have you ever found a scam project or airdrop?
 
what wil you do after working the project for  a couple of week, but you get nothing..?

One should be able to make the difference between scam and legit projects because they're obvious unless a scammer is actually putting so much effort which is usually not the case. An airdrop requirement are usually signing messages, filling a form etc. It's nothing hard. As for signature campaigns and other bounties, there is no reason on why they won't give you your coins, as they could create them out of thin air. The only scenario where you could actually get scammed is while investing in an ICO, in that case, you should do a background check on the escrow, team and read the whitepaper which most people don't do.

Really mad, what else can we do ? thre one project that i join for social media bounty. after sharing like two month of their retweet the dev just dissapear and even the bounty manager didnt get paid. But if only airdrop im not really taking it serious cause im not working to hard for it, just follow their twitter or joining telegram group. Im learn from that and now i only join campaign from trusted manager and good company.

so that case isn't called as scam project instead of what? and what is legit project?

yes. I met a lot of fraudulent projects. In 2017 I participated in more than 100 projects. more than 70 projects are fraudulent. really crazy and time consuming. But I accepted because I could not do anything else. I only take time but do not lose money. I always tell myself that many more prestigious projects are waiting for me

Well, in my case if that project failed in the middle of the campaign or ICO then I would have to join another good signature bounty campaigns.
I constantly check the progress of the campaign ledger, if they constantly update the ledger of means the team are active and the campaign is good, otherwise I leave.

the Word Scam is used in many Cases:

1. there are deliberate scams, that are difficult to spot,

2. projects that werent successful in reaching the audience size needed

3. projects that werent successful executing and using their funds

4. and deliberate scams that are easy to spot.

5. +plus projects that were serious but didnt deliver the unrealistic 500% return after 5 days desired by the "investors" or "gamblers"

what of those cases do you actually mean?

First of all you should carefully look through the project before working on it and concider if it is woth scaming someone. If google search will show that the project is a scam they will have pretty big financial loses. On this forum the best thing you can do is creating a thread in scam accusation section with all proofs of the scam. Their accounts will get tagged and no one will work with them unless the accusation will be resolved.

that was one of my reason to keep working on another project at the same time, doing that wouldn't waste your time to stay awake on those project, watch their group or anything else.

in my experience, 4 of 10 token from airdrop already landing to my wallet (of course it also depends on when they distribute)

Like most people say. research before you do something for a coin. see if the are legit. and what can you do. only thing you can do is learn from it and tell others about the scam

I' ve been scam many times, what I did was nothing, I can do nothing about it. I am disappointed that was my effort was go to nothing but I just keep on trying.

[Bestfriendko]

I certainly did participated once.. What i did was, i stopped posting straightaway. As a campaigner we cannot do anything drastic but to post and let everybody in the community know that that particular ICO is a scam. That way everybody will be aware. It was the " C " bounty project. The bounty manager was " Ehrhc ", Full member rank. My first time to be scammed. I joined in the second round of the campaign. After several posts, i've read in the thread that nobody in the round 1 campaign have received payment. And this (Ehrhc) foolish devil-may-care manager vanished into thin air abruptly. I have learned my lesson. Now before i join a bounty, i look at the bounty manager and study his/her profile and trust.

I try staying away from most of the projects that even seem to me a bit suspicious. Probably that is why I manage not to lose much. Friends, never be in a hurry when you invest. Think over EACH possible minus. If you find something that you do not understand or dislike never deal with it.

If there was of course some kind of service, in order to punish people who create such projects that deceive people and developers just earn money by stealing people, I would definitely use this service. In the meantime, I have not heard about such a service and just forget about such projects.

[DMC_Ken]

I've been never found a scam project or airdrop, but if I found something like that the first the I will do is report them so they can't do it again next time, because if I or we will not report them they can do it again.

[casdder]

I will remember this team where each member should remember that next time I meet this team's project I will advise others in their telegram and other contact channels not to participate in their projects. Of course, the first time is definitely to give up that project.

[RoonyBlack]

I agree with some of the comments that you have to read carefully the white paper. When you read the white paper and you see some impossible or ludacriss things, you will know that this is a scam project
