Yes I agree. If I have choice to ignore them even the campaign have huge amount of reward in their pocket. I will not hesitate to not to join them. I just give my personal data if I know that its already registered in our country. Its hard to trust in a project especially if their own project team are not even present in their website and whitepaper.
all bounty and airdrop hunters must have thoughts like you. but sometimes many people are looking for fake data to do KYC. but if what is requested is a passport I think it will be difficult to manipulate. It's a shame that some bounty hunters have been tricked and filled their KYC for a scam project.

The rules/advice you have stated here is enough already, people have to be careful with the kind of bounties they are participating in. And newbies should always try to do their research and know they are getting themselves into, some of them are usually in a hurry to make money through bounty campaigns and they forget to calm down and learn everything that’s really happening in the forum.
There are always lots of scammers and they never stop, they keep on coming up with new ideas everyday to scam people, it’s the work for them and they are always doing it, so it’s left for us to be careful and avoid them.

This is one of the reasons many people stops hunting, denying hunters their due rewards even after stealing their information is something very bad, working for a month, also undergoing KYC process and all to no avail shows how cruel this crypto space is becoming. I just hope escrow will be introduced for all new bounties soon, that's the only thing I think can stop all this.

I knew something wasn't right when I learnt of their request for KYC documents, it was obvious that they had an ulterior motive when the document required for KYC was passport specifically. Its quite unfortunate especially for those who were willing to give out their kyc documents for such a dubious project.

Thank you very much for your precious information .I did not participate in those bounty campaigns who wants kyc verification to receive rewards because kyc verification can be too risky for anyone as our submitted document can be used in bad way and we can be trapped. I was also participated in ClipX bounty, as there were no kyc first But after campaign ends they asked for kyc to have our rewards .It feels suspious to me and i did not submit my document.

It's true. Almost every campaign stipulates that the team can change the rules at any time, and very often this applies to KYC verification. And then the bounty hunters find themselves in a desperate situation - either submit documents and pick up the rewards, or following several months of work be left with nothing.

looks bad if a project requires participants to send their personal data (KYC) to get a project token reward, especially if it turns out that the project ended with scams or didn't pay after submitting KYC, this is disappointing. I think bounty hunters should be wise in choosing a project and not just look at it from the point of view of big rewards.

I don't think bounty detective team has ever managed any hugely successful project, most end up a scam or fail. Most of the time I don't blame the development team but the bounty hunter, some people just join campaign because of the promise of huge returns, there are only few good bounty manager left in the space the remain are just chasing shadows

Really sad development. Clipx seemed to be good project, I actually liked their website and all the fine details about the project there. It is unfortunate that we still have to face such scam projects and definitely greed and bad intentions from people behind these projects result in such things. The bottom line is that we have to face such projects no matter how good you are at due diligence, so just move on and try to find a better project.

Well if a KYC is necessary for a bounty than it's always a little bit worrying for me, but if you want to be a part of such a bounty there is nothing you can do about it. But i would never join a bounty of a shitcoin that i never heard of before if a KYC would be mandatory there. The bounty im in right now also demands KYC but at least it's a old and well known project. Still a little worrying but well it is like it is.

Honestly what annoys me most is requesting for kyc from hunters even when they already know they won't pay, I think before a team will organize a project and conduct a bounty they already evaluate the pros and cons of the project, incase no success what will happen to hunters or no need for kyc incase project fails to achieve the goal, such a terrible thing to do.

yes, That is one of the reasons I would never sacrifice my personal info for a meager reward. Everyone are worried that your personal information would be hacked from a centralized database and then you get projects like this that will legally collect the data and then just use it for the wrong reasons. and again, bountydetective is getting another scamed project besides Kingcasino and Terracredit. now ClipX

it was obvious that clipx was a scam with no intention to develop their project. they claimed they have sold ALMOST 60% of their token but all is Fake just to draw attention and people failed for it. i did the airdrop and they requested for kyc for airdropers. that was where i knew something was wrong. they are not sincere. although i did the bounty i did not participate in the KYC.

we don't have to lay blame anyone or bounty manager as he may communicate well with them at the starting but later run the team might compromise causing the BM not trustworthy of his words concerning the project. some project may lately request for KYC after some much reasons. so if the project runaway doesn't from the bounty manager because he was given assurance based on recent communication with project team etc.

There is a risk when you give your ID to the third party, no matter it is an exchange, bounty manager or any other crypto service. That´s why many people do not participate in KYC required bounty campaigns, but there is no other option on how to reduce the number of multi account bounty abusers.

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/13That 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 is becoming a recurring issue. This used to happen too much for my liking during the 2018 run and it seems to be popping up now again. Be vary careful if a bounty asks for KYC and don't provide it unless you are very sure about the legitimacy of the project.

I agree with the given negative trust. They were blinded by money and forgot to research and manage only high-quality campaigns. The paradox is that you can´t join their campaigns when you have negative trust. It would be nice to watch closely how they behave in the next few weeks - if they do not exit scam.

Whatever the current perception, what is clear is that they have experienced a scam and regarding KYC for bounty participants, the team never informed the bounty manager about this from the start, so the participants felt a little depressed when suddenly the KYC problem was implemented which eventually experienced a scam
