Cheating in bounty programs

[Red_Evil]

As soon as bounty programs start changing rules after they have finish raising their funds through ICO, then they start changing rules like KYC and other unnecessary verification.

I don't think KYC can stop them (cheaters), because i think maybe they can get KYC documents easily from family or dark web.
but in my opinion this KYC verification can minimize and reduce the cheating of bounty project

I often see cheating on the gift of social media such as twitter and facebook. Many participants were crossed out by a Manager from the list of spreadsheets since they proved to many users of the account. This is thanks to the thoroughness of a Manager in checking for participants to join.

 bounty participants to experience is that if they will not get their payout
many people that do bounty are scammer on a spreadsheet you will see many names and check the telegram forum you will find out is view people on telegram forum some name will appear several time

Do you think that some bounty programs cheat because they do not want to pay bounty hunters by bringing out things to do at they end of bounty campaign? Share your thought or experience.

There are campaigns like that in which at the end of their campiagn, they are requiring you to do another tasks before they give tokens. That is called delaying tactics because they simply not ready to distribute the tokens. Some also changed the rules at the end by requiring us to do KYC, etc.

In my opinion i didn't see any examples yet but i remember storiqa bounty program looks suspicious, they said 3% of funds to bounty initially but they allocated very less according to tokensale results. And more suspicious thing as no one see the spreadsheet as it never open after allocation.

Watch the KYC at the end bounties.  They get you all nice and juiced up for your reward.  You did all the hard work then they ask for the real prize. Your passport.  You may end up doing the work, not getting paid and then have your passport or national ID sold on the dark web. 

It is really the worst part and even now i start getting spam mails to some of the air drops i joined and there are instances where someone is using my mail ID to sign into airdrops and the reason i know is that i am getting mail that i am expected in some drops which i have not even enrolled, i am not sure how to stop these abuses, either i have to contact those teams which is a headache as i am getting more joining mails on a daily basis now and with the KYC too these abuses will happen when you submit to scam projects.

Yes, a lot of bounty programs are worthless that makes many participants wasting their time and effort to make a project success, managers don't even think how painful we felt upon knowing that we are not receiving as what they promised from the start of the campaign.

I do not think that most of them want to deceive anyone. They simply reduce the possible risks of problems with government bodies. For them, investors are more important than bounty hunters who do not invest a single penny of money. If a hunter does not have documents due to age, he can always ask older friends or parents to pass verification instead of him. But i'm total agree that KYC should be announced since the start of the campaign.

No, they are just bounty manager they can't control what the clients want to do in their campaign changing of allocation sometimes is decision of the owner of the project and they are basing sometimes on how much they raise funds on their campaign, and if you didn't paid on your campaign because the owner is run away don't blame the bounty manager because they are just the front and not the owner of the project.

I find it really disgusting whenever a case of cheating is brought up, i see it as a lack of basic moral upbringing. Why direct so much efforts to cheating when you can direct same to submitting your work right. If i am a Bounty manager all cheaters will be banned straightway.

I have also faced scams in bounty programs. Last of the scam bounty was saying that "We dont want to cope with stakes and reports. Whoever joins Twitter campaign wins 50 $ and whoever joins Facebook wins 100$" I thought it may be scam but I said that I dont lose anything. Today I checked it and saqw that the bounty page was gone. There are much more scam bounties these days.

[phungkien144]

This kind of situation rarely occurs. If such a situation is encountered, then it is revealed that more people will know their scam so that they can no longer encrypt the development of the market. They should receive such punishment.

[michael shikany]

I don't think so, because the spreadsheet is open.
So people can see real data from spreadsheets.

The ICOs that has bounty program but dont want to pay their hunters are those projects who would like to market their products for free. The Bounty Managers cannot force them to pay the hunters because they too have been cheated by the project itself. So it is the ICO itself that are the cheaters. and as a bounty hunter we should be diligent enough to research on those projects before joining their bounty campaign so that our time and effort would not be wasted.

[david tex]

Possible, I experienced it. They just used peoples' effort then after the ICO end you can no longer search their thread,they GONE and it is so disappointing. You give your full trust on that ICO but ended up nothing.

Yes, of course, a lot of bounty programs are cheating and not responsible to the participants. Bounty participants have been very diligent in promoting the bounty project, then the results obtained by the participants is just a disappointment. Hopefully, the future will be reduced bounty scam program.

[Razick]

Not all of the bounty campaigns do this but I would be lying if I said that there are not bounty campaigns out there who do this. They take advantage of bounty hunters and use them to promote their coins and projects and when it comes to time to pay them the reward that are due to them, they start to delay it and give different excuses until the bounty hunters tire of them and move on.

[jonas5222000]

Yes they`re going to cheat because their achieving goal is not reached ,and also there`s some bounty that the only intension is to scamm, but good is there still honest and trustful bounty ,to prevent scam bounty be sure that you have knowldege about reading and observing on thier project.

I see always new scam program news and I think this is getting a serious probem. I hope we can see just good news about the new programs, but unfortunately this is getting more impossible gradually.

[Skroojee]

If the ICO project collected a large amount of money, or just the amount that it needed, then it makes no sense not to pay. Most likely, if you are not paid the bounty of the company, then you participated in the Scam.
