We cant blame them it is easy to make this than to work hard...  But its not good... The only things we need to do is to be careful... Our efforts will not go in vain if we always do that...

Hi guys, last March 23, 2018 I received an email from Altcoin_name@creditstoken.win which his message states that "You are entitled to receive an advance bounty reward from (Altcoin_Name) Coin Bounty Campaing for your participation. Go to the fowling address to redeem your Bounty Reward using redeem code: wwv.myetherwallet.com#redeem-token" When you open their website it will ask to enter your Private Key and wait for 3 hours to received the tokens. So guys beware of any person who will try to ask your Private Key. I had reported this issue to the owner of the Altcoin_name and sadly I was been disqualified in their bounty campaigns...

Any new beginner into cryoto should read the 101 on crypto.Giving away the wallet private key is like giving the ATM and the pin number .And remember if it's too good to believe then it's probably a scam

Thank you for sharing your experience though it turned out to be sad. The secret code is very important. It is better to have several purses for storage. One must be known only to you.

Thanks for this but for me I would never put a private key from any bounty reward . It will be suspicious for me at first attempt then I won't continue to submit any of my details either to be safe .

If you are new you make mistakes like this. If you are experienced then sorry it is your mistake. Please do remember this: Nobody will ask you for private keys. If they do then just stay away from them. Simple right?

It is clear that it is not necessary to go to various obscure references and especially to introduce their private key.

I would also suggest to checking for when will there be reward distribution for bounty participants because some campaign are starting to lock down payments for few months after ico is completed(with smart contracts)This campaign aint open about it and a lot of people are unaware of this,they usually say that it was writen in the whitepapper and lets be honest noone is reading that

Typically anything that mentions that which is not available public knowledge is a scam. No private keys and if you are asked to give an email, these are free so it is easy to create a new email address for different projects/investments.

Sometimes people are distracted, inattentive and can give the private key to scammers. Everyone must remember not to give the private key to anyone. If someone asks for it's important, stay away from that person. Maintaining basic safety rules reduces the risk of losing money.

This will serve as a warning to those people who don't know anything regarding this issues. Its actually pretty easy to figure out the scam from the legit ICO projects. Icos that ask for your private key is already fishy. So beware! Don't be stupid in giving away your private key in any bounty participation. And make sure that your accounts have 2FAs.
