ClipX steals KYC data and shuts down

[wywoc]

Well I do not see a compelling reason for asking bounty hunters to be KYC, they are not the investors in the project so it is completely pointless to KYC (whose purpose is mainly to prevent money laundering). . And there are hundreds of ways to get a fake profile for KYC. So always consider before participating in such projects.

I participated in ClipX bounty program and for eligibility of the bounty rewards I have completed my KYC. I couldn't understand they are steeling my information. I am afraid of this incident. I have lost my rwards as well as disclosed my personal information.  It is one of my lessons.

Obviously this is a very good lesson for you, because in the past there has also been this kind of thing and not even just once, I have seen in the past many projects that made KYC requirements for campaign participants which in the end they experienced a scam, and to make matters worse, the project team did not provide KYC information at the start of the campaign.

Nowadays bounty hunters are been taken for granted,after they completed all the required task for the project bounty for about 4weeks or so, it turned out to be a scam, and the worst part was stealing the identity of so many bounty hunters," why would they ask for a kyc when they were not gonna continue with the project", I really feel for those bounty hunters, I think its high time bounty hunters stop participating in bounties that require kyc to receive the project token, and they should only participate when the bounty is been organized by a reputable BM.

The lesson here is that when entering these MMOs, especially this crypto market, personal information is one of the very important data that you must keep secret. We don't know what purpose they'll use it for. So for those bounty that require KYC I will ignore it.

I have participated in the maximum projects managed by bounty detective. They are so cooperative, quick updater, friendly telegram support group. I have received maximum payment from the projects managed by them whether it is small or few dollars. Clipx project cheated with us as they didn't mentioned kyc from the first and after the completing bounty, they asked kyc from the hunters and finally they shut down the project. Bounty detective support in the telegram advised us kyc is your own risky and they cut relation with the project for such new rules. Now it is very sad that they got in trapped unfortunately.

[hakertajniak]

They are worst. They should not asking for KYC data to bounty hunters because they want to shut the project later.
Im afraid that they will use the data for something bad, hopefully it won't happening.
My suggestion is, don't join the campaign that have some unclear rules. KYC rule should be announced at the beginning of the campaign.

[CoinThinker]

Wow!
This bounty detective needs to be stopped, They could do nasty things with those IDs , poor people didn't get anything and left their KYC here?
I would not join any campaign without a trustworthy bounty manager with at least a hero member rank , And some weak bounty managers need to be stopped.

It's unfortunate that I also participated in this bounty.

I agree, do not provide your documents without verify, there is a lot of scammers that just collect our personal documents and data and sell it for money.

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.

LOl! Haven't you seen some bm with red trust and still apply the rules of not accepting hunters with red trust in their campaign, I don't think having a red trust will make any difference to them, they will simply carry on the same way they use to operate even before the tag. Although I don't think they are entirely to blame since it is not very easy to fully know a project.

[fuer44]

see the rule, if there is kyc, I suggest canceling the join first and looking for a bounty that doesn't use kyc. Then, I have a suggestion if you want to find a bounty with a trusted manager, namely Bubbalex and Bounty Detective. it can be taken into consideration and comparison.

[lienfaye]

I dont really trust a project who require the participants to comply in kyc (specially this one with passport document only rule) unless it is proven to be legit and has a working product and trusted transparent team with reputable manager managing their bounties.

This should be a lesson to hunters who often look for the potential rewards they can get and not looking for the whole project itself. Dont trust easily by complying to their kyc because it might get compromise if you happen to participate in a scam project.

Yes, personal documents are things that must always be maintained properly, so if a project team asks for personal documents for the shitcoin reward they will give, the participants also have to think twice about this, especially if the project is a scam and a token have no value at all.

[ryap12]

I knew it all along that this ClipX is just another scam project. Good thing I did not put myself into greed in joining multiple bounties.

Also, I notice with Bounty Detectives that they just accept any projects that applies to them and they don't care at all to the bounty hunters who suffers the most.

Those stolen KYC information will probably be sold to third parties for many uses.

The good part is that ClipX did return the investors funds as stated. (But not sure if they have fully refunded every investor.)

This should serve a lesson to all bounty hunters, newbies and oldies, that one must do intensive research before joining a bounty campaign.

If we actually talk about the Clip X Project, then from the very beginning of the Bounty Company nothing foreshadowed trouble and no information was in this project a fraud. In addition, at first the Bounty Company was mentioned about the absence of KYC. Everything happened very quickly, when, after the end of the bounty, the companies quickly demanded to provide KYC and immediately after the end of this period they announced the closure of the project. Many people say that the purpose of these scammers was to steal the user's passport data, but was it really necessary to choose such a too complicated path in order to steal personal data?

there could be two issues to address, first, he wanted to save data, each participant did not know what to do, but behind that he actually wanted to see how many decided they would indeed give KYC, because usually when it comes to KYC, many have resigned, but maybe this is nothing backwards so that the goal to dredge from resigning is not achieved and it is better to cancel the project that is the safest.

[DabsPoorVersion]

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.

Highly agree, especially to number 1.

Bounty hunters should always participate only to bounty with the escrowed rewards, most of the time, bounty campaigns always try to run before they even launched without giving the rewards of the bounty hunters. They always take advantage of their work and continue doing it over and over again.

It's fishy in the first time, I was sending same Picutre on the KYC Telegram Bot and get accepted. Lucky me didn't send whole document to them, Even i receive email and i think you guys too about Delete document, I'm not sure if that document it's entirely deleted. Well, I hope they didn't use that for bad purpose, Be careful!

they cant milk the hunters so the hardwork of promoting and the kyc is the only thing that they can scam but not for the investors because they got scammed double  . that is money and kyc .

obtaining a kyc is hard , they cant think of other ways apart from this and its worth it because kyc is verry valueable . changing rule can be an indication for hunters that there is something thats not right and by that they should not give what the team is asking for  .

Previously, I had planned to join the ClipX project, but I didn't because I was suspicious of their project, after asking a few questions about the project but ended up getting banned by the project team. this made me go and avoid the ClipX project.
