How to know if Bounty is scam?

[mayasari]

How do you know if it is a scam? Because I have encountered a bounty that let me finish all the translations first and didn't respond to me after I have passed it. I hope bounties will not be like this anymore because they demand and we did our part but they didn't do theirs. I hope you could answer my question.

Usually when the bounty scam:
1. dev without a word.
2. group setting up the telegram no admin or admin does not appear at all.
3. web inactive.
4. project inconclusive or difficult to understand.
5. caution on the bounty manager new holding project bounty, has an opportunity scam ( though not all ).
6. Don’t pay the bounty.
7. spreadsheets no update.
That’s what I know, what if there is a knows again to be in add, thank you.
Hopefully useful.

You can tell if the campaign is a scam if there is no updates inside the Google Spreadsheet. They need to stay relevant to survive. An ICO must have clear a public team members that show their real faces and have a verifiable identity

I think your case is miscommunication since some bounty campaign managers are hard to contact. Did you reserve for the translation and did they confirmed it to you before accepting the bounty? If yes then they certainly scammed you and let it be charged to your experience.

working for a scam is one of the worse experiences.Because your efforts will never be rewarded and investors money can be lost.I wish to say that before any ICO is put in the public domain,cross checks should be done to ensure that the project is legit before allowing people to work for the project or invest their monies.

It is difficult to know in advance whether they are scams, but you can pass in some details, such as whether their Twitter and Facebook updates are timely, whether their telegram group can answer questions from members in a timely manner, and whether their white papers are plagiarized. You can judge the likelihood of a project scam from those details.

Hey. In fact, to find out 100% whether the bounty company is a fraud or real, it is difficult, but you can analyze, learn to understand and distinguish them. First of all, you need to analyze, study everything, the team, the road map, white paper, social networks.

There are many tell-tale signs. The very 1st thing here is… you need to do your background research. See what the other people are saying, maybe someone got scammed already? The 2nd thing is making sure that the project itself looks legit.

[peterpan19z99]

you can get some signs of scam through some factors. First of all, reading their whitepaper will give the idea of legitimate or swindle projects. Then observe their website and project team. If they have clear ideas and good project team, then it is worth investing.

Check company on fraud sites icoBench, icowatchlist, please check out the company, the higher the rating the greater the probability that it is not a Scam. Look at the development team, read the white paper.

This way, campaign is shorter and I can jump fast to the next. If it pays that's good, if not ... I din't lose lot of time in it.

For me to prevent this scam bouny is to check always this whole bounty before applying it, We need to check and read informations in whitepaper also in websites and social media's connected in this bounty campaign. So we are responsible for our decision or choosing a good bounty campaign.

An ICO must have clear a public team members and you must know about the project. Study their project's genuinity  and white paper of  project.

there is no way to know if the bounty is scam, but you can avoid it by choosing an influential manager, like sylon, yahoo, and a lot more known manager.

The best way to check if the bounty is scam is to really check all the factors. Check the project, people behind it, the capitalization, the telegram group and the third appraisers like ICO bench. Dig deeper and you will learn better.

There's no 100% way to find if it's a scam beforehand. The only thing I can tell you, is to do your due diligence about the project and if it looks fishy and scammy then most likely the bounty would be the same, and the other way around. Second, look at the bounty managers, there are few known ones like, AmaZix, TokenSuite, Yahoo62278, Sylon, etc. mostly they promote legit bounties.

Too bad to say but i also don't know that the certain bounties are scam until they don't give me what i deserve.
Until this far, i have encountered some scams. They look fine at first, nothing fishy. But then when the ico almost end, there're some people on twitter that tweet about the scam and give some proofs. It's too late though, since the bounty almost end and nothing i can do for that.
To know whether the bounty is a scam or not, i need to experience it myself, getting scammed i mean. Or accidentally find some people leaking the truth and let me know that the bounty is a scam.
Maybe we just need to be really carefull and always find informations about the bounty. Even the tiniest one may help us to determine whether the bounty will be trustworthy, or it will be a scam.

To know if the bounty program is scam fund out if the project is legit or not. We need deep research to verify the strength of the project because even a good patform and have a great partnership it can be a scam.  Easy for them to put logo of a great partnership so investor will attract on it. To be sure if it real ask the team of that partnership to verify

[shimlbit]

At one time immediately guessed that projects such as Centra and Envion scammers. How I guessed? Simple experience ) if You're over 2 years in this market then easily be able to identify it.

I agree with you. Every time i want to join a bounty campaign, i always look at the manager of the bounty campaign first. And then learning about the ico project at least read the one pager/summary and the team behind it.

there are a lot of scam ICO's out there, I would like to recommend you do a background check first before investing your time on being a bounty hunter go to websites like ICOBench.com it will give you a lot of information.
