If someone says that I will pay you 0.01 per tweet and the rules are that the maximum number of tweet is 8 so in total it is 0.08BTC but in the title it is advertised that you can earn up to 0.1BTC which is not true, is this counted as a scam because he is advertising that you can earn up to 0.1 when in fact you can't (there is no bonus which can reach 0.1).

Would like to hear from you guys what do you think and lock the topic after i get some opinions from you.

if the limit of 8 tweets are stated clearly then no IMO. people can see that as a mistake or dishonesty, but it's not something that I'd call a scam.

What if i have warn him many times about the title and he don't respond or ignores me, the maximum number is mentioned clearly but when you calculate the maximum of amount of bitcoins is not as advertised on the thread title.

Definitely not a scam.
False advertising comes to mind. Also dishonest and morally ambiguous.
IMO should awake suspiciousness. That may be totally accidental, just point that out
if they wont fix this than stay away. Always a bad sign. Not professional.

It isn't a scam but a dishonest behaviour especially that you already warned him (assuming that he left it intentionally to attract people) or maybe he is planning to give a reward to the participants but in this case he has to mention it.
Personally I prefer to not participate in such thing

People are participating there and the number is not small but the fact that my post is ignored by the OP made me open this thread to discuss if it is a scam or not. Anyway in conclusion from three users seems that this is not a scam and i may lock this thread soon.

It can only be called as a scam if there were already a money left unpaid. In this case, no one has done the job and no one didn't pay. The title must've been just mistakently putthat way or maybe trying to get people to make them believe that ty can earn as much which they can't then it is just the guy being dishonest.

then that would deserve him/her a neutral feedback at least. unwillingness to correct the mistake is not a trait of a trusted person.
I wouldn't leave a negative feedback for something trivial like that. though depending on the other party's personality and past deals, I just might.

I wouldn't leave a negative feedback for something trivial like that. though depending on the other party's personality and past deals, I just might.
My feedback would not affect him so people who are on DT should act to this but anyway let him keep that promotion running.
It can only be called as a scam if there were already a money left unpaid. In this case, no one has done the job and no one didn't pay. The title must've been just mistakently putthat way or maybe trying to get people to make them believe that ty can earn as much which they can't then it is just the guy being dishonest.

I don't want to go so far, i just stopped at the title because when something is not true and you can't achieve it is considered as fraud/trick, he is a well known member here but the ignorance is at a high level. Ok guys thanks for your opinions, locking the thread.
