It is hard to detect scammed bounty campaign..

[Ewox]

Yes you are right and the bounty scams are growing more and more each month. Sad to say we really cant tell right then and there if the bounties are scam but thats just the way it is and so you just have to move on and keep on joining bounty campaigns and hopefully wont get scammed the next time around.

It's hard to find out that a certain bounty campaign is a scam. Even the most popular bounty campaign that seems very legit but later on you'll find out that it's a scam. I experienced that once. I was in that campaign for almost 2 months then suddenly I found out that they are no longer active and devs cannot be contacted anymore. That's how it is. We just let it pass and move on.

I agree. There really is no such thing as guarantee when it comes to bounty campaign. However, I base on the project and the team handling the crypto. So currently I am at Alluxe. The team is very responsive and is always ready to discuss with you about their project. I recommend joining Alluxe.

If problems like this now often happen every time we follow the project not necessarily the project will succeed because there is often a scam, then my advice before following the prize we must first see the bounty manager if emang can be trusted then just join the prize.

It's not hard to actually detect a scammer in a bounty campaign and now it can detect by checking their ethereum transactions to make sure they are not part of it

[Kulang]

Yes that is really true! It is really hard to find and identify a bounty campaign that is totally reliable and legit because we cannot hold the fact that there are several bounty campaigns that tends to be scam as the time goes by but if I were you be mindful, observant and be wiser in everything that you are doing specifically in joining bounty campaigns so that you can avoid being scammed.

It is really hard to detect scammed bounty campaign.  After completing all the requirements to be able to get accepted in a bounty campaign, spending much time to participate in forums and not to mention carrying their banners, completing all the tasks and reports then all of a sudden you will just find out that you have been scammed already.  luckily I am not the only one but to think all participants did the same efforts as well as you did.  But it is really happening, lesson learned and could be just charge it to experience and move on.  If we could only find out at early stage if we were in to scam or a legit bounty campaign.  Who would really know anyway?

There is nothing you can do to ensure 100% that an ICO scam or not. All we have to do is to minimize it and increase the number of bounty. And you have much experience how to reduce the risk.

it is indeed hard to know if a bounty campaign is scam or legit. because most of them has a good platform and long term plan, and they can fake everything just to get the attention of every investors they want.

This is so accurate!! This is why i keep on getting scammed and i just cant avoid it even if im so careful in choosing which bounty campaign to join. There are a lot of time wasted everytime i get scammed. It is so frustrating. I hope there will come the time or thing wgich can detect or know what is a scam.

Sometimes it is difficult, but generally look at project, its team, details development, community activity and you will understand weather bounty is SCAM or not.

I have a word to say about that red trust when people are unknowingly carry scammed bounties.
Most threads are filled with reports and thus least people can see that a report of scam was in the thread, and they get red trust.
I don't think its logical and fair

sure, it's no fair because I think it depends on the project maker and I was hard to see which one was good because all is almost the same.

following a bounty campaign is the same as putting your luck. what you need is luck, sometimes we've chosen bounty from many aspects, such as manager, project, and team. but still we get bounty the scam.

[Valareos]

It's hard actually. 80% of ICOs are failed to deliver their products but they still can pay bounties rewards and you can earn some money.

[Cocoincos]

I always try to read about team, also check rating sites and look at websites, I think you could see difference between normal site and scam!

[retnoanjani]

You are right currently is very difficult to find a good project which guaranteed we would getting reward as they promise in early. What we can do is just doing analysis about project development and planning. We should joining the bounty that have a trustfull manager which can minimalized of getting scammed.

Moreover, the scammers increasingly smart to hide their cheating. In fact, I've been stuck scam projects that dare to put their deceptive advertising project on several large platforms. Though the project is managed by a good bounty manager. That's crazy.

[iTradeChips]

I am itching to find out from you the name of the scam ICO that you are referring to. But I guess for ethical purposes you can send me a private message and I want to find out if it is the same ICO that scammed me in the past. But then again there are ICOs with very good presentation that you definitely though was legit in the start only to find out when they got 10 million dollars there is no turning back.

[Ingoats]

Indeed, it cannot be determined at first. That is why it is hard to choose a project to participate with because such uncertainty is possible to happen all the time. Whenever campaigns are scam, participants cannot do domething about it but to accept and learn from it. To somehow lessen the risk, check for the team's background in order to make partial assumptions about the campaign itself.

Ratings do not give a 100% guarantee, as well as information about the team. The most effective and proven way is to take an active part in the social part of the project. Then you will be able to get acquainted with the team or to analyze how they generally lead the social part.

[ofeefee]

Some of the scam projects are very easy to spot. Unfortunately the scammers are improving and are more sophisticated now. Some of the scam projects are so good that is nearly impossible to detect.

The right move. We can utilize websites that provide reviews of some ICOs as assessment materials. Usually, I see ICO bench and cryptocompare to help me analyze. Although there is no guarantee for sure, it is quite helpful. Remember, we must understand every risk.
