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

[BayAngelo]

An excellent observation and carefully put out by the OP. i must say you have been carefully observing these BM and their project. we have lost credible bounty managers too du to scam projects but that does not buttress the fact that many shit bounties are very easy to spot if carefully observed and also the points you lay down. an example of a current bounty going on now and been managed by a shit team can be seen here.

a careful look at the bounty show a practical explanation of what the OP here is talking about.

I would suggest that if you want to avoid joining several scam bounty try to have a research first of the project/bounty that you are joining so that you have the confident to either join or not to join those bounty campaign. Just read the reviews and do your research so that it will not waste your time and effort and you will gain the rightful rewards.

research will be the key for us to find good project, dont ever be lazy to open project document that available in site . it will help us to identify is it good project or scam project. it only take few time if we serious and focus analize this document, and also we took advantages from doing this , our knowledge will improved well

research also does not necessarily make you safe from bounty scams, do you have a good way of research ?, i
n the current situation the project is very difficult to distinguish, the safest way besides research is to follow a project from Binance, I'm sure you will be safe,
but project in binance always doesnt have a bounty program

This is also important to be considered by all of us. Sometimes research is not enough to ensure our safety from these scams. That is why we should seek all available resources around us to gain deeper knowledge and make a good decision.

I am also agree with you mate that sometimes research isn't enough. Like onecoin biggest scam. For joining bounty program research website creation, ssl certificates, team member LinkedIn Profile real or fake or when it was created etc.

This is not applicable to content creation alone and just as the OP has explained, it cuts across all forms of campaigns. Identifying and setting yourself apart from such the is very crucial

[soulripper]

Sometime some legit look projects can fool us but it very crucial to us to make research first before joined any project in here cause everything is possible can be happen. We cannot predict the future and sometime we will can be wrong.

[codpku]

Ya i hope theres no people promote the scam bounty anymore because that they not read the whitepaper first, with read the whitepaper we will know the team behind the project, who run this project familiar person on cryptocurrency or not or capable with the job or not and we can know the roadmap
What the future of the project that we spend our money or worth time that we can use to promote another legit bounty than scam project

[maiden]

Even everything above is followed correctly, still there's no guarantee that project will be good. However, if someone does enough research it's possible to avoid scam project. I am really bored on bounty and given up participating too.

agree, if you had your research before participating in any campaign, there's a big chance to avoid scams projects, Scammers will often try to take advantage when you’re feeling vulnerable and try to extract more money from you through a follow up scam.Be alert to the fact that scams exist. When dealing with uninvited contacts from people or businesses, whether it's over the phone, by mail, email, in person or on a social networking site, always consider the possibility that the approach may be a scam. Remember, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

Always do a good research. Dont waste your time with some silly projects. That can only used your skills for scamming. Free promotions is not good especially if you are a good blogger cause they fan get visibility on the market simply by adding a token reward without real value. Always make a certain investigation if you are joining a legit or just a dump money tokens.

Yes, there are projects that seem legitimate, but after you go deeper in the search, you will definitely find one of the graps that will show you that this project is a scam, and I would advise whoever wants to join recently for any project to check out the "Scam Accusations" section in this forum may find the name of the project that he wants to work with in this section.

but not many new projects that are indicated from the start is a scam. Many of the bounty hunters were also deceived by project scams even after the campaign was over or nearly distributed. some have even done distribution and we just found out that the project we support is a scam.
as a first step to prevent I think your advice is good. but there are still many that have escaped our attention.

[Skinny48]

Scam accusation thread is the perfect place to begin your research on any new project because it's possible that some people or members on this forum are already doing research on such project presently, you can safe yourself some headache this way.

[ije07]

Some of the points are very precise and the criteria you mention are actually red flags for you. So for all of us including project promoters, please be more careful before joining any project, especially if you see anything suspicious about the project you are participating in, then avoid it because it is a red flag for you.

[ubay]

Good conclusion, I myself really choose what bounty to join. Starting from the team, bounty manager, the uniqueness of the coin and many more.

I'm already fed up with the bounty scam that is circulating, why are there still people who come without a second thought.

[Helpme_please]

As long as there are people who have the desire to get free money, any bounty project will always exist and is difficult to avoid, even more so to destroy, I think it is something difficult. Because if we want to stop this bad image, then at least the awareness to not always look for free money will be very necessary but come back again, this is something that can never happen because in fact, there are still many investors who just want to get quick profits so research furthermore it would be very difficult for them to apply.

its not free to get bounty reward dude, we must do all task in bounty campaign and ofcourse all of this will need sacrifice. internet connection , time to work and many other and if we calculate it for several months its would worthed with salary in regular job. dev team allocate token for marketing and by joining in this campaign we work as their marketing spread about project. if some one or investors blamed hunter maybe they want to get huge profit instantly without any long process.

[int03h]

I think the bounty hunters have enough experience to test a bounty campaign. The easiest way is to look at the potential of the project and the information contained in the project's official website.
Serious bounty projects will often create a well-detailed and well-rounded theme.
Choose a bonus plan and do it with an element of luck.

The projects and the businesses will always find ways to get people market their project for them. And these people will always want to join because they find it fulfilling to earn cryptocurrencies and they want the satisfaction earning it gives to them, even at the cost of their time, energy and talent be put to other deserving things in the real world. This digital satisfaction will continue as long as they want to earn cryptocurrencies. And the companies and projects will keep supplying them with the cryptos they need, in exchange of manual marketing labor on the internet.

[Gorosden]

The more you promote bounties the more you will get better experience with new projects, once you keep failing you will come to conclusion about what you are doing wrong and you will be forced to change your strategy and this will open door for you.

[Inkdull]

This is how I find out about any new bounty project

1. The first thing I look at is the project use case.
2. The second is the partnership surrounding the project
3. The third is rumours of the aiming exchange, the better the exchange is the higher the chance of the project having good value

[GatotKaca]

bounty fraud will not just stop there are so many ways they do to trick bounty hunters, I think depending on each if we choose the bounty before joining and see the whole then it will avoid bounty fraud
