Personally I have never stumbled upon scam but I think it's pretty nasty feeling. I just can suggest everyone stay calm because there is a lot of scam here and everyone may stumble upon it.

A friend of mine recently joined a bounty project and wore their signature for good four month making 15+ post every week and accumulating his require stake for the week for the entire bounty project. Just at the close of the last week of the bounty campaign he found out that the project was a scam. Ever since then, he feels very awful and despairs bounty projects.
Today, i was hoping you could share your feelings about your experience with scam bounty projects. You might want to leave behind words of motivation for my buddy to ginger him back into the business of bounty work.
I also experienced the same situation. But I found out that the project was scam in the 3rd week. And I stopped wasting time with it, It's terrible when we finish the campaign and in the last week we know it's a scam. Like a sense of betrayal, So we need to spend a lot of time researching the project if we want to start with it

How I felt? not really bad, because I always had in mind that a project could fail or become scam before completing the campaign, that was a risk I knew I was taking and what I think everyone should do.

indeed for projects that scams I often get but fortunately they have been detected before I have been in the project for a long time, but don't give up with such circumstances, but we have to look for a better and more successful bounty project

my mind was about to blow up when i found out that the project i was working on for 3 months was a scam all along. but we cant blame them cause, we cant be scammed if we did our research about the particular project. we cant stop scammers form what they do best, what we can do is to avoid being scammed.

There have been a few projects that friends of mine invested in, even though I told them it was an obvious scam. One of the more memorable ones was Hexcash because it was offering ridiculous amounts of profit in a very small time frame. Any rational person would know that these claims cannot be true, hence you cannot trust the project from the outset. Just be rational when investing bro, it's not hard.

Just at the close of the last week of the bounty campaign he found out that the project was a scam. Ever since then, he feels very awful and despairs bounty projects.

I know how it feels dear. Because I have faced the same situation. I was doing a signature campaign of a project and after ending the campaign we all knew it was a scam. No any project admins or bounty manager replied us ever.

Its best not to worry about it, some are scams but some give out huge rewards so it balances out. Just get on with doing the next one.

But you need to know which scam projects are scam to stop and can not waste useless. In addition, advertising for scam projects will inadvertently harm investors, investors will lose money when investing in those projects. You need to be responsible as a bounty hunter

It's really hurtful. I haven't had that experience yet. I participated in a maximum of one project for 22 weeks and then received $ 200. This of course little, I would even said very little, but nevertheless what the money I received.

There is plenty of scam out there. Worthless tokens trading on Idex. Airdrops that start on bitcointalk and then get moved to discord and a sale of masternodes, 10000 ETH giveaway on Twitter, fake selling of bitcointalk accounts... The list is endless. Nothing wrong with bounties but DYOR before you invest your time.

This is very sad, and everyone will not like this situation. After all, how much labor and time and hopes were invested.

I got several times on such projects. But my best experience was with one project that I conducted for 4 months, the same situation - 15 posts a week, big payments were promised, and how I was upset when I learned that this project was a scam. Unfortunately, this situation now.

Funny to see someone that scammed my account talking as a victim about being scammed.. thats called Karma dude, did you know??

And what remains to be done? I do not pay any attention to it, if projects with suspicion of fraud are encountered, I just stop doing them. I'm looking for a replacement. As the saying goes, "if it happened, it will not change"

Never got scammed here. Poor guy, must have felt like shit for him. I would have been mad too. But to be honest, he has to blame himself. There probably were some signals which showed that the project will end up being a scam and he might have ignored it(maybe a extremely good pay which he did not want to lose). He should have properly gone through everything before joining the campaign. Hope he learned his lesson and will take precautions in the future.

Naturally, its a must that you must feel bad for it because after doing those works for a long time and face such disappointment, its definitely going to affect the hunter but this is one of the setbacks we witness in bounty hunting. We all have to live with it and research good bounties before going in

Everyone will be devastated if they find out that the campaign they are joining was a scam so always read the white paper before joining the current ico you are interested.

 There are a lot of scams out there. From free airdrops to fake ICOs. One really needs to be careful about these. If one wants to apply to these airdrops then I think the best way is to not send any crypto to any address. Also, for the ICO's confirming the contract address in all different platforms of the project would be the best way to go.

if I find a bounty project that is scam then I will be angry, sad and sorry because I have worked hard for the bounty. many people stop working on bounty projects because they are afraid of being disappointed again by another bounty project.
