Cheating in bounty programs

[hdclover]

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.

Some bounty programs are cheat, fake and scam. They tend to dupe the bounty hunters of their rewards after they have achieved their goals and objectives. While some do not meet up with their soft cap.  Digitizecoin is just an example who doesn't meet with soft cap and therefore returned the money of its investors.

This is actually a worst case. Investors will get their money back if the soft cap isn't met. But bounty hunters lost hours of hardwork with no payment. If anyone participated in a signature campaign like that then it would have been a nightmare.

This is very disappointing when you do work for 1-2 months, and you do not get paid. How to avoid this? Probably not at all, even if you carefully choose the campaign for work.
Just need to continue to work with other bounty campaigns.

There is also a campaign gift of cheating as the Manager did not fully pay salaries for participants. Of course the participants very aggrieved because they were working on a project takes 2-3 month Fund ICO is completed. Strongly feels that the results of their hard work are just wasted.

in my experience, about 30% Bounty find reasons not to pay for the work done.

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. 

Good grief, that's crazy that they will go that low.

honestly speaking, I heard and read about it in various topics, but I still have not had my own experience, and I hope that such experience will not happen to me and I do not want others)

Yesterday I wanted to register in the bounty Telegram company. But When I checked the spreadsheet the bounty, I found that another person was already registered there under my login the Telegram.

Also there people registered every 30 seconds and there were about 10,000 person in the spreadsheet. I think, there are more than half it is cheaters and bots!

We can not deny that the scam exists, and it's annoying when it suddenly changes the rules that are burdensome for the bounty hunter. The project team and the bounty manager in charge of it are also just off hand immediately, back again how we choose a good project. Bounty with benefits and a good team is still there, hopefully we always get something like this

I also heard about such a method of deception when the manager pays bounty hunters very little coins and simply puts himself in a wallet. I think that such managers need to be avoided and punish.

some of them, of course,
i attempted in repux token bounty program with 700K value
but at the end, they only distributed 50K
weak teams do weak

Hi, I saw some post about bounty not paying, for sure it exists, after do they any excuse not to pay is also probable like airbnb got a lot of excuses not to repay you for damages

[jak3]

I think the most safest and smartest think they can do this just pay the users because why not people are investing that time and internet on their experiments and they replying back by scanning others by changing the rules are not paying for their work. I had got some reports that some bounty camps are  cheating and I will mark them read trust as soon as I find one.

I have never had that experience personally, but if you're worried about cheating in bounties, try taking part in bounties with reliable and trustworthy managers.

This people are well known and you can easily find a list of them in the forum.

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.

[Emilyearl]

Even the projects who don't bring out any further requirements for the bounty participants to perform, outrightly still don't pay bounty hunters. It's just unfortunate that bounty hunting don't have a community or a body that they can be represented through.

I think such projects just want to save money/coins using a free advertising. Of course this is not fair, but there is nothing to be done about it. I am absolutely sure that the project that tries to cheat will never be successful because they ruin their reputation at the initial stage

How does having reliable and trustworthy managers have anything to do with the cheating that goes on in a bounty campaign. Clearly you haven't even checked how it works otherwise you wouldn't say something so completely ridiculous. Unless they have a custom system that automatically tracks applicants based on IP address or some other metric, cheating will always be a problem.

I always check the spreadsheets of my bounty campaigns for duplicate records, as there're so many cheaters nowadays that use your account to get free money. And in the worth scenario you can be banned from bounty campaign if a manager finds your duplicate record.

Actually, the hardest thing for a bounty participants to experience is that if they will not get their payouts, there are bounty campaigns today who are not paying their participants if they did not give their kyc authentication but it was very obvious that they only want to scam their own participants.

[maro159]

There may be some mistakes in spreadsheet - but it is obvious, thing like that could happen.
If Team does not want to pay you for bounty work, they are scammmers. It doesn't matter to me if they scam distributing tokens either for ICO participants or bounty hunters. Cheating is cheating and it is the thing I really hate.
