I followed the instructions to the bounty posted on BitcoinTalk. I submitted the links to my articles. I asked BEFORE the bounty was distributed IF I needed to submit my articles any where else or do anything else. They told me I was "All Good". I put all of the work I did for the bounty in the bounty log on discord. I made posts about Eth Town on Reddit, Steemit, Twitter, etc. and constantly replied/supported the project. My life got busy and I stopped checking the discord channel because I assumed I was "all good". The main net was delayed and I never received any bounty/airdrop. These are the messages I received from the manager. I need to know... Am I at wrong or did I get scammed? https://imgur.com/a/4bcnJ5a

Why don't you contact some of the other participants and if they also were not paid than write a post detailing your experience in the scam accusation section.

Bounties that pays in tokens are always risk. Look for reputable and trusted managers. There are some bounties out there that pays with btc, which are much safer too. Try to explain the best you can the situation at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0 Scam Accusations board. If it was your first bounty, it is possible that you made something wrong too, so they skipped your payment. Try to contact the manager before opening the accusation..

I’m prevention of situations like this, All you need to do is make a comprehensive research always
About the project the team and the bounty manager Never embark on a bounty because the review is good
Make your own research Do your review too before joining

The posters above me has said it all. Go to the right section where complains like this are been discussed so that you can get proper attention and maybe you might get your payment also.

I think you need provide more information about this project and the conversation between you and bounty manager. And you can move this post to Scam Accusations section. If there are other participants be scammed like you, they will confirm that.

Is there a written copy of the terms of the bounty? Was it specified beforehand that you had to be active in their discord, in order to receive the bounty? Did you know that they were going to issue the bounty after contacting you on Discord?
If not, I'd say it's definitely a scummy thing to do, from their side.

But really if you look at the rules for the bounties now you will see where they say that they reserve the right to remove anyone from their bounty and they do not have to explain why so maybe that is what happened here.

Terms and conditions don't mean much in crypto, you do the work with the risk of not being paid the bounty. Some don't care about us bounty hunters they think our work is not important and we are just out to get free tokens to dump. Choose you project wisely and look for good bounty managers

This is normal in bounty hunting, expect that you will not get some token from your work. You should know this kind of risk, and if you failed in some of your work do work again, there’s a lot of good bounties out there try to figure it out. You not got scammed, it just so happen that you work with a failed project.

I know that being a bounty hunter must be ready to accept all projects that do scams, I have experienced many scams while participating in bounty campaigns, many people ask how to avoid scam ICOs? I think it is very difficult to avoid scam ICOs, this forum should have regulations and filters for registered ICOs.

yes, it looks like you have been exposed to fraud by the project. to prevent this from happening again you have to learn a lot and analyze a lot about a project so you will not be trapped in this situation. You only spend time by following a scam project.

There are indeed risks in this business and that can partly because there are many Bounty Managers who are not good on what they are doing and they allowed themselves to get corrupted by self-serving interests instead of sharing what should be reserved for the people who worked for the bounty project. This kinda sad to hear that in this industry we are being victimized by the selfishness of other people. Cryptocurrency is now being held by so many scammers, phishers and hackers...m not wondering if there are many people who are shying away from this industry all because they are afraid to be part of the victim statistics...just like me. As an industry, we should really be doing something about this problem.

To be honest, I had been in the forum for 10 months now and still I happen not able to experience being paid for the bounties that I had joined. Even if it is very unfair on my part since my 10 months of my participation hasn't paid off, I decided to still continue for I believe I will make it someday. Anyways, in connection to your problem, try to contact the bounty manager for the status of the bounty campaign that you are participating. I believe that this scam ICO can be prevented if only these ICO's that are running their campaign in this forum should be atleast be filtered or screened properly.

If you got scammed for a bounty, probably after doing all of your bounty tasks, you ended up not getting rewards, I would advise that you shouldn't give up yet and start to think that there's never anything to gain from doing bounties, but keep in mind that you have to do some underground researches next time before involving in a campaign, to make sure that the bounty is legit and not going to be another waste of time.

Try to join only bounties that are managed by the best managers on the forum. From my experience Amazix, Sylon, btcltcdigger and Bountyhive always pay the promised coins from their campaigns. There are other great managers also, so do a better research before you join a bounty campaign.
