FAKE ICOs Bounties. What to do?

[lumpum]

When choosing Bounty to participate in, you have to analyze the project itself first, to look over the idea, the team and different ratings. Another important factor is a Bounty Manager - if the community trust him, it usually means he doesn't organize Bounties for scam projects.

Nothing can be done!Just be careful while choosing a bounty program and do your own research!

Nothing? Come on. Preventious actions can be done. If every bounty hunter will understand his responsibility(what will never happen, there always will be people who are lazy to make research) and get maximum info about project he/she supports - we will not even know about scam projects - they will not be advertised in that case

Always remember about the 60% of bounty scams. Never do a lot of work unless you are sure that you will be paid later. Check the projects through reviews on the Internet.

The better you choose the projects the less often you will come across a scam, learn more white paper and idea.

Yes, scam ICO is hard to detect if we're just only relying on its preview page that have many convencing words and videos. To minimize this situation its good to review every ICO's whitepaper for us to decide whether its paltform is feasible or not.

The only things we can do with the fake ICO is to try to avoid and if we spot somewhere to raise awareness and tell everybody so they don;t get hurt.

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?

[prechi]

Search for good ICOs and bounties. Not all are scams. for ICOs, I will recommend icodrops and a few others that you can research for yourself. Invest in Icos, with real projects and for bounties, I will also recommend Bountyhive

Well as we all know, it is very hard to identify if the Bounty Campaigns were scam or not. In my experience here i've participated many bounties like signature, and social media campaign and suddenly when the campaign was already done, we dont received our rewards. Try to imagine all my effort on promoting the project across all channels without getting any rewards in the end. But I guess it is one downside of being a bounty participant, in life there is no such thing as permanent and everything will come to an end, just keep being hopeful that you can participate a legit campaigns and in order to do that,  you must try to visit the project's website and read the details, community reviews, etc. You can't be 100% accurate but you can minimize the chance of getting scammed by doing these things. That's what i can share because that's what im doing to minimize the scam campaigns that i am joining.

Truly, much the same as with me, it is difficult for us as fledglings to judge a trick and true blue ICO. Yet, from what I know, I figure it would be more secure for us to take after the ICO which has plainly come to softcap. With the accomplishment of that deal, at that point at any rate we have been saved from ICO trick or ICO isn't growing great, and clearly, we are clear will get comes about.

The best thing that we can do to get rid of those fake bounties is to make a research. Yes right not all are scams remember there are still worth it to join just make it a point that it is good project.

You are right research is is the only thin we can do. And being very selective. If I suspect a project that is a scam I don't search it any more. If only one thing is not the way that is supposed to be is enough for me to turn it down.

There is only one option against fake ICO. Don’t follow an advertisement and don’t be mistaken by all those marketing tricks about an immense possible earnings in a short period of time. To earn good money you must to be patient.

[Chamaplal123]

It's really scary and bad for crypto market. Because people not trusting on bounty hunters and people because of fear of loosing. Money.which stop the new  coming to market.

[lovemsngr]

Next time you can ask some experienced traders if the ICO is fake or safe to follow. SO may ICOs now are scams, so you need all your knowledge and experience to tell one from the other.

If you're involved in these fake bounty threads, you don't have any way to get anything.
You can choose an excellent bounty manager, which generally does not happen, and avoid the level of the bounty manager only  JR member and member.

The bounties was announced by Full members. The ranking of announcers on Bitcointalk is high. But we were still scammed. My heart goes to those that have actually invested money. I only invested my time and energy.

I think the ranking on this forum is not a guarantee, let alone just a full member account that can be obtained without having to give donations like cooper member, even, who use akum cooper member also still have the possibility to commit fraud

I would advice you check team first, are they not fake, also check if they are known figures when it comes to administration issue, blockchain as well, nowadays a lot of team are hungry team hunting for eth to steal.

[farland7]

Check out their bounty managers first, monitor social media updates on the ICO, read all the whitepapers and roadmaps, follow expert advice, and check out websites helping with choosing the right ICO bounty.

I think every one of the bounty hunters faced such a situation when after a long time of participating in the campaign bounty it turned out that this project is scam! I can list such campaigns from my experience: these are Benebit, Vionex, GasFiles. In this situation, we have nothing left but to humble ourselves and start participating in other campaigns. The main thing is not to get upset, because that case will not be the last!

1.   Scrutinize the project carefully. You cannot just participate in every bounty you come across. After all quality is always better than quantity.
2.   Select the particular category of bounties according to your skills as there are many like Ads campaigns or signature campaigns.
3.   In order to make sure that the bounty is not a scam study about the team of the project properly. There will definitely be no previous records if it’s a scam.
