Some time ago I decided to participate in bounty programs. Started with airdrops, twitter and telegram campaigns and later took a look at signature campaigns in bitcointalk.
Created account, reached Jr.Member level and full of optimism applied for the first signature bounty without deep enough researches about the project. Even absence of info about team didn't stop me. How stupid I was.... The ICO turned out to be scam and no desirable tokens received of course Smiley

Do not be so stupid as me, read about project, take a look at the team, read whitepaper and check some ratings. It can save you from wasting you time for 4-8 weeks....

By the way.. how many scam ICOs have you participated?

I think this happens to everyone who participated in bounty campaign especially in their early days. As you gain more experience, you can better distinguish which ones are likely to be scam and which ones are likely to be legit. But even with good experience, some would still fall to "soft cap not reached, no payment to bounty participants"

I joined a lot of bounty campaigns and I don't even remember how many I have finished and how many are really paying and legitimate. All I can say is hustle hard mate, these times might be tough for you because you're quite new here but just hustle and you'll see your fruit of labor.

This is why I dont join a lot of bounty or airdrop or ICO unless I am very sure about the project.
You can easily get scammed here.

This is really common even if you have done your research. I have participated in bounties that never paid or the project was a scam and tokens are worthless now (e.g. Centra).

I have not been able to participate in a large number of campaigns yet. To reduce the likelihood of participating in the scam campaign, I choose projects from well-known managers or groups of managers. This compensates for inexperience in the choice of bounty.

I didn't participate in any scam ICO. That was my luck i suppose. The first time when i was scammed was on crypto world and i deposit bitcoins to a "cloud mining site" after 2 or 3 days i made the deposits site was no more available and never get back on, and not got my bitcoin back.

You always should choose ICO after many verification and check the team always. Is a hard work and sometimes you must be very open-eye to detect scams.

SCAM ICOs are everywhere. Everyday I am hearing news about scam icos. This is becoming a severe problem also it is degrading the reputation of cryptocurrency. This needs an immediate solution.

I've participated 2 scam ICO's which is Uchit and Impressio, glad I've just joined their social media campaign because if I joined their signature campaign it would be a waste of time. I didn't made a deeper research that's why I got fooled on those ICO's.

Well that is totally your fault you fell for it. You saw that they did not give out any information about them publicly which is one the signs about them trying to scam people. But you still went on to join them knowing that they will scam, so you indirectly encouraged them to scam more people. Make sure next time you be careful and alert others if you think they are trying to scam.

Thats sad, I have faced two scam ICOs during 6 months of bounty hunting, one of them was GasFiles, I spend about 5 weeks for them and at the end they have just deleted all counts, they even haven't payed to the bounty manager.

In the world of cryptocurrency, there is a lot of scam. It is difficult to determine whether it is fraud or not. Even top managers such as Amazix team or TokenSuit had scam projects in their management.

I waste too much time and affect in scam bounty, too. Bị then I'll draw some experience to pick the bounty. Suggest you choose manager of bounty campaign, or try Amazic team's bounty, bountyguru.

I was not lucky to invest in several projects, which in total reduced my initial capital by 3 times. But in parallel, I invested in projects such as ICON and Cindicator, which were able to significantly improve my finances in the future. Since then, I began to pay much more attention to the comprehensive study of the project.
