FAKE ICOs Bounties. What to do?

[Lindell]

Other ICOs are trying to prove that they are not scams. Each legit ICO team is showing exposure. They give genuine information about themselves and their activities during ICO. You are confident in an ICO when you know them and you know every background.

the fake icos are really a problem and scares people off. my opinion is that we should do something about it. but unfortunately i would not know anything what we can do.

Hard to spot fake ICOs bounty, the only thing you can do is waiting for some experts to hunt them down and bring them to the public like this one : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3948353.0 .
In case you're having opportunity for it, just do it and you will get back sMerit and trusts.

i can't indentify fake ICOs Bounty too, i got a lot of Scam
all i can do is just wait someone to discover them

If you can't decide what bounties are scam or not, check out the bounty manager's background too. If they hold paying promising bounties, then they can be really reliable about the project. Most of the time the bounty managers research about the idea of the project to see if it is a scam or not.

If you can decide by yourself, then I suggest doing your own research. Checking the website's security, github codes of their smart contracts, linkedin profiles, how active they are in blockchain conferences since being in those conferences if you can participate, you can attract some investors with big money. That somehow guarantees the success of the people. If you are still suspicious, ask for an "ASK ME ANYTHING" on YOUTUBE or a podcast for an interview via video call. That would be really nice.

Do not participate bounties announced by newbies or Jr.members , ever . In most cases , those bounties are scam and you'l just waste your time working there . Of course , Full member+ rank is not a guarantee of successful bounty but it gives you a good chances to receive your reward if you are following campaign rules. I can suggest you to follow those managers who have proved their honesty . This will help you to save your time and spare your nerves.

I am a newbie just trying to grow on this platform. Within a week of participating in altcoin bounties, 2 bounties I participated in have been reported as Scammers. I get a lot of reads on my articles and Social media pages. I cannot keep encouraging people to invest in these altcoins if they would eventually get scammed. How can new bounty hunters like myself differentiate between a genuine bounty and scammers bounty?

You need to participate in the bounties that are conducted by managers with a good rating. According to my observations, fraudulent bounties are most often conducted by newcomers or managers with negative trust

[Lauff]

these false gifts are damaging to people who are just trying to participate in good gifts. Reporting them will help ensure that they are removed so others will not register without realizing it. And the thing you can do is when you see this fake ICO gift is to report it to a forum moderator so they can delete it

[vktrglbr]

What about accounts on bitcointalk wich open fake bounty? Maybe they should be punished? Do they have a little more information about ico/bounty then ordinary user have?
It is only question and my opinion. What do you think about it?

[cloudproject]

If found some fake ico's bounties i think the right thing to do is just report and spread the word about that news. And if this matter have some victim in it just make a reverse bounties that spread the neg of it with the community that felt the same like you

Now it is really very difficult to distinguish the fraudulent ICO project from the normal one. Scammers have learned to draw up ICO documents well and point to them as a team of cryptographers who do not have anything to do with this ICO project. This information is not always verifiable. Joining projects that are known to this forum as managers of generosity, greatly reduces the risk of getting on a fraudulent project, but does not completely exclude such a possibility.

This is a demonstration that everybody despises and counterfeit ICO abundance. At the point when each time I need to partake in an ICO abundance, I will genuinely comprehend the group behind them, and their chiefs, in the event that you find that directors are not sufficiently dynamic, this won't be a decent ICO, on the grounds that a decent ICO needs groups and administrators behind to invest more energy and exertion than abundance seekers. This is my supposition and I would like to encourage you.

I hope that I don’t want to encounter such a thing. Otherwise, it will take a lot of time and I won’t get any bounty. It’s very stupid. If you’re participating in a bounty mission and don’t pay rewards at the specified time, stay away from it as soon as possible.

[yemiforu]

the thing is to research on  the ICO, read their whitepaper, their roadmap, the true identity of the owner, and also people opinion always matter.

[carrigan]

In fact it is very difficult to distinguish between a legit project with a project that is a scam. As there are no specific signs which means. Usually I will just follow the ICO project already softcap only. To make it more secure, and it's clear the project is running.

[davidcrumble2]

I'm always to experience to the fake bounties and sometimes they don't pay us.
So if we participate to those ICO's bounties we make sure that this will be going pay us until they end of ICO.

[paxmao]

Make sure that you let other people know here in the forum. Open a reputation thread and expose the scammers as soon as possible. Many times they don't scam but they change the conditions capriciously.

Given the increased incidence of obtaining a red trust among ordinary users for participating in scam projects, it is worth carefully selecting the bounty company.

[TakashiHernan]

Happens a lot.Now a days scams are common things.

Yeah, that is true many ICO's campaign today are fraud and scam better to choose wisely campaign while digging all information, website, team onwers and supports and the last is the manager currently a good trust rating to the community basically the most legit evidence for a good campaign project.

I would advice you to do more research next time before joining any bounty. Study the project and take part in projects that already have working products as the risk in this is minimal. Better luck next time.
