Enough of bounty scam, you can help to stop it too.

[tippytoes]

Bounty scams seem to be never ending especially in the period of last 2 years very few bounties have paid any decent reward, i agree with most of the points that you have posted but it all comes to team intentions in the end i have seen even some successful projects that refuse to pay or cut the bounty rewards for hunters after the end of campaign which is not only unethical but also illegal.

There are actually seemingly decent projects that turned up screwing its bounty hunters, like delaying the distribution or not paying their rewards as initially agreed, or making a lot of excuses not to send the rewards or suddenly stopping the bounty program and leaving its hunters hanging. So if you are a bounty hunter, you should do your own due diligence and be ready for the worst to come. Don't rely on others as most of them don't care about what will happen to a certain project.

Nowadays the fake project are more in number than the genuine project and sometimes a project may appear genuine and participants promote the project at the end it will turn out to be a scam,
Like the case with digitalbits, It seems the team are now having a hard time paying participants for the work they done long ago, it has been one excuse or the other, 
If is really hard to tell what will happen moving forward in a bounty because the team can change at anytime.

Strict measures can be put in place to check Scam projects, scam bounty programs, scam airdrops by both bounty managers and platform managers (forum, advertisement sites). This will pay much attention to the team behind the project. If platforms are to secure the data of team members and run some checks before allowing the projects to be posted, the occurrence of scam projects will reduced.
Also, follow this thread for more well-researched into bounty programs https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5228629.0. Although they are not 100% guaranteed, the OP do good research and select the few ones.

even when we've done research. so far, I assume that many scam projects even camouflage like real projects. Well, I think that they are also developing their ways so that when people do research, they can convince investors. however, a scam or can't be seen in the end. very difficult to avoid projects like that.

I have read or tried to help build so many lists, Even if the above are correctly followed, there is still no guarantee that the project will be good. But when the bonuses of certain managers, you can rest assured that there is a better possibility that it succeeds.

[anhhung409]

It's hard to understand which bonus company is a scam and which company, even if you follow all the points and choose a good project managed by a good campaign manager, there's still no guarantee. They say that the project will excel when listed in an exchange. But the other signs are also true because many scam projects did that and they eventually left the project, so that got people involved. gia sad and confused.

Bounty hunters can do their quota by first performing adequate research on the project and once found to be a scam, use the scam accusation section to report. However, this cannot guarantee a 100% assurance until bounty managers also play their part in researching into projects before accepting to manage the bounty.

The only way to stop bounty scamming is to “Stop joining/participating “ in their project
 because i am sure these are organized group that is backed by
Some personalities here.and also these people are behind almost all of the scams here in
bitcointalk.i remember when i am still joining bounties there are
some managers that has back to back bounties but if you check the project?almost the same
with one another meaning the manager is a companies pet that
only there to run campaigns and get paid but nothing cares about the hunters even to get
scammed .

We can help to stop scam bounty projects just by ignoring it and not joining to their bounty campaign. And i believe that a fraud and scam bounties has a lazy manager that is not updating the spreadsheets, and also the bounty telegram is so quiet and not updated.

Many bounty managers still update spreadsheets quickly, and regularly answer people at telegram. But eventually that project became a scam, obviously the bounty manager cannot know the outcome of that project because they are just like us. They are also the people hired to manage the campaign

yeah, or project is not a scam, it is just a failure, for bounty hunters is almost the same, but one should be aware that many projects are not successful in the end, and that is not related only to crypto, in all business niches there are successful and unsuccessful projects
DYOR before joining the campaign

they are like us but better than us because managers are being paid already to manage the campaign but at the end we are the only loosers on here if ever the campaign became scam   .  we cant say enough because there will still be people that will constantly join bounties no matter how many times we warn them but for sure these people already know alot of tips on what to do to avoid scams  .  stoping on your own can still contribute so that scams are going to be lessen because you arent the one that will stop anyway but some too

That depends on the team. Sometimes it can be considered as a trusted campaign but at the end of campaign the developer has a lot of problem with hunters due to the change that already made by the developer to the rules and this is the main problem.

Scammers are unstoppable, get used to the present condition and learn from your mistakes, ICO and IEO projects are so dubious that you can't read them perfectly, invest the only amount you can risk and promote bounties for luck sake

It’s best not to really have expectations, and especially not to consider the bounty as a full-fledged method of earning, it is too unstable.
Then, it is likely that you will be surprised and delighted by the periodic possibility of earning.
The most important thing is not to waste time scam projects, it is not so difficult, it is important to be careful and look deep into the end.

Yes dont waste your time joining in scam bounties or if you cant find a legit project then find another ways to earn in crypto. Its hard to rely on bounties nowadays because of scam, and its rare to spot a good one. Thus if you're not certain if the project is legit dont participate.

[homhay]

That's right, because right now almost an average of new projects lead to scams, so it would be very wasted if the work of the bounty hunters for several weeks without pay and it is very painful.

[Latines]

Now there are groups of administrators in which I am sure if they are the ones who lead the bounty. So I join them, they select projects well, until there has been a single mistake. All projects gave earned coins.

[TheGreatPython]

Scamming has been around for thousands of years. Someone actually found a tablet of "complaint" from a merchant in some ancient history, dude bought some items (guess it was wheat) and he got something unexpected instead and he was complaining about how the quality of the product and the type of the product he received was not the agreement they had and money he sent was to be returned. Now we are talking about 4000 years ago or so, think about how early that is.

There must have been some before that as well but we do not have proof of it. So, humanity has been scamming each other for longer than 4k as far as we know, what makes people think it will stop now? You can only stop yourself from getting scammed. Find proof that you can't be scammed even if someone wants you to, and only pay up at that moment.

[timmmers]

But at first you need to realize that even the bounty is not well-managed it doesn´t mean that the project what you are promoting is a scam. But they just hired a bad bounty manager, secondly even the bounty campaign is well-managed you can promote a scam and someone could loose a real money, so be careful and do not forget about the others. 

[jahepahit]

this is something we always remember and understand as prize hunters. I agree with what you wrote, because I once had a bitter introduction when joining the bounty program in one of the bounty management.
