Let's stand against Bounty Scammer.

[The Cryptovator]

As my title says, "Let's stand against bounty scammer". Do you know what is bounty scammer? Those project doesn't want to distribute stake of bounty hunters, I called them Bounty scammer.

It's been noticed lot of project just skipping after end of campaign. They even trying to listing their project on big exchange like Binace. (For example Vidy project) but they failed on voting fortunately. They scam bounty hunters mean had not paid stake. We can't take any action against them since all the fund on their hand. But I am upset about that, any bounty hunters not made sound against them. Some others who isn't victims they are making sound.


Bounty hunters ! You are the one who is promoting a project via Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Telegram, YouTube and some other social media. But after posting (spamming) on social media all hunters just become freeze. They forget about projects those they had promoted. They just care whatever they received. So why are you spamming on this forum and other social media if you can't ask them about your stake? Who is scammer I have no comment about them like fake team and so on, but those project is live and trading on some exchange then you might take some action against them.

Bounty scammer just not scammed you, they are scamming new peoples continuously. They are selling your token through exchange. Their intention isn't good, so they will just sold their token those are holding with them. Means listing on exchange is another opportunity to scam more peoples. Once their all token will sold out they will become freeze and token price will dump to near ZERO. Means so many traders will counter scam once again.


So what you would do? You also responsible for that scam. Who know how many peoples were invested on that scam project by visiting your post on social media. If like that happen you might take some action against. Post against bounty scammer like when you had posted during boulty campaign. Write against them and use hash tag like #scam and so on. Make thread against them on this forum and do free bounty once again against scammer. Write to the exchange where trading currently about their history. Write on exchange's social media so everyone will aware about their corruption. And trader will not fall into their project. Almost 10K to 15K user promote bounty campaign. So if all users make sound against bounty scammer and write social media then so many peoples would save their money and hunter also might get back their token when the project will see sound against them.  Only hunters could so that. You promote them free so write once again against them free. Show them you can do, tell them you were a part of their projects.


Perhaps my post will look like unrealistic to some peoples, but hunters could made it.

We can't actually blame bounty hunters to do what is needed for they are being paid for their service which is promoting, spamming and such. Most of bounty hunters are entering and participating campaigns because of the need for financial income, and thinking about the bigger picture of what might be the effect of their actions doesn't stand a chance to go against their way.
            People don't actually care about what is indirectly affecting them, as long as they achieve what they want and provide their needs, anything else will be irrelevant.

The forum itself stand against bounty scammers that's why you see DT members willing to support flag or tagged accomplice of this scam against humanity because that's what this scammers are doing. They use the hunters as slave and once they have achieved their goals via marketing and publicity, they refused to pay their employees (bounty participants).

We should focus more on encouraging affected users to expose this guys as they aren't exposing this scammers when they get scam. Not enough affected users are participating in accusation thread which just goes to show how less concerned about the issue they're. For affected users, you can always request for flag support or negative feedback related to Bounty & Bounty Manager scam on this thread and you'll get the support you need from me. I have been affected once and I know how it feels when you help a project get the publicity they desire but end up treating you badly (as a slave).

At this day, why would you engage in bounty hunting in the first place? You risk getting scammed, the project might flop and your earned tokens will be worthless, it might never be listed on exchanges, and even if everything works out, your reward earned during weeks of posting and clicking can end up being just a few dollars. It's not 2017 anymore, when you can earn hundreds of dollars for some retweets, people should move on already.

[BrewMaster]

well it is like wanting to stand against greed, not just your own greediness but the greed of other people! you can't really tell people to stop wanting to make money, they are new and greedy and want to believe in the promises of "huge return" and the "next bitcoin" crap they feed them and join their token scam fundraising shenanigan! and they won't change.

the solution is easy too in my opinion. only get paid in bitcoin so that you can first of all guarantee you are receiving something valuable not something worthless (ie the token) and secondly you make sure the owners have to spend money (which they should do if they are serious and not jus scamming) instead of paying with the token that didn't cost them anything to create. and finally using bitcoin gives them the opportunity to ask for escrow!
do this and 99% of scammers run away in the other direction.

Well, the moment they started to participate in a campaign, bounty hunters should have already been prepared to get scammed. That's just how most bounties are. Besides, even if you did report them, spread the word, they could just use another name, do it all over again. I doubt they'd lose much since in the first place they were already a scam.

Well, you can't blame them. They have nothing to fall into anymore sadly enough. And they can't really find anything else, bounties and campaigns are probably their best bet in earning using this forum.

Apparently, they're taking their chances to earn even they know they the risk beyond it. However, few times are enough not to continue wasting time and better yet move on.

Perhaps, even ICOs regain their spot, people won't buy it anymore because of the risk and definitely just a waste of time and money.

I guess everyone here should boycott the bounty campaigns, let's see if they can still raise the money they needed.

Not possible. Many bounty hunters that joining in social media is not really a bitcointalk user. They are just creating a newbie account to comply with rules in social media bounties.
You can see it for yourself on the Bounty Thread. They keep posting reports even though there is a note that the bounty program is already finished. I think they are using script to automatically
post there report in the thread.

What about me? is there any protection for me?
I have strong evidence and want to complete several well-known managers who plan to promote fraudulent projects and there are even some projects that they have managed for 2-3 months.
they don't work alone, you will be surprised that they actually work with some other famous managers.

Tag or by supporting flags will not change anything. We are doing it just for mark them, they really don't care about tag when they are already skip with million. I am asking make sound against them, it's not only on this forum. Call them scammer on every platform that hunters were promoted. So almost it will be viral and they might not scam any new investors. At least we might prevent some traders. Because when traders will know about their scam history then they won't trade their coins. Hunters only could do that like before they have done promotion.

I've seen few telegram groups in the past that tried to organize bounty hunters to start some action against projects that refused to pay them or changed rules after bounty is over dramatically, but unfortunately seems like all of them failed to last a bit longer, or to gain significant amount of followers. As you said, few thousand of bounty hunters can really create a lot of buzz, so those projects would be less inclined to attempt such a thing.

With that being said, bounty hunters should be more vigilant when choosing which bounty campaign to enter, especially if you are doing something more demanding like signature campaign or content creation. I understand that those that are doing twitter/fb part  of the campaign don't really choose or check much, but others that invest significant amount of time should really be thorough, after all you are investing your time, and  for me time=money.

Protecting people from being scammed is, besides what one can gather on their own, a community based feature, generally expressed through the Trust System and/or Trust flags and/or Scam accusations. If, as you say, you have strong compelling evidence of forum members that plan to promote scams, knowing that to be true, then by all means present it, with all the evidence you have. If your evicence is firm, it will probably be backed by others, giving more weight to the Trust valuation.

1 month from now, I will be posting a bounty that has a trait of scam. after we have finish promoting their project, they suddenly decide to conduct a KYC process which makes the bounty participants mad. they rush to close the KYC process just for 1 week. after 1 year they open the KYC form again and this time I already sent them my info. I have a total of 1.9 ETH of the rewards calculated by the current price today in the market. If they don't give me my due, after sending them the proof they asked for, I will name that project here in this thread. so you guys will see what kind of project I'm talking about.

[judeafante]

This has become very rampant but I'm lucky that I got all my stakes from all the bounty campaign, but if they scam bounty hunters, they should promote that bounty campaign as a scam if you do bounty in facebook then promote that project as a scam project in your facebook account and if you are a blogger and participated in their bounty campaign then post that it's a scam project for not paying you

[hugeblack]

I think it is the bounty hunters who determine how Scam projects work.
If you are going to get thousands of people promoting your project without checking out the project developers (team members,) whitepaper, money/coins guarantee, plans, and other fundamentals, they won't put much effort into improving their project.
Also, applying for a lot of projects without paying attention to their legitimacy or ensuring that they will pay will make them more greedy and try to create more and more scam projects.

Can destroying/ruining the reputation of those projects who already scammed them make any kind of difference? For projects who are still being traded yes but for ICOs who pulled off an exit scam I don't think voicing out your concern would make any difference on being paid back for your services. Bounty hunting is still a tricky way to earn since it's like ICO hunting where you need to DYOR in order to lessen your chances on being part of the scam, most newbies here don't want to promote a scam but due to their carelessness and thirst for money they still join shady projects because they only see the pay out.

[Lucius]

Can destroying/ruining the reputation of those projects who already scammed them make any kind of difference?

If these projects have the public announcement of the people who stand by them, then it certainly makes a difference that we show who they are, and thus at least destroy their reputation. That way, at least those same people won't be able to personally do something similar, because they will be labeled as scammers.

But most newbies will fall in the same trap more then once, even if they see red trust, flags and all other possible warnings. Knowledge is the key to success, and most of those who do bounty campaigns without any knowledge or experience serve as cheap or in most cases completely free labor.

We can not hold thousands of people to hand and guide them some safe way, we can only warn them of the risks arising out of this type of possible earnings, and maybe save some of them from disappointment and wasted time.

I don't think anyone will be able to withstand the tide of bounty hunters to join the bounty. Most of them did not check the validity of the project, which also applied to me at first. But by the way you warn about risk and time wasted, they will also begin to realize to be more careful in supporting one or two bounty.

Worked for months but got nothing , I hope there will be no  scam bounty in the future Because it's just a waste of time and harm others .
Many investors are harmed in their scam project, let's hope that the scammer will be destroyed on this earth !

The best which we could do over here is to avoid participating in ICO based bounties and need to form a federation wherein we need to demand them to pay us weekly through any of the listed coins rather than cheating us in the hope of tokens which we rarely receive and even that too when the project fails. We need to learn from the past as bounties are not helping anyone nowadays due to the fact that most of them are scam.
