Bounty hunters will never learn

[VDraci]

Today I managed to do research on cerlos bounty project and I find few red flags that I will like to share with you guys, here is the bounty project link

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5226965.0

1. At first, the red flag I spotted was the teams pictures, how hard can it be that teams can't take high quality pictures with a camera or their smartphones instead they used blurry pictures and it's same pictures on their LinkedIn account, the only difference is color, Black and White.

2. Secondly the CEO himself has two different names, the project website ( cerlos.io ) says Robert Bedard and on another website ( myitguyrob.com ) says Robert .H , to me I think the real Robert is Robert .H because the same picture was used on myitguyrob.com website, here is a screenshot from myitguyrob.com



3. Another red flag is one of the team advisor named ( Antoon Eggenhuizen ) which real name is unknown but another LinkedIn account says this man name is (Jaap Kolk ), below is another screenshot to back my claim



Now my question to all bounty hunters promoting this project is, what the hell are you guys doing? How do you even do research in the first place? These scams aren't that hard to see , I'm surprised many bounty hunters joined, this have a lot to say that people don't do research anymore and yet you will see them creating posts about not getting paid from bounty projects on this forum when the fault was theirs, Grow up Hunters, Grow up.

Yes, you are right! Bounty hunter will never learn. Because whenever they see a bounty they don't waste time because they become busy to submit their POA! New participants are coming continuously, so, they won't do research which is normal, maybe I was the same when I was new! But mate I am really worried and feeling worst that how can high ranked member goes for those scammy, shitty low reward bounties!

Some participants are just bots who keep registering blindly even after the project is over, especially the ones who make social media posts. Translators applying don't care about the project or that the manage is a newbie but just want to do work and then cry scam. Forget about even bounty participants, why investors get fooled here? They have a telegram group where people are interested in the token sale.

Also, here the reason is the token is listed on their unknown exchange and trading without volume (cause no tokens have been released I guess) and the project doesn't require KYC and hence they got thousands of social media participants.

The smart bounty hunters should be able to understand right now that almost all bounty hunters on this forum aren't doing their own part of finding truth about projects before promoting them, following hunters will only mislead you

[Novatech8]

Hunters are always in rush and too eager to make quick profit which leads to blindness to necessary things to watch out for, I don't blame these hunters for their actions, I think they deserve it when they don't get paid

[bluebit25]

And after a while, those bounty hunters complained why there were so many scam projects in this space. And how to limit projects like that. I was very surprised because they joined the bounty without offering any research on it, if they had learned and learned from the beginning, they would definitely have avoided these scam projects.

[electronicash]

now that you have brought this up, they may now realize it. it takes a lot of research actually and some of the bounty hunters are just not that good at research. i have tried looking into this CLEROS  but didn't uncover what you have found out. good for you. it would have been more devastating if you find out after a month from now. keep warning others about this and change its title so that people will know.

[TanakabZX]

The first time I checked the project out I knew it's red flag just like OP says, the use case turned me off because it's not something that needs to be on blockchain technology, building materials are offline things and it should stay that way

[Findingnemo]

Bounty hunters never care about the projects they only care about the rewards,the project you uncovered looks like having decent amount od bounty rewards so everyone who notices this thread will register straight away and expecting to make money by their continuous tasks.

Let them learn by their mistakes, for some people it takes 1 one lesson and for some it might take forever.

[janggernaut]

It's not about they never learn from their mistake before, but there are some ICOs which are looking good but in the end it will be scam their participants. Surely if they are only faked their Team, it's more easier to find rather than when they run away after Ico ends

[shoreno]

nice catch there op . i remember this tactic was also use by others  before ,  this is one way to hunt if the project is fake or not  . if people complain that they arent paid that only means that they arent doing it or they dont do other basic practice to spot a fake projects  . just dont mind them and dont stress your self too much on them  .  thats what they want , i gues they want to learn from thier mistake but others are already improving and havent fall from scams anymore  . those are the ones that we should be proud with

Now my question to all bounty hunters promoting this project is, what the hell are you guys doing? How do you even do research in the first place?

Nice catch mate. Actually this isnt hard at all to do, the problem with some hunters are their attitude. Being lazy is one way to describe it. If you cant do such simple thing such as this, then you may never know that youre only wasting effort. People who keeps doing a routine work like this will know how to prevent any scam and save much time to find more legit ones.

Also this one might be a good response. People working on scam projects arent amateur and even though they are scammer they still in line with the acts of their doing only minor slippage such as this is not always present to a professional scammer.


@for OP So dont blame all of them. You might just lucky to find an easy one but others are more harder than this.

[jessyj48]

This is very laughable, when people hear that you can make money on this forum promoting other projects they quickly want to join as if it's always that easy, research is what most don't want to do, people like dreaming in their head whereas action speaks more

[VDraci]

Bounty hunters should start understanding the importance of research, without research you will be like a stray bullet that can hit anything that's never aimed for, you will be vunerable to scam projects

[Viscore]

Only few of the many here really cared to review the project they are joining, it's a good thing you bring it out here, hopefully the manager itself first will see and conduct and investigation, if the manager finds it shady then he should be the one to stop the campaign, and participants will surely understand.

[Greatchu]

It means the bounty manager himself is not a serious type, how can he even accept such project just to ruin his reputation? I guess it's same mistakes that bounty hunters use to do, lack of research

[Jateng]

Yes you're right. Projects that does not have any value in the market and some projects are just copying or editing the ideas of the previous projects. We should be carefully analyze and study of what kind of project are we will be joining. I always check every details of the project on what are they aiming to. Check always the team behind that project, read the whitepaper or simply what is their objective.
Some bounty hunters are just greedy and simply joined every campaigns they want. It's easy to trick them and they just waste their time and effort doing it then after the project is ended they blaming them why they are not paid. It's their fault not to check it first.

The fastest way to detect scam projects is clicking on their image and searching with google image search engine and you will get some secrets in return, nice try OP, nice try, this is very simple and easy

Not a surprising thing because if people do able to see million usd allocation then they do directly jumped in without any hesitations as long they do have that thing in mind that they would make big money in the end of the campaign ones they had been paid up with shit tokens. 

Nice spot here op and this should how people do make some research yet it doesnt really cost huge time for you to spot these red flags.Majority of launched projects as of this moment are just pure scams and frauds.
This would still continue as long there are people who do still advertise and spread up the word and the cycle repeats.

That's only work if their team are only copy pasting from image which we can find on google. How if they are use some photos or images which there isn't on google? How can you detect them? That's why it's big risk to join on altcoin bounty
