ClipX steals KYC data and shuts down

[traderethereum]

When we want to join in one campaign, we need to ask about KYC, and if they require us to fills KYC, we don't need to join with them because we don't know if they can protect our document or not.
It is about the private document that we will send to them, and once we send it to them, we don't know what will happen later.
Checking everything will be necessary before we join with them, so we know if they can be trust or not, and we can avoid the scam.
But still, we might get another scamming project in the future, and we need to be careful.

This is an ongoing threat that bounty hunters are exposed to, and there is nothing you can do about it except for doing your own research initially and hope for the best. This is the cost of getting crypto for free.  

Yes, but the problem is that it was not announced from the start of the campaign even though the hunters researched it very thoroughly, the KYC was implemented when the project was over, so hunters were forced to complete it in order to get their reward.

there was already the information from the start that the campaign did not require KYC from the bounty manager. but from the development team if asked then it's beyond the control of the bounty manager.
It is very unfortunate that finally, a project ran again with KYC data from campaign participants. Looking at the spreadsheet, it turns out that many participants also joined the campaign, surely many were disappointed by one month's wasted work.

The clipX bounty was run by Bounty Detective - they guarantee thedistribution of awards, there is an inscription at the beginning of each program. I wonder what kind of compromise they will find between the hunters and Bounty Detective in this case.

As far as I know when bounty detective said if that was guaranteed that means if the reward has already distributed to the manager and I know that from the arcs bounty too as the reward has already escrowed to the manager but the problem is when the project didn't wanna to continue the development progress and how the token will be valuable? it will be a worthless token too.

I'm glad I have not joined in this scam project. So many members have sent their passport.

The ClipX project, another bounty, managed by the Bounty Detectives' team early today let down bounty hunters gently in what seems a soft exit by announcing that it would no longer continue with the project. The announcement was made here: https://t.me/clipXchannel/13

That was after it had cunningly collected KYC documents from hunters (even though that wasn't explicitly on the bounty thread). ClipX insisted it was going to be a passport document for KYC or nothing. It was really a suspicious move but anxious hunters neglected it. Why ask for only a passport for KYC and not any other document.

My advise to bounty hunters:
1. Don't participate in any bounty without escrowed rewards.
2. Don't be in a rush to participate in every bounty that comes up.
3. Follow only trusted Bounty Managers.
4. DYOR on any project and don't rely on BMs. Most of them don't even research a project before going into contract with project team.

Anyone else got any advice for bounty hunters, especially the noobs among them?

This will definitely damage the reputation of the Bounty Detective bounty management service, I was just reading in their telegram group and there were a lot of complains, some people complained of not updating spreadsheets for a long time while some campaigns are taking a longtime for distribution or sending in small batches which is annoying the hunters.
Looks like they are losing the way or have lost interest somewhat in campaigns now. They have to protect the interest of the bounty hunters to stay in the market.

This is very unfortunate results for a bounty promotion, ClipX is collected our KYC data and suddenly shutting down the project, In the first place, if they are planning to discontinue the project they should not require any KYC for its participants, I believe its a planned execution of events Bounty Detective should be partly blamed for this incident.

I am also a participant in the campaign for only one week. but I don't think that's part of the bounty manager's fault. wrong when they promote a scam project. However, from the situation that appeared, a big mistake was deliberately made by the team by bringing away KYC documents from campaign participants.
I have not had time to fill out KYC, because I am still confused and not sure if someone filled out KYC with personal documents, some filled in with passports. I am grateful that I didn't have the chance to fill in KYC when the project was finally stopped.

When I'm still participating in altcoin bounty campaign, I remember one project where I gave my personal information (at least an ID and a selfie of it) in order to get the rewards and it was Quarkchain bounty campaign. Luckily there is nothing wrong happened (at least for now) .

We don't know what can they do with this personal details that ClipX did but one thing is for sure, bounty hunters who fell to this trap will never do KYC again for a small bucks. I hope that other bounty hunters will not do the same that they will give personal information to some random shits for a few cents.

As for the Campaign Manager, even though he don't know this to happen or he know it his reputation as a campaign manager will affected by what happened.

Cilpx has issued a notice regarding the cancellation of their distribution and the continuation of their project. This is a valuable lesson for managers in this case Bounty Detective.

The basic question is, why do Bounty participants send their KYC data? because they have to follow the terms and conditions that have been set to get a reward for their work and this is inseparable from the Bounty Detective statement regarding payment guarantees for each campaign they manage. My opinion, confirmation and explanation from the owner are also important to know related to this campaign in the Channel Information&Announcement.

yes, I hope this will provide a valuable experience for all of us bounty hunters in providing our documents. a project that could just as easily go and carry the documents we provide. of course we will not know what the document will be used for in the future. be careful.

for the bounty manager of course this will affect his reputation. Moreover, some of the projects he has worked on look scam.

[Plinteng]

to be honest I am also disappointed with the bountydetective manager for bringing scamed projects into this forum, such as Clipx, terracredit, kingcasino some of these projects ended with scams. but all of this comes back to each of us because we choose, so, I no longer depend on the famous gift manager.

[Gozie51]

Bounty hunters should be careful also and only select top quality projects to promote.

I think it is better to join a project that the reward is a guarantee to receive like escrow. If a bounty reward is escrowed, the manager has right enough but where the reward is with the team, then they can keep introducing new stuff not included in the contract. I believe the bounty managers are learning.

The bounty section need to be cleaned up, scam is increasing.

[monig1981]

Deeply we can not differentiate between Good and Bad projects. In start KYC was not needed but at the end of the projects they asked for kyc. Even the project is looking Good we should not go through kyc. Mainly Hunters do work most on sharing etc and  do not Research on own.

There's only a problem with the bounty detective as the team was calculating the reward based on the ico price which can be considered as a very bad thing for sure.
So far, some of their bounties are legit and they have already distributed it to the participants too. '

Those projects have become scam projects at the middle of the campaign. that's the risk as a manager when you are working under new companies who have already tried to start its journey.

[Snigdho07]

Fully agree with you and thanks to concern us. Nowadays many bounty programs scam after collecting personal documents. I have betrayed by a couple of bounties. After those harassment I am completely conscious before joining any bounty. Hope you all do that same.

In every new project of bountydetective promise that distribution is confirmed by bountydetective. There is another problem after the Kingcasino campaign. For a huge hunters bountydetective campaign distributed only a few dollars. Right, bounty detectives should escrow for a new campaign and limit for hunters. I think bounty detective manager is trusted enough.

[timmmers]

This is the first bounty campaign managed by BountyDetective that becomes suspicious.

To the escrowed funds, do not fall into an idea, that bounty managers are good in escrow. When they receive 2-3000USD for managing bounty campaigns and now they escrow funds worth more than 100 000USD, what would you do? 

[Arkann]

I received a message from ClipX to my email address, stating that my documents that I provided to KYC were removed and, in addition, they accordingly wrote thanks for participating in their company. I understand that this message is not trusted, as there is no guarantee that they deleted my personal information.

[cassavachips]

I also heard complaints from my friends about the ClipX bounty being handled by the bounty detective, they asked for KYC when the campaign was over and it was very sneaky. I advised him not to do KYC because it really didn't make sense. Bounty detective was also seen defending bounty hunters but they couldn't do it any further. Everything is left to the project team.

[cepot9]

I already thought this would be a bad thing, they asked the bounty hunters to do KYC when the bounty was done. I protested and asked their group why they did that, but no one responded and I was immediately blocked
