scammers in bounty programs; what do they deserve?

[tot-o]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 like the word "scampaigns"  . 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.

If you ask me, I think the best way to avoid scammer in bounty programs is to have a coordination between the manager and his participants. Participants should be able to openly communicate with the bounty manager what their concerns are so that the manager can directly answer and take steps to provide solutions to those concerns. Say, for example, in the case of a scam: it'll be hard for the manager to detect who is a scammer or who is not unless the participants point it out to him. If a participant's wallet address has been changed or his account has been used by a scammer, for example, he needs to inform the manager to immediately take actions against it. Managers are not all-knowing. They do not know all the wallet addresses used by participants and they do not know if it's really the participant's address or not. So it's important here to have an open communication and coordination on this matter if they genuinely want to avoid scams to happen.

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

[onepiece1995]

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.

[IndeecV]

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.

[nairb131]

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??

[Ridwan Fauzi]

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.
