How Can We Fought Back?

[jonas5222000]

well you can't expect scammers to ONLY scam those who invest in them and not scam others like those who "work" for them! when you decided to advertise a scam project for a scammer running an ICO scam, you should have expected to get scammed like this. that is how these people work.
the only way to fighting back is to stop being desperate for the tiny amount of payment and never participate in advertisement of any ICO.

Yes it would be nice if you will never be desperate for their flowery project,and yes scammer are unpredictable we couldnt know if they are but we can avoid them by observing their project if they are really promising or if their project was the thing that we need to have in our daily lives.

The only thing that bounty hunters can do is create an anti-advertising project to spoil their face. But I think fraudsters are not afraid of a spoiled face.

Yes because they knew government law can not reach them as long government unregulated cryptocurrency ICOs. Beside that, most scammer using others people face on their website.

Yes, its very sad to say that bounty hunters are not paid all the time or team cut the bounty allocations for the hunters to get lesser reward. And this must be stop. I hate when the project's team didnt appreciate the effort of hunters promoting their project everyday. Much better if the bounty allocations are always in escrowed to eliminate this fraud projects.

More and more Project are not paying Us bounty hunters for are work example of that 👉 ATHERO this project fooled us keep saying dates of distribution, is their any way to get even with this Scammers or is their any way to get them reported so that people will see what they really are?

Yesterday, a project manager completely ruined my mood. When declared that we are all cheaters. And they will not pay (we have done a job, we are cheaters, but they just will not pay) This has greatly distressed me. I understand that they do not understand.


Perhaps we need a tool to protect today from fraud. Which somehow can influence the projects. A tool that can spoil the reputation of the project.


But for this, all participants must subscribe to what they did advertising the project and they were deceived. In the form of a blog or news site. Where every project that deceives the hunters will be responsible to the community.

There are ways, you can hinder their marketing campaign if you want to get back at them.  You must organize a group so that your aim will have weight.  Once you organize a group you can then do the following:

Disrupt their twitter campaign by sending your sentiments and the issue.
Post on facebook how these scumbags evade their responsibility of paying you.
Create article on social media platforms such as medium and its likes.

This is a hard task and needs an organized group to have weight on your claim and you can start it by creating a scam accusation just like the other suggested here and gather all the unpaid participants to support your cause.  If they do not participate, it won't go anywhere.

Because the majority of ICOs, IEOs and STOs cannot have something familiar with US investors or bounty hunters. Thanks to your government, it is unfortunately true and you cannot complain, because it is literally illegal.

I have experienced such bounty campaigns and it's really very frustrating. So I suggest you report about scam in the scam section and give every positive reasons why the project is a scam.

You can report them in the forum if you have enough proof that they are scamming bounty participants, it will destroy their reputation and knowing this is a big forum, it will be bad for them, they won't pay in return their reputation is bad. Unfortunately, if they are really scamming, no one can enforce them to pay since there is no legal contract on the bounty campaign.

I agree that prevention is one way to deal with this problem. Bounty hunters should thoroughly research the projects and ensure the teams are legit. Also, any project that does not care about its reputation online is obviously unworthy as an investment.

Honesty mate, prevention is better than cure, instead of bothering ourselves and allowing in regrets after the bad thing has been done, it will be better to do everything possible to prevent ourselves from being a victim of these scam and unserious projects. And the only simple task is to do a thorough research till we are 100% convinced about the project.

There are so many thing we can do during our research to really know a reliable projects in which some of them has been discussed in this bitcoin forum, I also grabbed one idea from a user recently, where he said we should take a step to push forward in contacting the team directly either through physical contact or media contact, such as voice and video calls.

[Peruvyn]

It is very pathetic what bounty hunters always go through from all this scam project and there is no way we can fight and no one is ready to fight for us. I also promoted this thinking that something tangible will come out of it but it wasn't.

I have worked in the Athero Bounty campaing in Linkedin and facebook, in latest spreadsheet i earned 80.000 THO coins and in last 2 months i tried to fight back, i wrote 100s times in their telegram channel and (now they closed their official telegram channel for chat) wrote on their threat on here bitcointalk. But still i have nothing in my hand now.. 80k THO coins would make like 1 BTC and i have lost all my hopes and i am sure thay i won't be able to get any rewards. I am ready to do anything for help if you ask..

I agree. But the problem is bounty hunters are sometimes not selective when choosing the project they want to advertise especially in times like this wherein the market is not performing well thus they tend to grab what's available there to have an income.

I think there's no way to punish those scammers since they are not exposing their real identity, lack of regulation are one of the few problems why this is happening.

If you're a bounty hunter make sure to choose a genuine project by doing a research and dont believe easily with their good promises.

It is a bad situation and am not sure there is any means of fighting back
There are terms attached to bounty and we all adhere to it before participating

This makes it difficult for bounty hunters to fight back

But with unity and support from bounty manager; we can prevail

Definitely, we don't have any support that could help to stop them and force them to give of what should be for the particiants. even though we know him, only we can raise a scam accusation but can't bring them into jail and put inside that bars. We don't have their control, and so we can't expect that they'll give us of what they promise.

There's nothing we can do if they are keep promissing date to launch their project. You know what not only ATHERO project I have encountered like that, they keep promising us just to be patient they are not ready commencing yet due to the market situation. So, in that case, if the market situation did not recover it means they are not going to list their token on an exchange. Correct, we don't have anything to do like this, it's totally wasting our time.

[coinbirds]

Athero was active on social media and they promised the bounty payout to be until 20th of April.
Then they disappeared, and I still do not understand what happened as they seemed a legit project.

[labilaab]

I feel you mate. And so far joining bounty I get scammed twice already. The other project I joined just tell us in telegram this statement, '' Dev,

MESSAGE FOR COMMUNITY

We're grateful and appreciate everyone who devoted their time on Encrybit. We've created a project that would have stand in market with unique concept and extraordinary team but it was a disastrous that the ICO launched and market collapsed.

We've attended multiple meetups, conferences and personal meeting with investors but the same response everywhere that they see collapsing and can only invest in market where it reaches again from where it started dumping. Due to insufficient investment ICO didn't reached the soft cap.

After exploring each and every options we had, coming to a decision to take this project down as of now. It’s hard but truth. We're not committing anything from here but we'll continue pitch the investors privately and if anything comes out useful and profitable we'll start the project again.

This decision came in mind after lot of back and forth, its hard to accept but this is the climax of Encrybit. The investment we got will be returned soon.

We hope you guys will patiently understand and accepts it. ''

What the heck? After all the months of efforts I put to this project to promote in social sites and in BTT, this strategy of exiting they are telling us? Damn them.

[mardaed]

ICO is no longer be profitable because of many scammer project lurking around and the saddest part is we cannot disclosed any of them. But as i know the new IEO, for my knowledge this is better than ICO because they can track the best project when they held on exchange. After that scammers will be minimized.

[ariyzt]

the best way we can do just go to here and write down all your statement about the project that scammed bounty hunter

another way we can sphread the news to their social media
