actually it would be Scam ICOs rather than Scam Bounties, i said that because bounties related to ICOs, the managers of bounties only follow the contract between them and ICO projects, so if the ICO are scammed, it is not bounty fault, we can not blame Bounty, and for sure, no matter how much we try to find out which ICO is scam, we can never know 100% an ICO is scam, it is our choice to choose a good ICO for us to join a bounty.

First of all, this is the type of site, if it is bad, then immediately there should be questions. The second is a team of developers, to look at their social networks. Well, the last idea and its implementation.

When you entered the project, did it look decent or did you have doubts about this? I try to choose ICO, where they pay for the work done. I participated in one project and I still have not been credited with the award, I am very upset by this fact. I hope next time I will not be mistaken in choosing ICO.

I think waiting is a loss. The price of Ethereum will continue to grow until the following spring. The earlier you buy Ethereum, the more profit you will get. There's no point in waiting now.

Notice who is the bounty manager. Sometimes an ICO has a good concept and team but if the bounty manager has a bad reputation, it could be scam by the manager.

Well its one of the risk that we have to deal with when working for a bounty. Its a little bit hard to find an ICO are scam or not at the beginning of the phase, maybe to identify a scam ICO is when they project are not good and no team.

It is very hard to say whether the project is scam or not, so you should do your own research very carefully and if you find some red flags (bad site, no proofs of the idea, fake links) don't take part in this bounty campaign.

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. Smiley

It is easy to know if the bounty is a scam first check on the bounty manager, check whether he has past experience in handling a campaign or non. Next check the telegram/twitter of the project see if they are active in communicating to their community, if they give a info or progress about the project if thy're not like that then it is morelikely a scam.

Read about the company, pay attention to the rank of Manager and its popularity, there is still a point that the design of the company usually scammers do not try about the details, and of course hope for Mrs. luck.

The person who led me to research on the Cryptocurrency market gave me advice when deciding to invest in an ICO project, so let's study two issues thoroughly. First, is the project feasible and practical? Second, are ICO project members credible? If the answer is yes to both questions then answer the question: do you feel confident enough about the ICO project? If the answer continues to be "yes" then invest. If you are wondering about one of the three questions then do not think about that ICO project.

Total agree many scam project here
I know many people lost money because mistake when invest
I agree with you. In fact, the vast majority of ICO projects are deceptive. If we are not careful, we can lose money, effort, and time for projects like this. So, if we consider the ICO project to be feasible, then I think it is worth investing. If it is considered and suspected, it should not invest in that project. There are many who say that I have a perfectionist perspective, but I think the investment needs to be rational rather than emotional. Let the brain respond, not the heart.

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.
It's a scam if the community of the project is not very active with admins. Sometimes you can see the whitepaper it's super non-sense and if the agreement to the other company is fake. You need assurance to this cases so you must check all the social media accounts of that project. Also ask them about the project not only about the bounties.

I think the best idea to check whether a bounty is spam or not is to check about it on Internet and go through their projects.

You can tell that the project is a scam in the way when you've joined the bounty. There was no update at all from the organizers of his bounty, the bounty committee suddenly disappeared without a trace. After the ICO is over, bounty organizers do not provide any updates of any information, and they do not immediately pay. Slowly they disappear, then they remove the traces of their departure by wiping clean all threads, spreadsheets, and information about their bounty.

There is no way for a participant to determine if the ico is a scam or not because there are a lot of people today who works for bounty campaigns in order to earn altcoins or any cryptocurrency, but still we are not sure if developers will really pay a decent amount on coins.

The most important is to see the team members and check them out. Second most important is design. Is it stolen from somewhere or it is original? Most of the scam projects are not very good in details. Check on NWP solution, the future healthcare solution provider.

Unfortunately number of scams are getting worse. All those money attracting scamers and they don't hesiate fooling people and getting their money or services then they dissappear like a ghost. To avoid them never jump in a project before doing a proper research of them. Check the team , their profiles on social networks , check ranking platforms like icobench to learn more about them.

It is also necessary to verify the authenticity of the project itself. For example, whether the composition of a team member is open and transparent. Whether it is true or not. See if they have a LinkedIn account. The technical update of the project. Whether the project roadmap is clear. Find the relevant rating sites. Look at the project rating. Combined with the above validation, I give my conclusion whether the project is a hoax.
