FAKE ICOs Bounties. What to do?

[adam1230]

If the project manages its own bounty campaign its a big red signal for me.
There are professional bounty managers and project must focus on development not bounty management.

[jpnl0006]

once a fake ICO or bounty, off-course the bounty is always from an ICO, so when one is seen as a fake project with the intent of extorting money from the general public, the best thing to do is to first label them fake within the bitcoin talk forum community and further more consider regulatory agencies that always flag projects like that to the general public

ignorance and lack of desire to study the cryptocurrency and the idea are scammers. so you need to be literate, not to run into it. I suggest not to give up, but to study everything in detail

[beautygirl816]

if we have already invested in ICO, we can't do anything else. but if we are only limited participants of the fake bounty, we can immediately stop following and find a new bounty. because if we want to report, we can not report to anyone.

Why don't you try to avoid them? Just decide what are the markers for fake ico-s and analyze a bit before handing out your personal info and wasting time

[LizZavet]

For me any fake bounty is sad but strong experience. When i try my first several bounty some of them was fake. Now i try very carefully go into bounty and read a lot about any project. You need research about any bounty project you want to go. 

[rarg]

Make that case as your valuable experience. Then you can start to move on and find another campaign.
Do not forget to try to analyze first the project before joining the bounty campaign.

Many bounties today are full of shit full of scam and fraud. But some of the bounties today are also good if you choose right bounty you will be happy just do good research about the project and about the team and you will be able to earn money

It's a pity that someone can use many weeks of his time to support an ICO project and not get paid after the sale. That's unfair. Maybe you should choose bounties of trusted bounty managers.

[Raidal]

It can not be denied if to distinguish the original bounty campaign and fraud was very difficult. I am also difficult in distinguishing the original and the fraud. I also experienced it, I followed the signature campaign from start to almost complete, just less one weeks. But, what happened? The ICO project turned out to be unclear and fraudulent so I lost my time and energy for futile activities. I can only take the wisdom from God that it is not my livelihood and God will replace my efforts with the payment doubled though not directly.

yes that is really unfair on our side as a bounty hunter because we lend our precious time in order to help them promote their business but in the end we are the ones that  doesnt get anything from them.

it is also easy to say "choose a legit bounty "  , "do your own research"  , etc or any other methods to avoid getting scammed but that is actually hard to do because the problem is most of us are just freakin lazy to do those said methods to avoid getting scammmed.


the best method that i recomend is to not join any bounties and that is totally working if you are sick of getting scammed.

[rehanaurora]

As a bounty hunter also I'm also afraid that I join a bounty scam or a project that was made just to scam investors also bounty hunters. And if you participate in bounties or fake ICO, you should post up here to alert everyone. Help many people will not lose time and money. Your next step is to choose the best ICO and bounties to avoid wasting your time.

in fact the scammer ico has been around for a long time, and when crypto is now famous, so many people are trying to take advantage the wrong way, then the ico scam is getting rampant, but when the crypto market is falling like this, the investors are losing interest to make an investment

[vivuta114]

I think you should search a trusted manager and participate in their bounty there's so many manager had trusted reputation join in their bounty campaign I think it is the way to  not scam you again.

[Irvinn]

Fraudulent ICO projects are still a common global problem for all investors in the ICO and participants in the ICO generosity campaign. It is very difficult to distinguish fraudulent projects from normal ones, you can only get some indirect signs that may indicate whether this project is fraudulent or not. However full confidence will not be vseravno. It is to be expected that the states will finally soon regulate the ICO and only this will eliminate or significantly reduce the risk of participating in fraudulent ICO projects.

[nontyler123]

I think that what methods you would not use still can not be completely sure. The main thing is not to stop participating further, because there are many worthwhile campaigns.

[khichariya1]

It's good that you wrote here and asked for advice. The bounty company is very popular, and through participation in them it is possible to get tokens, but choosing which company and project is a scam, and how - no, it's really not easy. There are already created topics on the forum, in which points and parameters are provided, which should be taken into account when choosing a company of generosity. Take time, and search for them here!

not all ICO  are scam, maybe you just haven't got lucky only. ICO is actually a beneficial thing and provides a huge income. so maybe you should try other ICO and don't give up for trying.

You are right, a lot of icos having bounties now are becoming more popular and successful, but we cannot avoid the fact that there will be times that we will encounter scam icos and bounties, but still we need to keep moving forward for more new opportunities that will come.

[hoanghon666]

All you have to do is to moving on, that is charge to experience, better luck next time, anything happens and you cannot recover your lost in that bounty coz we cannot trace who is that person, maybe next time make a research so that you can sure the bounty you join is genuine and not scam
