The bounty scam will gradually go away

[Anonylz]

I don't see how this will get rid of scam project, we have lots of btc paying signature campaigns and yet there are so much scam project around, so an inclusion of social media in btc paying campaign will not reduce anything, besides not all project will hold a btc paying campaign.

Bounty hunters will continue to hunt for profitable projects for them, but the big problem is that bounty hunters are always victims of fraud, because there are so many scam projects that make bounty hunters disappointed. Now the bounty hunter is a little relieved, because there are social media campaigns that pay participants using Bitcoin. Although the results obtained were not many, but they will feel happy when they receive a payment.

Isn't it suspicious if it is shared in the service section, which should be in the altcoin bounties section because all bounties whether it's signatures or other social media are always there. It needs to be researched again, who knows if it is a new scheme to attract the interest of the bounty hunter, who has recently been seriously injured. but in my opinion, it's better to stay like the previous one, it's just that we choose a bounty with a more trusted bounty manager, for example a bounty detective.

I hope it does.
If it ain't scam, they won't even bother to pay the right amount.
Or, the value of token is just trash.
Better if everything will be paid in the manner of coins which could already be sold.
They could even help with the circulation of the market.

Basically bounty scam can't be away from this space because of managers who can't negotiate with their clients while accepting project team proposal. They accept payment in Bitcoin but would accept participants payment in their shitcoins knowing fully well that they are scammers. Scam projects doesn't take much stress to know but with the payment from project team to some bounty managers they tend to look away from reality. Bounty scam will live with bounty hunters as long Bounty managers don't care about bounty participants.

Just recently we are beginning to have some Twitter campaign giving hunters reward in btc in the service section. This is one sure way to take off this muster that seem like a cancer called bounty scam.

I'm believing that gradually, will may start seeing the inclusion of other social media signatures like Facebook, LinkedIn, medium, article, videos, blogs and many more, coming up in  both bounty section and service. I'm sure that hunters will prefer social media signature than the scam going on in the board.

I guess one reason that we are seeing that Twitter campaign is because of the audit which takes care of non real followers of an account. So if your Twitter account isn't made of real followers, you stand no chance of being selected. The audit is surely to check out accounts with fake followers and that is also good to stop scamming.

You are totally wrong, even if a bounty project promised to pay bounty hunters in Bitcoin, Ethereum or stable coins this is still nothing but empty promises which can fail after the campaign is finally over, scammers can decide to create projects and just pretend to pay hunters with popular coins

I recently read about BRO bounty companies and in general I liked the essence. The same ICO campaigns are conducted on a specific platform, where there is a special Supervisory Board that will select projects so that they are functionally useful and, among other things, have no signs of fraud. Of course, we are unlikely to ever get rid of fraud, but it is necessary to put things in order in this activity.
I think there will be many more new projects and the bounty hunters on this forum will still have a lot of work to do.

To stop these bounty scams literally bounty funds should be escrowed by higly reputable escrow regardless if it is coin or token.

We really can’t get away with these scams if we only rely on promises, sometimes even good bounty managers are being scammed too with existing bounty promise system. If projects are really serious with their business, paying advertisers on time should be their priority too.

[usm2000]

I think platform twiter with audit user could not stop project false , many project that of deception not only for failing to on his way , let alone i saw there is a fraud bring escape kyc and they also use twiter still tipped fraud

[RealMalatesta]

The thing we should check at is not the bounty scam by the bounty hunters but the bounty scam by the people who suppose to give the bounty, these are the same people who promised a lot of money to people in exchange of something and they didn't pay up when those people ended up actually doing what was promised.

Long story short if there is a bounty reward that was promised but wasn't delivered, I highly doubt that it could ever be something alright, we have to fix that eventually and if we can do that, it would actually improve the bounty world as well. If you are a person who gives out btc or usdt and actually do end up paying, you can vet the applicants as hard as you want, you can get all the audits as you want because at that point you are ahead of many many bounty rewards.

Unfortunately, this is difficult to stop. Scammers were always and everywhere, they know how to masterfully adapt to any changes, because this is their bread, this is also their job - scam. Therefore, they will invent more and more new ways to deceive hunters. And of course, the hunters themselves often agree to be deceived in the pursuit of any kind of earnings.

[iamaruf]

Sad but the truth is bounty scam is a common thing. But those bounties which pay in BTC and managed by reputed managers are legit. Also if managers are not legit or if managers don't escrow the fund then can be a scam too.

[cute nmp]

Bounty scams will not just go away easily as long as many bounty hunters are willing to advertise any projects without caring to make any research about it.Hunters usually help scam projects to achieve their aims so it is very important as a bounty hunter to make research before promoting any scam project.

[BitcoinPanther]

Scammers will never go away from their green pasture.  They may be quiet for sometimes but when all is feeling secure  and get easy, they will strike scamming people out of their money. 

Scams will never go away since scammers will always exploit things that is exploitable and cheat people of their money.

[thesmallgod]

It is not recently maybe you are just noticing this. It has been like that in fact my first earning from btt is through twitter promotion in the service section that paid USD 3 that time. If you compare the numbers of bounty campaign that are listed daily and services that pays in btc you will understand reason why it is not likely bounty scam disappeared. Most paid services that listed come from already existing platform with proven products and services compare to the bounty dev project

[Kehindem]

i hope so, project are taking advantage of hunters, though hunter does not has any obligation to participate in a project, but that doesn't mean they should treated badly, and why most hunter get to participate in bounty scam is greediness sometimes, because of the huge worth of the project token to be distributed, in which the value is not always the same at distribution. To say that bounty scam is going easily it somehow oo, because ever since i start working as a bounty hunter most project pay in their token which is 80%. so doubt to some extent.  

[TopT3ns]

I doubt using some tools for eliminating the fake accounts will be the turning point for bounty scams. Unless the verified projects will announce the new bounty campaigns, the bounty scam will continue, unfortunately.

unfortunately there is no such system here, they are scammers can still create a new account here and after that create an account as a cooper member which means that they can create threads and add photos so that they can trick many people again, here with money everything is easy for you to get.

Not all projects can pay bounty hunters with trade able coins like Ethereum and Bitcoin those that pay are exception to bounty campaigns but all the other bounty campaign can only come out with IOU coin because in the first place many will still participate in their campaign if they are going to pay with their native token so why bother paying them with trade able coins, besides they also do not know what will be the value of their coin.

I am also among those who hope that the Bounty scams will disappear slowly, but this possibility is unlikely to happen. I am sure
scammers always find ways to attract bounty hunters, and there will be repeated scams in bounty campaigns. The most effective
way to avoid bounty scams is with in-depth research on each bounty campaign that we will be participating in.

Yes, it's really difficult to make the scammers vanish, they always have tons of ways trying to scam us with different method to make look them really legit. But, as the time goes and so much schemes have been revealed until this time, we can slowly avoid these scam projects and be a better member.
