Title: How do you detect scam? Post by: Wikadin on January 29, 2018, 08:51:06 AM Hi, I want to participate in boutnty/airdrop campaigns.
How do you define the scam? Any examples would be very nice. Title: Re: How do you detect scam? Post by: chaitanya31 on January 29, 2018, 08:56:15 AM Ask the campaign creator the "tough" question in the public space provided. If the answers are weak or go unanswered, you've done the best thing you can do as a member of the crowdfunding community.

If they ask for donation or minimum eth, please double check and verify carefully Title: Re: How do you detect scam? Post by: cry4crypto on January 29, 2018, 12:44:27 PM Obvious scam red flags:
- someone asks you to transfer a small amount of any crypto to participate, - someone asks for your private keys (NEVER give them to ANYONE), - promising unrealistic returns - if something seems too good to be true, it is, - asking for any form of ID (driving license, passport, etc.) to participate, - low quality website & no whitepaper, That list is by all means not exhaustive, hopefully other users will give additional advice.

I addition with that try to check the people involved with the campaigns if it is new account. - someone asks you to transfer a small amount of any crypto to participate, - someone asks for your private keys (NEVER give them to ANYONE), - promising unrealistic returns - if something seems too good to be true, it is, - asking for any form of ID (driving license, passport, etc.) to participate, - low quality website & no whitepaper, That list is by all means not exhaustive, hopefully other users will give additional advice. Title: Re: How do you detect scam? Post by: khoapham89 on August 30, 2018, 11:52:43 AM If you would like to join an airdrop, just take a look on their website, whitepaper, team. Search some information on their site or whitepaper to make sure that not copy paste from other ICOs. Do not spend too much time to detect them scam or not if you only want to join their airdrop. Because it's not worth to do that.
If you would like to join their bounty, you have to spend more time to check their information, what problem they solve, their team, whitepaper. Because you have to work with them month by month, maybe. You do not want to take nothing after 3 months doing their bounty, right? You can follow some bounty managers or bounty teams, who be trusted, you can save your time. Title: Re: How do you detect scam? Post by: BQ on August 30, 2018, 12:52:46 PM I wrote a post about some things to look out for when investing in an ICO, and since bounties are generally tied to a project that has an ICO, the same applies, you can look here if you want: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3760625
Title: Re: How do you detect scam? Post by: Nayborksta on August 30, 2018, 01:34:53 PM Always chech if the project has a whitepaper, read it through, check the team behind it, check their LinkedIn accounts. If something sounds too good to be true it's probably a scam.
