List of bounty projects that end in a scam or void bounty agreement

[DDante]

Almost all the projects void agreement. If you look at recent one of the supposed to be good campaign GEOA Dao, they had promised to pay within one month of the campaign gets end but they still did not pay the whole reward.

That bounty campaign was managed by julerz12 if I'm correct, that guy hardly go back on his words, he is a very trustworthy bounty manager, but I hope you are aware that Geoma Dao bounty has KYC ?

Many projects scammed bounty hunters in 2019 and I can't even recall their names anymore but this year so far only blockburn turn out to be scam on the list of bounty projects I joined so far, I'm expecting more actually, only HEX and Cartesi turned out good for now, it also looks like hybrix paid hunters too

[LogitechMouse]

There are so many threads like this in the past years.

I'm not greatly affected with this scammers and drama shit because I'm done with it already. I stopped joining or investing to them a long time ago. Those people who are affected greatly by these bounty scammaz are the bounty hunters and the investors who spend their time and money and will end up nothing. Feel sad for them though.

Well anyway that is how bounty hunter works here. There are projects that will pay you and there are some who are not. There are some who will pay you but the token doesn't have any value. There are some who will pay you and the token will be listed on the exchange but it is either no liquidity at all or the price has plummeted so much already.

On the other hand, that is the risk of the investors especially they are investing on a new project which is not 100% sure success. Investing in these new projects have high risk but high reward too if you sold the tokens you bought.

You may need to reveal the project is scam, I mean put some proof so as everyone will know and will accept it.

Also, is this the right way to discuss this issue? Since there is a scam accusation thread which I think that is the right place to discuss this issue.

You can also engage everyone here especially newbie user who just come to this forum that didn't know much about this place instead of become bounty hunter.

KYC for whom? I hope you are not sleeping when making a post, because I did not see the KYC debate in the bounty telegram group. Yes, the Geoma Dao bounty campaign is held by julerz12, but you must wash your face first to read the general rules written on the Geoma bounty campaign Dao.

I can see you on this forum for sometime why don't you make a thread base on what you said.

No need, we already have it Safe Campaigns in the Altcoin sections to join. Don't waste your time with others

The thread was created to do some clarification and update information about the project especially those projects listed among the link you provided. Besides, i believed you haven't heard what was said about Block burn which was list by the OP of the link you sent and like i have said earlier some project cant be known as a scam until the whole thing happen

Thanks for the information. I will check if they haven't paid their bounty participants.

It's totally useless if we just keep creating list of scam bounties rather than sharing tips and idea on how to recognize one. It won't be bad if you can help list some bounties with potentials.

No, we can take many lessons from here. The list made by the OP and a number of other additional campaigns written by the members above teach us that there are lots of scams. They commit fraud in various modes. Some delay the listing, some lock the reward, some just give an appointment and then disappear, etc. We can make these modes so that we are better prepared to face risks. Even though it looks easy, being a bounty hunter requires struggle.

Aside from that, we will see how those crap projects were introduced in the crypto community. Though the list will not give us much significance but if you will browse each project that turned out to be scam, you will get the idea how those scammers screwed their investors. They are in various forms, so in the future, you will get the idea how to spot a potential scam or crap project because you already did encounter such style. So giving the list is really not bad at all.

[Genemind]

If ever there would be a list of this kind of project there would surely be a long list. One of the reasons why a lot of investors don't trust new projects because of a lot of projects run with investors' money. If they can't pay a bounty, what more commit themselves to develop the project.

true, giving a list of fraud projects like that is not bad, so they can research the project why and how they do fraud, in fact there are many other projects that do the same thing but if mentioned it will be very long

It has no KYC requirements at all and that was one of the reasons I had joined them. I know julerz12 to be a very trusted and professional bounty manager. I had chat with him too. But this is something different. The project owner can not spend the GAS fee which is really an excuse (guessing). It is not julerz12's fault.

Gas fee! How big is the gas fee to send participants reward that the project owners can't afford! This is really an excuse like you said, if the project is that trustworthy,  I don't think gas fee can be the barrier to send reward, except intentionally they don't want to do it, which ofcourse is no longer news with bounty campaigns and reward payment.

I am noticing that more and more fraudulent projects appear in the bitcointalk forum. Most bounty hunters fall into these people's traps, so what should we do to avoid labor exploitation?
If everyone does not have the ability to check the project, I recommend everyone to join the project of the prestigious bounty manager. These include Artezy, Wapinter and Bounty Detective. They are all very reputable groups and management, never run scam projects.

Probably @cryptoaddictchie is not updating the thread, last update is on May 6, 2020. But, that's just a recommendation for bounty hunters, not always 100% safe. I have tell many newbies/newcomer to avoid bounties, and they always said "No problem, since we know the risk before join a bounty". Then, it's their problem... so listing a potential scam or ended as scam bounty is useless because they're know it before.

Even if you think the blockburn is scam/fake project and should be excluded from safe bounties, why not post it in that's thread, explaining about your opinion and proof or you can send him PM rather than creating useless thread?. As I said before... you need to lists all scam, potential scam, and void agreement project from bounties section, not only 9 project.

Damn, I'm almost thinking of participating in Karatcoin but now see this thread. Thank you for saving my time or else it would be waste. I wish we could have a master list kinda like this thread so newbie can check-up before wasting their time.

[princesspoppy]

It is sad that there are many projects that ended up as a scam. Many people are making efforts and wasting their time just to end up being scammed by such projects. I also participated in scam projects and the  recent project I participated was Emirex. I can't say it is a scam because IEO is still on going and we already received tokens but it's still locked, althouhh it has been months now since we finished campaign. I may say it's a sleeping project for now but hopefully it will not end up as a scam just like those mentioned above.

[totoy4741]

Could you put hitmex, blockburn, digital bits, to the list? i would like to confirm if these projects  were avoiding to paid the hunters and these have already confirmed as scam project too.
If blockburn still operates and don't mind it caused by it refuses to pay the hunters and delete the telegram bounty group. 

Hitmex had a conflict against its Bounty Manager, Hitmex accusing their BM of overcharging of payments because they(Kakutoa) will create their own project even their different bounty campaigns have been in jeopardy because of scam accusations towards the bounty magager team. For Digitabits they firmly believe that the hunters did nothing to promote the project and I don't know anything about blockburn but I joined in their campaign though.

This thread was inspired by a thread opened by @Suryapro in other to make more people and the newbies aware of whats going on with some old and new project status in the market.
Meanwhile, i will also need the help of guys in other to update this thread with some project that arr not included.

Vapourized/Scam project

Confido
Delectrum
Envion
Gizer

No update (possible scam)

Essentia
Karatcoin

Void bounty agreement (Didn't pay bounty participants)

Tagz
Goldenugget
Karatcoin

There are too many scam projects in this market, so you don't need to create lists listing them here. It doesn't help everyone, it is better to create a list with good bounty and make payment for bounty hunter.

[Kong Hey Pakboy]

If you are planning of making a list of scam bounty projects or bounty campaigns, it should be a long list because there are a lot of people here in bitcointalk forum who are ranting about scam projects. Also, you should be posting this list in the Scam Accusations section to be more accurate and it will be easy for them to look fo this kind of list.

Never waste time on such campaigns, they look very shady and they will definitely scam bounty hunters and investors. Participate in the projects listed in this market exchange, you will definitely have a higher chance to receive rewards.
