Projects Scamming Bounty Hunters

[Casdinyard]

Easy to say that but in reality, it stinks.

Unfortunately, but you can not protect 100% against scam. In my opinion, there are only two things you can do to reduce the risk of being cheated:
1. Choose only campaigns run by trusted managers (they should verify the credibility of the project before cooperating with it).

Even they verify, it doesn't guarantee that they won't get scam as even managers are also the victim unless they are paid in advance right before they launch the bounty.

2. You need to verify by yourself if the project is credible by checking the dev team, whitepaper, roadmap, etc.

Some projects made everything perfect so we won't doubt and besides paying some bucks to professional web designer and content writer will be nothing on the amount that they can run of.

The focus of bounty hunters just money, so as they will try to take a part with bounty campaign which pay its participant with the large amount of money. They don't care with whatever project even some of them just directly join without any know the ins and out of the project. Whereas, the developer of the project itself is extremely need the performance of them.

These things cannot be used by bounty campaign as an advantage as they wanted. Such as to get paid in form of stable coin or the coin which has been listed on the exchange. So when the project end up to scam/shitcoin they have been paid because the payment system will occur once a week such signature campaign which paid in btc.

My conclusion is, I won't blame scam project that always be popping up but I just deplore to the bounty hunter's behavior as if they were worthless. I mean, they aren't focus to the function of the project that will be used in the future, the team behind the project and the bounty manager that being trusted to manage the bounty program but they only focus to the reward that will be obtained.

A lot of projects are scamming Bounty Hunters and taking Bounty hunters for a ride. What can we do to stop this?

The only way to stop this is to stop supporting scam projects and if some idiot bounty hunters didn't know what is a scam project then let them get scammed because they don't learn or even bother to do their own research. It's been around here for a while these bounties who keeps popping up like a wild mushroom but only few of them are worthy for bounty hunters.

many people which is difficult to identify whether this is a good project or a scam, most of them see the number of prizes. we should have a discussion thread about the project so that we can sharing whether the project is good or bad, but unfortunately, this is difficult to do, because when people get a really good project, they will choose silence, so that not many people join and he gets results the big one.

Let those blind hunters to keep being victimized, it's a matter of good research and better understanding with the projects that you are going to support a lots of scam but if you do your analysis and you carefully assess if there's real potentials and if everything inside the road map do have real possibilities then you can proceed. Without that best not engage to avoid wasting your time.

We cant do anything to stop this scam projects to continue to exist but we can do something to prevent ourselves joining in such projects.

Make a research and dont believe easily with high rewards. Much better if you will only join in a campaign that pays in btc or eth weekly so you dont have to worry that you'll not get paid after months of your effort to qualify for the rewards.

Majority would really be hoping for some possible good pays with their shit coin without even realizing that they are just basically wasting up their effort and time on doing things which doesnt even considered to be paid up in the end of time.

Its all fluffy and warm when you first start doing it but you see the bad effects after some time, if you know what I mean

Its true for these bounties too. But they realize it later, just like any other newcomer. We try to do out best to tell them to not take part in altcoin bounties but take part in this forum which can lead to a better rank in the long term and they would be able to join the bitcoin campaigns. But few actually listen. First timers are the biggest victims of these waste of time hunts.

They still think 2017 bull run will happen every year. How you expect them to understand the truth?

I feel sorry for them because they are trying to make some money here but in order to make some good cash you have to know everything about of the said investment or projects that you are going to help to promote. If you don't know anything about them then it would be a waste of good energy promoting some scam project.

A pretty vague statement to make in a thread.

As long as there are people who joined in a scam project and promoting it scammer cant be defeated.

If you know a project is scam you would not promote it would you? Bounty hunters are more or less informed about things like these and their lack of intellect and critical thinking makes them victims. They know that the bounty wont be paying well even if its not a scam one but they still promote them like their life depended on it. You cant make these red-pilled bottomfeeders stop by just telling them unless they realize the truth.

No, there is a way to stop those scammers. Just don't join in all altcoin bounties and they can't scam you and others anymore. Just join in btc paid campaign or campaign which willing to use escrow for their bounty amount

yeah it seems like that's the only good way to avoid scammers, I'm sad that a lot of prize hunters are only paid with junk coins or crap from scamming bounties and some prize hunters switch to BTC paid campaigns, i think that's is good because the chances of being fooled are very few. scammers indeed is can not be stopped but we can avoid it.

They control everything they set up the rules, they can change the rules, they can lock the token, they delay the distribution, any kind of cheats that there is, they will do these poor bounty hunters, the only way we can take a revenge is to make a report in the scam section and ask people to support a negative flag and ask investors to never buy their token, or better take a vacation from these ICO bounty campaigns.

yes bounties in btc payment are good campaigns to join , but almost all of them are full no more slots so some bounty hunters have no choice but to join in altcoins which has high risk .

Free spots in BTC paid campaigns appear quite often. However, the condition to get into the campaign is to write good quality posts and, above all, useful for community to receive merits, which are also often needed to get a spot in a BTC paid campaign. So you have the choice: to improve the quality of written posts, or join bounty campaigns, which recently are mostly scam.

As sad as this might sound there is little or nothing hunters can do, most times hunters work themselves out for more than three months and at the end of the waiting period some bounty managers extends the bounty or refuse to pay with the excuse of hunters dumping down the price of the token, the saving grace that hunters are to apply is to make a background check on the bounty managers track records of bounty he has handled,  do he successfully pays his hunters or not. Doing this wil help you know whether if at the end of bounty you will get your reward or not

Hunters should amalyze the project, set points to consider in joining an project, we should not join because of prize we must know whether the project is legit. We should stop wasting our time doing bounty task so at very first we need to study it before joining.

The most important thing is to check the project and reduce the risk that is created by a scammer to the minimum. Unfortunately, scammers are getting smarter and creating more trustworthy projects that are actually fake. If we stop joining them and we look for only legit campaigns, then maybe scamming bounty hunters will end.

Not join bounty campaigns anymore. That is the most effective solution to this problem I guess. If there will be no more bounty hunters joining these scams, there will be no more victims. There will be no more scam bounty campaigns also because they know that they will end up with zero participants. But for as long as there are participants, scam bounty campaigns will also continue to thrive.

Whether get a reward or not, bounties and airdrops will be an alternative for people to earn crypto for free. So it seems indeed impossible to really want to get rid of the bounty campaign. In my personal opinion, it would be better if we focus on ourselves and really choose a good bounty or no longer join a bounty campaign, but let people who still want to join the bounty campaign.

[anume123]

Before joining the bounty campaign, we must first look at the whole, starting from the team, the attractive white paper, the project design going forward, their products and cooperation, so we must know in advance so that the bounty that we promote is not in vain.
If the project only relies on the bounty for marketing or promotion then leave it because it doesn't or report on the "Scam Accusations" board

At the first i know that already but lot of people almost scam, even the project looks good after the campaign was finish those admins can't follow their own roadmap so the impotance of tokens not worth it.
