ClipX steals KYC data and shuts down

[bobyhodob]

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.

when you decide not to proceed to the project then it is a very smart move because you can avoid such a scam and suspicious project, make this an important lesson for you so that in the future you can determine a potential and very good project that can provide you profit.

This is very sad, after ClipX managed to collect KYC data for Bounty Hunters and suddenly closed the project. supposed, if they are planning to stop the project, they shouldn't need any KYC for the participants, I believe it was the execution planned from the start. Bounty Detective's reputation begins to tarnish.

Overall the bounty from the Bounty Detectives team was very disappointing, I was part of the campaign and they delayed distribution for no apparent reason. It seems that they also do not have specific criteria in selecting projects that are managed and rely solely on "guaranteed payment". For KYC, give only for legitimate projects or keep your identity, don't give it to anyone.

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.

Bounty detectives are not connected with KYC and IDs. ClipX are the one to blame. They asked to pass it, while in BD bounty topic they wrote that hunters don't need to pass KYC.

It was said like thousand times, bounty managers rank is not a guarantee of success. Its account can be hacked, bought or BM itself can be seduced with money.

Hunters could join any project, managed by bounty manager of any rank, with out without escrow. But before joining they must do a research of a project they are going to promote.

I don't think it's all bad. yes, I did participate in the manager's failed campaign too. but some still pay and are even listed on exchanges. because of the failure of some projects you think the whole project will be bad. when we decided to join the project then we had to accept all the consequences. I realized I also made mistakes, I was also disappointed. but I was more aware that it was a risk I had to accept.

As a bounty hunters, we should be wise especially in times where our credentials are in the stake. I really hate KYC even if the bounty managers or project
owners are doing it just to get rid of spammers and cheaters.

There are many ways to get rid of them but asking for KYC is too much especially if the project is still 50/50 whether it can reach to an exchange or not.
We should learn from this and make sure that we should be wiser in the upcoming bounties that we like to participate with as there will be more project that are the same to ClipX project. 

[NoG-NoG]

Its too disappointing especially when I join this bounty for a month and without telling us that KYC process is needed for this bounty from the very start we, bounty hunters feel safe but the moment when the bounty is near to end it suddenly as for KYC process when many of us have done because we thought that they well pay us. Only to find out they are a scam, bogus and fake project. I am totally angry but I hope they are true to what they have said that all our informations from the national ID we use are deleted from their database.

[AlexAtom]

I feel sorry for fellow bounty hunters who sent their KYC documents in to them.
This is why we should not join bounty which requires identification of the hunters.
The rules about KYC requirements must be clear, so the hunters who accept the risk can proceed to join the bounty.

I'm also losing confidence from some bounty managers, although we don't rely on bounty managers. Bounty detective manager is losing trust in this kind of situation like kingcasino and Clipx. Clipx is now almost failing projects. Actually bounty detective manager should follow the escrow process.

This is a very unfortunate result 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.

Lucky for you mate But honestly I was afraid that my data was used for something bad, but thanks to the Bounty Detective Team immediate action once and for all they prove that they are competent by pushing hard the ClipX team to delete all of the KYC data that they were collected from us and finally I received an email from ClipX and saying that my KYC data was deleted for me it was a relief.  

[aioc]

I'm not sure if that document it's entirely deleted.

Bad news is they are not going to delete those documents they are now their possession, they can do anything on these documents even selling this in the black market 

Well, I hope they didn't use that for bad purpose, Be careful!

You can never tell you have no control on this people on what they will do because these documents are worth a lot could reach thousands of dollars in the black market.

[Alamin9884]

Yes, i agree with you. ClipX bounty ended all their activities. And then they told us to  do KYC. When the KYC was over, they Said their bounty  wouldn’t  continue. They cheated on us.

Hmm, I'm feeling a little bit skeptical regarding this matter. You know, it was so easy make a public apology and tell that they already deleted it. But in reality, you can't get rid of the possibility that they made an extra copy of it and just waiting for the issue to be forgotten before using it on their advantage. Don't get me wrong, I'm not spreading hate, scaring you or whatsoever; I'm just not fully convinced that they really erased all the vital info they gathered from you and all of the participants. I hope I'm all wrong, I hope I'm just overthinking .

Next time don't ever join a bounty which requires sensitive info like that for you to be safe when things get f*cked up. Or much better if you will finally stop chasing sh*tcoins.

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?

ClipX was escrowed by bounty detective team, I remember turning away from the project because it looks like a scam project to me, bounty detective isn't very good with legit project and I don't blame the BM, it's hunters duty to do research and make the right choices, the only reliable bounties from bounty detective this year so far is ARCS and HEX, you need to be careful with projects from bounty detective

Bounty detective is a trusted bounty manager but still have a lot to learn, there is assurance of getting paid if you join any projects from bounty detective, the only problem is they don't choose projects carefully.

[JeotQ]

There was a time where I gave up on my rewards from bounty projects because they asked for KYC which wasn't part of the rules right from the start, im sure that all data will be sold online to others, bounty detective isn't a good bounty manager, most of their projects failed this year, you need to do deep research before promoting any bounty project or you will easily end up wasting your time and energy

All the advise you gave are really helpful I just hope they will heed to them, well here's my advice to them, never disclose or share your personal information with any project in order to receive rewards after you have participated in their bounty campaign, don't give out your private data in the name of kyc.

3. Follow only trusted Bounty Managers.

If it's about following a trusted bounty manager, just so you know the bounty was handled by bounty detectives,and we all know their reputation precedes them,it's not their first bounty campaign here either, cus they have managed so many bounties on this forum, they slipped out this time, thats why I no longer trust them "fully", they should at least paid those bounty hunters who did all their best to make sure the project was successful .

That's the danger you always have to accept when you give your KYC. I also do mine at a very limited set of sites, mostly because I really need them and have no choice, BUT I know no matter what they say about security I know one day if they decide to they can steal it, and I can't do nothing about it.

Not to mention all the sites we do use and who probably steal our data without us knowing. Things really need to change we need a GDPR replica for Asia!

When he joined ClipX bounty campaign under Bounty Detective management, it was mentioned in rules that passing KYC is not necessary. So he joined bounty without any allusion it would turn to be scam.

But what he did wrong, was to pass KYC when bounty ended. Team asking to pass KYC to get bounty reward is the first sign of scam. He might still continue "chasing sh*tcoins", as according to Does bounty still kind of worth on 2020?, bounties still can be profitable. But one must really dig in to find a gem.

[MCobian]

This is the importance of doing research first before deciding to take part in bounty projects, because you cannot always rely
on the Bounty Manager. And it is also not recommended to take part in bounty projects that apply KYC, because it is very possible
for data theft to occur as has been done by the ClipX project. Moreover, airdrops that require KYC procedures are clearly avoided
in my opinion. Because very small rewards are obtained from Airdrops, it is not worth it to be exchanged with our personal data.

It's already a sign of scam but he won't accept it and he still believe that the project was still legit so he continue doing a kyc but unfortunately the suspicion of scam is really true . Now he lost his data along with his rewards ,it's a double loss now.  People are so obsessed on shitcoins because they think that they can be rich with it , well we all wanted to get rich but we can do it in a safer way or a surer way  . The other user received an email ? And he is confident that what the email are saying was true ? What if they are lying and they still have the users data .
