing to do with the scammers participating if they meet the requirements then they also need to be paid.

These people, appropriating our work, and handing them out for their own! As a result, they receive our remuneration / tokens, instead of us.

How they can take our work?
If they have copy and paste our post they they will be permanently banned.If they did copy and paste in social media then it is the manager work to find out who is doing like that.If they will continuously doing this then they will be tagged by DT members.

They do it. And they are not blocked or labeled, although I wrote yesterday to the moderators. Here is my last message: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2833315.msg31974807#msg31974807  - Bounty managers, took all my work, from scammers, who gave away my work, and my exiles - for their own. And my work - they rejected!

They will receive there payment until the end of the ICO , there are rewards according to there stakes and rules of the bounty campaigns  .

If still there is no action from the moderator then go to the meta section and create a new thread or you may find the thread related to copy pasters and post there your proof.Soon they will be tagged by anyone our DT members and moderators also will ban the account permanently.

If you are still new, I'll tell you that a lot of them are already punished. They are tagged with negative trust and members of this forum track them by the checking all the addresses they use that are connected.

What is a meta section? I looked through the English-language and Russian-language sections on the forums, but I did not find a topic where such scammers are published - copy pasters. But my efforts have not gone in vain. Bounty managers of these projects, crossed out their lists, and thanked me for their help. I'm glad that I was able to help the projects, and the bounty participants.

This trend is very terrible, it harms the whole community. People think that crypto currency is fraud and that's why they are negative about it. It is necessary to fight with people who cheat collect money from the population and need to raise the prestige of the Crypto-currency

It is very sad that many fraudsters appeared in the crypto-currency industry. This is very damaging to the reputation of all crypto currency. Many people think that all crypto-currencies are fraud and are mistrustful of the crypto currency. I'm hoping that we will be able to defeat the scammers

It's irritating if I think the scammers. scammer, they are less moral once if I think, we do bounty to stay up every night, and at the end of the campaign, we do not get rewarded for our hard work.

If they are caught and punished, then it is appropriate for scammers,

That's why when we see some like a copy paste work please double check it first in the Google or scammers that's trying to steal someone's identity kindly immediately report it on mods so they'll be serve what they deserve. This is one community that should be helping each other so we can eliminate the wrong doings.

I saw some fake accounts registered or doubled accounts register in signature campaign especially those higher ranks, they'll just simply put another ETH and if the bounty manager don't notice it they could easily get a huge amount of coins, i believe those types of fraud from bounty hunter can't stop so bounty managers should do their part to check every account if legit.

Mark them with the negative trust as much you can bro. If you worry or get irritated nothing will work against. Today I have seen one returns the untrusted feedback in 50 numbers and plus. You may think that this might be like spam but he made what he has done.

If you find the person scamming any person here, you can directly report to moderators and write thread on Scam accusation section buddy. I think hilarious would be very much active there to do his job. Please do worry about them, just fuck them out.

The only thing that we could do to the scammers are reporting them to the mods, give them a negative trust, and exposed them to this forum. Other than that nothing we could do. So before we conjugate ourselves to a certain bounty campaigns we should study the ico.

even if we continue doing this , for sure many scammers will still create a new account or maybe they even buy an account so that they can start scamming again. i guess we should implement a new program which is requiring a small fee and signing a weaver in order to prove their legitimacy. in that way , we can greatly reduced the risk of getting scammed because they will now think twice if they will still insit to their ilegal activities or not.

As carefully learn the ICO, is still full of confidence in the success of the project can not be. In my experience there have been several bounty ICO, where at first glance everything was at a very high level, and as a result, no tokens, no money invested.

It is always good to check with the companies before their bounties and ico. Now most of the companies are listing their linked in profiles, so it is good to track whether they are legit ones or not.

They are too smart to remove must exist in an effective way so that they cannot do the cheating in bounty campaign. the more the scammer even 3 more accounts they use. their clever thief and it isn't very good for bounty campaign in the future

Yeah your right but theirs no proper indicator with those sudden changes that's why there are so many bounty hunters get fooled by the "scampaigns". For this case let's just treat bounty hunting as gambling so that if our expectation well not be gotten by us then we will just hop in to another camp and move on.

I don't really get the whole concept of your post but in my opinion people who are caught scamming like receiving payments (coins or Fiat) in exchange of coins or token but never give the product to the payer and transaction record is there, they should be punish but not just banning since it's boring but I want to see a hundred or more negative trust in his profile so anyone could see it, it's harder that way.

I like the word "scampaigns"  ;D. Its really easy to say on just simply hoping up into another campaign and move on.On my part this is very unacceptable when it comes on sudden change or totally doesn't receive nothing on the things you had done for them which you do advertise their company and when they do already accumulate enough funds they do suddenly ran or change rules in the end. They deserve to be on jail but we do know the truth that this thing isn't really easy to be traced up.

There are honest and honest managers. If we share our work experience, then we will less get to the dishonest. We need to leave feedback about working with this or that manager so that the participants read and make their opinion. Here there is a  rus branch-https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2845483.0

fraud is always bad, but in the industry, there are a lot of fraudsters and this fact is badly hitting all the crypto-currencies because people do not believe in crypto-currencies and I think that all projects are created by scammers

Are talking about scammers or just people who try to receive reward in any possible way. I mean by using bots, multiple accounts  and so on?  Well we don't know their situation, maybe it is the only possible way of receiving money for them?

Many and most of our admin, staff and all member of the forum are cooperating each other to report scammers, and reporting also can gain you merit, especially when reporting alt account that only here to spam and do nothing good. The administrator decides for the punishment.

what forum are you refering about? is that bitcointalk? If it is , then this forum do not have a completely control of those scammers and hackers because the admin and mods here are always busy doing with thier outside life.  moderators do not have a completly control out of them because majority of the mods do not have a dt power to nuked thier accounts. only admin can do give a proper punishments  regarding on scammers.

certainly any kind of fraud is very harmful to the development of the crypto-currency community and creates additional mistrust on the part of people and officials, it is necessary to fight with scammers and not give them the opportunity to earn in this place

it should be if that is the case, it is better they are punished. because they have ruined many people. especially from almost all projects, do not allow to register 2 accounts while they operate secretly 2 accounts. and tokens are divided. So obviously it is very harmful to all the gifts.

Unfortunately, if the fraudster is smart enough, it can not be determined. There are ways to enter the bounty of many accounts and you can not be caught. But, of course, I will not talk about them.
Perhaps the best way to take in the bounty from the rank of a member.

I've notice a large number of double entry in spreadsheet lately, devs want to make bounties clean as much as possible but those lowlife people always find a way to cheat and that's too disgusting.

I think this should be stopped. Their accounts should be banned from the campaigns because it is unfair for those who participated fairly. But I know these guys are hard to capture because they are wise and been in the industry for years.

In bounty campaign, nobody gets another person's reward, rewards are share according to their stake. I think it is the manager of such campaign group that can detect if a particular participant is a scammer or not when he/she go through the account details and suspect any form of scam. Once the scammer is detected, the management team should either close such account from that group or place multiple negative trust on the accont.

we do have to be wary of biotcoin games, because many people are abusing or fraud on bouty programs to take coins in other words they take away the original rights that a person possesses.
In order to avoid fraud then we must keep the account held

That would be the ideal thing we need to do but there are so many campaign existed and we cannot trace up easily on which faggots guys using our identity on some camps and we must be vigilant on these things since we might gonna get a serious problem not only with bounty but aswell with compromising our account and get red trust. But to avoid really these maybe we should put a little not on our account profile that we didn't join on the camp where mostly bounty cheaters goes with.

First we have make them banned from this forum. They are the real threaten for the forumers and any people who is coming to bitcoin investment in the early time. I see DT normally taking action like tagging them with the red trust.
That will not only way to stop. If admin makes the one more moderators to check the bounties and announcements section to confirm the legit condition means we can make the more secured forum with our btctalk.

I see eye to eye with you on this.
this forum is messed by creating hundreds of accounts. it is easy to create as many accounts as you can here.
what i suggest is that there should be phone number verification while registering with Bitcointalk. Furthermore, dead and inactive accounts should be deleted just like telegram is doing.

The scammers are using dead BITCOINTALK accounts to enter Bounty programs. they are not always caught.
I could see it happen in NODESPOWER BOUNTY PROGRAM.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zSVHPALVCfsZQxQZMXYOTp0vBQvZ_4a6W14zVSiQy2w/edit#gid=1357588342
The managers, found and removed hundreds of fake entries using dead BITCOINTALK ACCOUNTS.
Some example from NODEPOWER Bounty:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=733625
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=320374
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=333498
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=346137
I am sure this is happening in other Bounty Programs as well.
Can not The Forum management eliminate dead ACCOUNTS??

I did not catch your point as a whole, but if this happens then the function of bounty campaign manager can punish it. They can report to DT member to give negative trust and so they will not to do it anymore. I see that bounty programs are very likely to be fraudulent, with a large number of participant managers being overwhelmed to monitor all fraud.

Peoples are free on what they want to do, but have you seen an innocent doing a crime for the first time? If they get caught the first time they did they will change if they gat some warning, but we have also criminals who is doing and enjoying some crime since they are not caught until now, I think in this forum they are to be banned as the rules apply and have a very red mark for the other to be warn about them.

when I know the fraudsters while following a prize, I will immediately report fraud against a gift campaign manager who can accommodate reports.
the manager punishes the suspect with his reward policy by forbidding them from following each prize campaign organized by the manager.

Its pointless or useless either they would be banned to this forum they do already accumulate the money that they do aim for which means they dont really care already if they wont able to access this forum once again and besides even theyre banned they can easily make use of VPN with other bought accounts  which means the cycle would really repeats as long there are foolish investors who do keep feeding to those fraudsters.

I think this can be easily avoided if managers are good at their job. I'm not just quite sure if you are referring to scammers that are registering  using other participants' name but using their own address. It's very easy to caught these scammers in my opinion.

Bitcointalk should really do more to prevent scammers from keeping on scamming bounty campaigns and also campaign managers should deal with such individuals when they detect them

Yes they should be punished most especially if there are evidences that prove that they did scam people. But mostly these scammers would run away right after they commit the crime and would not return back on this forum.

Yes you are right there, most of them run after taking the money and if they do come back they come with new identities

I want to say. Some projects may be deceptive, but they are not something that managers have. That's why I suggest you go to trusted managers' campaigns.
I would definitely recommend you to enter if the project is good.
But it is the best way to punish those who share projects that are usually scam.

This should really be the case but how you would accumulate evidences? We wont even know on where those funds do go thats why scammers wont really go out into this market because executing it would really be just easy.
Not only depending on reputable managers because there are still chance for the project to become scam but reputable managers do always choose the best ones thats why its high chance for a worthy project to invest on but we should mind the risk.

certainly any kind of fraud is very harmful to the development of the crypto-currency community and creates additional mistrust on the part of people and officials, it is necessary to fight with scammers and not give them the opportunity to earn in this place

Any kind of fraud is harmful beyond the project or person that is the victim. Perhaps in the past, bounty programs and airdrops were less concerned about scammers and fraud because it was a free for all, but the crypto sphere has come to realize that it needs to crack down hard on cheaters. Dumping of ICO tokens upon listing is the most obvious, which hurts the projects and those who genuinely support it, but also the intended objective of widespread adoption - which is the main agenda of all bounty programs (with the exception of bug bounties).

if the project has not paid it yet is not terrible. But I was caught by airdrops, who used my data for their own purposes and several private offices were hacked and all money was withdrawn. It's horrible. Now everywhere I connect two-factor authentication.

Indeed, it is happening here.
the question arises here is that how to avoid them in their first attempt to try to cheat.
I suggest that The Forum management bring some changes in registration policy.
Maybe go for sms verification to rigister here.

it can not be like that there is a rule if everything in the forum discusses a free topic from which information we will get maybe you really just want to get the attendance from a campaign that you follow but others seek information here.

I think scammers in bounties should be given a negative trust or should be bound from joining bounties. This process will help reduce the rate of scam because most managers do not accept participant with negative trust in their campaign.

this method is already implemented but the number of scammers and other illegal activites are still growing because giving them a negative trust is i think not really enough dueto the fact that they can still always create a new account in order to start scamming again. there is also a problem from most bounty campaigns because they still accept members with negative trust .

Much better if theymos will reuquire a phone number or email verification before signing up an account , so that they cant just easily create an account for fraud activities.

There are more scammers now using the account of other people because they cannot just easily rank up. In bounty programs that accept thousand of bounty hunters, there are pretty much scammers right there more often than not and the bounty hunters and managers should help each other in monitoring the spreadsheets to detect those scammers. The high rank accounts are often use by those scammers with different address and they take a chance that they will be the one who will be paid instead of the original owner of the account. It's hard to monitor the scammers but if we help each other in spotting them then it would be a big help.


Giving red trust is one of the solution but what if the owner of the account do not have any intention of scamming anyone but instead his account was used by someone so this is not the solution to all kind of cases. The solution would be to post a proof of authentication with the profile of the owner of the account. Some bounty managers are already doing it upon filling up the form but for those who didn't implement it yet, I hope they will do so to lessen the scammers.

my advice just tighten the rules alone because the fraud can not be eliminated in every part of the work in this dunia.tapi it's just that we prevent and limit their space.

That is the reason each abundance has rules. One of the guidelines for all mark crusades is - 1 account permitted in 1 battle, so in the event that somebody has at least two records and you can demonstrate that he is tricking than he will be negative labeled as a matter of course trust clients.

best way to avoid this is make a track of users involved in scam.
Open a scam accusation topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0 and give a red trust with reference.
report even in smas list https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1545652.0 if their post are low quality or just spam.

this is already done by DT members and moderators of this forum but since there is a huge number of users and multiple accounts you can't pin point every single one of them, but I highly appreciate the works of moderators although it seems that it's not easy to detect each scammers of bounty programs.

This can easily be sorted out by bounty managers. But I guess there are just really dumb bounty managers that like in my experience that he both banned me and the duplicate scammer. He said he just needs proof and he was so stupid that replying to him using my account was not even enough to prove that I am the real one.

if it is better known the person is exposed to the law because if left like this continues then more and more people like that. want to earn money but do not want to work, honestly i really hate to such a person. it's obviously a bounty that's good, but somehow people want to make their job better by becoming a scamer. i hate scamer, hopefully the scammers will get 100 times the loss on appeal they take from others.

How could you say boss that there are many scammers in the bounty program? As I know they have their own rules on how to participate in their bounty program and if there is people who are not follow their rules, those people are not qualify for payment.

I believe if someone are caught scamming bounty program there is proper punishment for them.

I can't understand what they are expecting for? In my signature campaign with thin spreadsheet i founded scammer which was trying to use my information. But it was so obviously, of course he was rejected.

Sometime on airdrop and telegram information page also you can find the multiple details has been shared for getting more stakes. Upon rules has been made on this forum scammers can be and will be burst once noticed.
So if you feel anyone doing the wrong you will be able to report to the manager and some of the people take it to the moderator eyes as well.
If you find some doing any scam you can create a thread on scam accusation section and reserve the red tag for them.

not all managers are careful with spreadsheets. sometimes the fake is visible to the naked eye, but it still gets the status of "approved". now this type of fraud is more common and you have to be very vigilant and carefully check the spreadsheets of participants.

True. But in their defense, there are tens of thousands of entries these days in one campaign. I don't know how difficult it is to verify, but to the naked eye, it does look like a tough task.

It's really tough to check it in social media campaigns like twitter. But the rest is very clear to see who are the cheaters. They are mostly low ranks accounts so it does not really matter to them if they get tagged so it that situation really annoys not just the legit participants but also the bounty managers.

no its not. it isnt really hard to spot a cheater because you can always see all of the participants details on the spreedsheet. you can just browse and compare their address if they are identical to or simillar to each other. if there is then they are probably a cheater.


there is also  cheaters that is already a high ranked account , mostly they are full members and above. it does also matter for them if they got tagged because high ranked aacounts are already valueable.



tagging those cheaters are somehow helpful and it does not annoys participants or managers but instead they are happy to see that the cheters were getting caught regularly.

yes it should if the impostor was caught should have been caught and given a lesson so they would not repeat the mistake again. such people are not worthy to live in forums. because forums do not require garbage like them. I also often see my fraud very annoyed with them.

Most accurately BAN THEM!
They are Actually Turning Our Image Down!
They are BUrden for us!
So when you see them JusT BAN them!

Sometimes it is impossible to find the bounty participant scammers but Moderators are doing their best to find the bounty scammers. Every person will do some mistakes on the basis mistakes i hope Moderators will find the multiple account holders.

Kind of problem that being handled and trying to solve out since the beginning of this forum where multi accounts and abusing campaign or bounties is one of the most common problem on this place. Moderators arent finding but they are the ones who do judge out. The community would be the one to catch those abusers or cheaters and should be reported. Scammers and fraudsters do exist on this forum a lot if you do let yourself vulnerable then expect you would lose up money. We should be sensible on any thing we do engage on.

Many people know about crypto and bounty, so that the paritcipant in bounty increase sharply. Hence, the bounty managers are strict to audit their work. Some participants have 3 or 4 BCT account and Social Account, they joined all account in one campaign and the efficient of the advertising campaign is limited because of this spam. They only copy and paste or edit when do bounty and i think the manager should ban all account who join multi account.

Most accurately BAN THEM!
They are Actually Turning Our Image Down!
They are BUrden for us!
So when you see them JusT BAN them!

I think DTs are already working for this kind of frauds and punishing them by tagging them with red trust or banning them. However, there are only few DTs here in this forum so they can't check the thousand users of this forum so i think you have to message them or post your concern on reputation board.

I do not think they can be given any punishment other than to be barn from such campaigns or their account should be blocked totally so they won't be able to access it again. I also think there should be regulation or bodies put together to help monitor the rate of scam in the entire crypto community.

Banning is just temporary solution but cant totally wipe it out because they know this forum is contained with fool investors it would really continue to pop up and even how many times we do give advises and warning there are still people who do feed up those scammers. They deserve to be wiped out but we can just able to give temporary solution. The only weapon we can have is our experience and knowledge.

each member can help the moderator, by reporting any dangerous threads or any members who commit fraud.
I think the moderator has limitations to oversee thousands of accounts. complete with facts / evidence and the moderator will consider it then make a decision.

Scammers are an act of fraud that harms others, of course, such actions should be punished.
But exterminate the scammers is very difficult let alone this in cyberspace. In particular these bitcointalk forums have no legal laws governing them.
If you mean here is bounty hunters who do the scammer, maybe the way that is still efektiv is to give a permanent ban on his account, that's just how to stop the dirty action.
Because as tight as any rules are made, be it for bounty program and this forum, there must always be a gap for those who want to contravene and cheat.
So for anyone who finds people or accounts who cheat and scammer immediately spread their profile and report to moderator.
