How to know if Bounty is scam?

[DySWv]

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.

You are a translator and yet you did not understand what you had translated? Upon reading and translating, you should have already knew at that moment that the project and the team behind that are nothing but a scam. Always be careful on participating in an ICO.

Read whitepaper and check all information given in the website. If you see anything Suspicious mark it as a scam project. The real project will always show the real information.

Perhaps the most obvious part of ICO scams is when you couldn't see the team members profile on the internet or if you can detect something wrong with their personal data

Its very difficult to determine of the bounty is a scam. However, dig some research in order to know if the bounty has a higher percentage of sucess. Also join to the bounty that has been manage by a credible bounty manager.

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.

if the bounty communication is a week then we can assume the bounty programs is about to scam or else ready to scam we should join bounty programs only with the reputation manager then we can feel safeguard

It is not that easy recent days, because initially scam bounties are doing a lot of job in order to appear as not a scam after all. So make a hard research, or just accept that fact, that some of yours will turn out to be a scam

Although many ico projects now claim that they have raised a lot of money, in fact they have all failed. There is no honest development project.

I think doing your due diligence before participating in a bounty program is as equally important as investing in an ICO. After all, you're investing precious time and effort of yours to participate in bounty programs. So, I believe it's important to research about the company and the credibility & strength of the team first, and see whether u trust them enough to deliver on their word. Don't simply participate in bounty campaigns just because they are promising high rewards in return. As the saying goes, "If it's too good to be true, it probably is."

There are lots of ways to know wether the bounty campaign is scam or not. First and the most important is to check the people behind the project if they are legit or just scammers posing to be someone. Reading the whitepaper also helps a lot to determine if the project is good or bad.

In my opinion A scam bounty can be very deceptive in that it appears to be worth participating in - as the bounty hunter would have taken a look at the white paper and carried out a number of checks. But it is easy enough to produce words on a document, create a half decent website. I advice  we need to check out things such as whether they have attended any summits or blockchain tech conventions - real photographic evidence of their booth, etc.

[jakedeez]

It seems to me that you can learn about it only when the toxins will be released to the stock exchange. Naturally, if they are not there, then this project is fraudulent

For me it is easy - I just go with, lets say around 50+ bounty campaigns, and I assure myself from the beginning, that some of them will be scam, so by doing that - it is easier a lot to go.

[cutiemolit]

We never know what kind of modus other people used in order to trick other. Scammers evolve with the help of modern technologies now a day, making it very hard to distinguish what is legit and what is scam. Some will only knew that they are scammed in the end of the bounty. Research and choosing the right campaign, background checking for manager would be a big help. Being vigilant is the key to avoid scam.

[upyem2k]

To know if a bounty is a scam from the start is a kind of difficult to know. But I believe researching the project team and their claims can help to expose them quickly before they waste to much of hungers' time.

Now a very large number of projects that really work very well and make good money collections, but as soon as the question concerns the bounty of participants, this project immediately begins to suffer some problems.

Yes, bounties are excellent opportunities, but I think the major problem is being careful about scams.

To choose good bounties to get involved in, you have to look at the project and see if:

1. it fits your needs for bounty-related aspects;
2. the project is good and will have success.

If you want to have a look and get some information in a good Bounty campaign that has just started, I can suggest you RAWG.

They have just started a very rich bounty program for everyone who is willing to participate:

In these days, they also launched a special bounty, which allows you to get up to 100 dollars for a single tweet or facebook post!!! Depending on the number of your followers.

Have a look, because it is a great opportunity to quickly earn a nice amount:

The ICO site is this one: https://token.rawg.io/. It's a video game discovery platform that converts your skills into goods and services.

You can earn tokens by playing your favorite games. The site is already working, with more than 50,000 games in the database and new games are getting added every day. This is the site: https://rawg.io/

Quite good looking, don't you think?

[Wearegoodfrends]

It is certainly difficult to determine in advance the scam bounty. But look at the team, the funds that participate in the ICO. Already at this stage a lot becomes clear. Save your time.

[viva95]

In most cases bounty is scam if ICO is scam. So if developers are unable to clearly articulate a valid use case for the token, token’s developers are anonymous or unknown and if project's roadmap is overly-optimistic probably it should be scam and you should avoid it.

[beanieking]

The only real way you can tell is by checking out the ICO. If the ICO is poor and there is a lack of communication / anything that seems fishy, keep away from the bounty / investing. There are so many projects now.

No one can predict it, everything the same, any company that is not backed up by any real business may turn out to be a scam
