Globatalent scamming its bounty hunters : paying them 70 times less

[kenzawak]

My wife did the French translations for them.
She was supposed to receive 226406.25 tokens for her work, she got 3192.19.

She is number 126 on the spreadsheet :

On telegram, they say a mistake was made in calculations and that they will give bonuses to people who participate in future campaigns.
I've seen this kind of behaviour before, I call it a bribe:



Of course, I got banned from their telegram.

Here is the link to their bounty thread :

EDIT : screenshot from my wife's telegram




The token is supposed to be worth $0.07, which means a reward worth about $200 if all goes well for translations that took her about 60 hours of work.

They will not settle for you, because they are greedy.

[jatinjax1]

They have banned me too

[robelneo]

They have a very long bounty campaign and they cheat their participants, it's like adding insult to injury, and their bounty manager does not have a good reputation also he is involved in two fraud campaign, better check the reputation of the campaign you are joining.

[lx001]

It's normal practice today, I'm unable to count all the times when payments were significantly decreased. It just tells you that the project is shit, do not even bother getting the full amount. And this particular token is worthless anyway, you can sell it just for 1 Etoshi on Etherdelta.
Yeah, they're giving away $1M but cannot afford to find someone to correct all the grammatical mistakes on their page.

I had similar problem with a bounty payment for a campaign and I started a thread to collect together members who were also in the same situation.  With the bounty I took part in after confirmation of the task being completed and assurances amounts would be paid, they decided over 14 days that all payments must pass KYC or by nullified.  However they never altered the payment sheet to notify the people owed of this new requirement, this led them then denying any responsibility for payment of the bounty they had previously promised to pay.

We should really keep a record of all companies that setup and along the way fail to pay out participants with one excuse or not.   I can pass KYC or many other requirements but to exclude people after the figures were set with a new change and short notice seems very similar to this threads details with an 'unfortunate mistake' that unilaterally benefits the companies costs.    I think you should make sure to keep a good copy of all details so nothing is lost over time and there is no doubt of failure to pay

[tranduong123]

They say there is mistake in calculating the total reward, That is a disgusting lie. They have had several months to audit this campaign, yet at the last minute they say there is mistake . 

[coinnumber]

Am a victim of this scam project too I believe they did this simply because the think hunters has no choice this project has be on for like 11months its now the team sees the error its a big insult. There was no official announcement or changed in calculation the spreadsheet is still correct, to me this is not the fault of the BM rather the teams are very greedy and take the work and waiting of hunters for 11months for granted.

Here is what they wrote as the official announcement Posted on the group by LASISI122 one of the project Admin


There was a mistake in the table provided as it showed allocation for all the campaigns and not this  particular bounty campaign
There are more campaigns planned.
We will provide a bonus to the ones participating in future campaigns that participated in this one.
We are sincerely sorry 🙏 for the gross miscalculation miscalculation

this is very annoying!!!

[kenzawak]

I invite all of you to tag all the people involved in this campaign, especially the BM  newsilike  and to spread the word about all this on the social networks.
I already posted a few times on Twitter and Facebook.
You shouldn't fuck with your community.

[nreal]

I also joined a bounty, the manager has reduced everyone's reward by 30%, but with this project, it reduced the reward to 70 times, which is unacceptable. Everyone share the scam info of this project, letting them see the consequences of their evil deeds.

[rik1]

we should make a video about there scam and post in social media channel

[heavenknows]

THIS PROJECT IS A BIG SCAM. They have reduce the bounty rewards to almost 1000%.. When you ask on their telegram channel. They will ban you.

[zhullanhz]

I also don't receive 100% tokens from the amount of bounty globatalent.
1. They previously spilled airdrop, but I did not find the result
2. distribution prizes are very long why they don't check beforehand if there is an error in the prize table, it must be followed immediately, but everything is informed when it's time to distribute tokens

[peloso]

I have a similar shit with this bastards and when ask why they ban me in telegram
this is SCAM

[queennathalia]

I am also a victim of that bounty. I waste my time and effort and After all they decreased our reward without any announcement before distribution. They corrupt the reward for us. I expected to receive of amount 14k to 15K GBT and I can prove that using the spreadsheet and I received only 1k+. And If our bounty manager was concerned he will announce it immediately but there is no announcement. And Admin on that project said they announced this issue 3days ago. So it means they changed the reward while distribution happening.

Additional: They secret the amount of all raised from investors. And that is not transparent to everyone. This is not good for all participant and also to investors. If they're concern, He/she have a quick response and concrete statement about the all issues.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Looks very scammy to me, and I tagged the bounty manager for allowing this shit to continue.  I have little sympathy for bounty hunters, and I've made my position on that clear in the past--but I can't stand scamming ICOs and the bounty managers who are likely in on the scam.  

You guys ought to really choose your future bounties more carefully, not that I know of a good way to tell whether something like this crap is going to happen.  

Edit:

Hopefully there are many karma prayers for them

That will have zero effect, but do what you need to in order to make yourself feel better.
