It is hard to detect scammed bounty campaign..

[nikola22]

Choosing a bounty campaign its not easy today. We need to make sure the bounty campaign that we want participate is legit. I think a good way to prevent fraud project is following famous bounty manager. Not 100% work but at least the project is acceptable.

even famous bounty manager may be cheated by scammers. bounty hunter should also study the project and see the rel people behind it and activity like meetings with investors or events.

It is very difficult to do this, so you should pay great attention when choosing a campaign, find out all the information about the creators, the team and their plans, as well as product readliness.

I think it is extremely hard to detect a scam bounty and a scam project. I had some bounty campaigns that at the end of the campaign simply disappeared. I need to be more careful

[Maamejane]

Its really hard to detect since most at times they come with similar features of that of a real bounty. Without a thorough research then forget it you might end up been duped. That is why most at times many get involve.

The main problem is that you usually detect it too late and then you are probably taking longer to quit.

Kinda true and this happens most of the time when it comes to ICO
Distinguishing a good project and scam ones is quite the challange you need to analyze the developers furthermore whether they are real thing or not and even if they are doesnt necessarily eliminate the risk involved.

In most cases, it is difficult to differentiate a good project from a scam project, because these scammers ensure everything about the project look so real. Therefore, anyone can fall a victim even with extensive research being conducted about the project.

Yes of course even good bounty managers nowadays handling scam projects so which means good bounty manager were having a hard time also to identify scam projects or not. This is why many investors nowadays are having some problem when it comes to trusting a project to invest. Anyway, well just be positive that the governments on each countries will help to solve this problem even if it means taxing tge cryptocurrency.

Scam projects mainly look for easy ways to promote themselves. Big investors are looking for big bonuses in private sales and scammers use this fact for their own advantage. I don't blame bounty managers because they don't have more info than bounty hunters regarding possibility of scam.

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?

It is very difficult to detect a scam project at the beginning of the campaign. Because the project looks good and is wrapped so perfectly. But after being in the middle of a trip or the project has finished, it is known that the project is problematic. In my opinion who can know if this project will be a scam in the end? No one can predict that. We may have accepted the fate of each of us and accepted what had happened even though we were careful in choosing projects.

[Nasonn]

I can't remember the number of bounties I have participated in that turned out to be scam. One things I've come to accept is to move on each time it happens because there's nothing one can do.

Probably need to say that today it is almost impossible. Scammers learn very quickly and we contribute to this, because all our information is constantly updated and how you need to behave is already known to every scammer.

exactly.  therefore, only market regulation can help us to avoid scam projects. There are no other ways.

[Olayinka225]

No it is not really hard.
As for me, what I do whenever am been introduced to a particular bounty is that:

I checked the teams behind this project
Check there website
Less concerned about the whitepaper
And also I checked the bounty manager reputation, how many successful bounty has he/she handled.

[Yusuf77]

your opinion is very true we must be more careful because we generally know after we finish doing our work and that often happens

[Cryptmuster]

Trust me its really more than hard to detect when a project is purposely to scam others. They most at times comes with all the details and really look appealing than the real ones. The most confusing aspect is even when they are given a higher rating at the various ICO rating sites.

It is very difficult, so the scammers learned to hide their lies that I remember even the case when a scam project went on the stock exchange and was trading quite successfully until it was revealed and scam project was announced. Everything is so disguised that it is almost impossible.

[d_fitrie]

Some standardization according to me personally before deciding to join a bounty
1. The concept is clear and innovative
2. Real teams, at least have a linked account and a good work history
3. Partnering with big companies or famous Exchangers
4. Good feedback from investors on the telegram, and others

Of the several bounties that I have followed based on the above standardization, I have received a large payment from the bounty

* note, scam risk can occur at any time and need to be routinely analyzed at the ICO

It's so disheartning  since so many bounty campaigns are turning out this way. Howbeit,  it has been on my mind lately that there should be a way to devise some mechanism to detect these scam projects flying over everywhere

[Olatunjex]

Bounty campaigns that are potentially scam would give very high amount of reward to attrack many bounty hunters if so you should check if the project and the team is reliable, if the reward is low and the campaign is likely to be scam never join in.

That is true, outrageous and big bounty pool is a red flag and a signal that a project could end up as scam, every bounty i have done with huge pool have all ended up being scam. You have a good point.

Well, I can tell you that it hard to detect scammed bounty campaign because most of the scammed project are now doing things in a new which even reputable manager also fall as a prey. Although, the step you mentioned are a good to escape scam project but the best way to be sure of a project in joining a project that already have things going on(having license, already have some online project before switching to blockchain).
This is why I decide to join VITE cause it already listed on exchange.

To choose a bounty campaign, I advise you to look at the status of the manager on this forum. The higher the status, the more reliable. This does not give a 100% guarantee, but most of the scams come from managers with the status of Newbie.

See the ICO rating on sites such as ICOBench and others. Do not join companies with a rating below 60% (3.5 on ICOBench).

Do not join the company from any managers from Amazix.

P.S. In choosing a bounty, this free table can help you: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19fLkDCH0E4uOrYlgqAVixmCIOGupLl8cLRlwttvXsT8/edit#gid=0

ico rating site is not guarante ico campaign and bounty campaign are legit even the ranking is high, but we can minimize the risk for not joining in campaign with low rate
