The bounty scam will gradually go away

[totoy4741]

Scammer will be out there forever as long as there are hunters that are willing to do anything for profitable rewards especially in BTC. They will exploit every possible way to get money from other people  even if means of dragging someone into it to lure investors. On the brighter side though, It's good to see some project devs giving out opportunities by giving their workers fair salaries for their works.

I am not confident that this bounty scam will dissappear anytime soon since there are many gullible investors and also there is a surge of platforms on the internet that these scammers can use to invite people to their false projects. What needs to be done is the acceptance of big finance to crypto so at least we might get some sort of protection from them. We just have to be really really patient and vigilant to these kinds of schemes.

In the internet world, it is difficult to stop scammers because there are many ways they trick investors into getting caught with their tricks, so now many bounties that end up being scams often happen until now because no one knew that the project would become a scam and investors became the victim, then we must be smart in choosing any project and sometimes tokens that are already on the exchange like to end up in uncertainty.

So even large funds are very unsafe if someone already holds that much money, they will be tempted, therefore we are truly trusted in this protection.

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.

Every bounty must have its advantages and disadvantages, the most important thing is that we can read the opportunities and maximize our ability to get rewards. Social media bounties (twitter / Facebook / etc), article/video bounties, signatures, are all beneficial if we know the right techniques and strategies, obey the rules properly and do them wholeheartedly, you will definitely have fun.
However, the world of crypto and bounties is full of surprises, many projects that are a scam, not only bounty alts, even bounties that promise BTC or eth rewards or other strong coins can potentially be a scam. So we must know that even though there is a small risk of joining a bounty campaign, there is still a risk of scam.

I used to take part in bounty campaigns, where I was supposed to receive a well-deserved reward for the work done, but did not receive it. Some projects turned out to be cheating. I see how the cryptocurrency market grows and improves and I have good confidence that over time, bad bounty projects will disappear and there will be no need to fear that the developers will deceive you.

The bounty scam will be difficult to lose if there are still bounty hunter participants who participate in it, but as time goes by, bounty hunters are now very clever in choosing bounties that will be successful, I hope there will be a special team to select the bounties that will promote this diforum.

I participated in bounty campaigns in 2017 and started participating now. Then it was possible to get several thousand dollars from each campaign, but now it is very difficult to do this, primarily because of scammers.

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.

Its up really to the manager itself on how he handle or filter out things.When comparing to those twitter or social media campaigns which are posted on services section compared to altcoin marketplace bounty section
then you can really tell the difference.Bounty scam will gradually go away? we cant still say such thing because there are projects will definitely stick out on paying own tokens and there would be still lots of
people or do make use of bots on joining them.The cycle would continue and this had been a problem since from the past.It havent been solved up until now thats why getting rid of it completely
is almost impossible but at least we do make some ways.

Theres no permanent in this world, i agree that aidrops and bounties before are really worth it to join in unlike now that most bounties will only waste your time.

It is highly unlikely for scams like these will go away. Especially now that there are more hunters out there that are willing to take up job because of the pandemic. Overall i just feel bad for hunters that spent their time on these scams.

Hunters are leave no choice but to pick on these projects offering bounty. Well a lot of people lost their jobs right? And it means no more money income. If they are doing bounty then still there is a chance to get up from this mess. I know some bounty are scams but thats the only thing they can do while being suppressed of out of job.

The bonus scams are getting smaller and smaller, they will not disappear as ICO projects are becoming more difficult in the fundraising process.
Scams are becoming more and more sophisticated if not a scam project then the bounty manager will scam and not distribute it to everyone. Recently ClipX tricked hunters' KYC passports. The bounty managers and bounty hunt participants are all scams.

If you say that the bounty manager and participants in the bounty hunt are all scams, then you are also a con artist because you are a bounty participant at this time , in fact you have to sort this into two parts, first the project team that committed fraud and the second the project manager who committed fraud, although in general both are deceiving, this is not the same because only a small proportion of bounty managers cheat, while managers who are truly trusted in this forum will not do such stupid things.

That was the situation in previous years when inexperienced projects distributed money to hunters. In the meantime, I need to confirm that they are all mature and that they have the experience to run an efficient bounty project.

I fully had a doubt that the bounty scam will not be gone, instead it will always be there where bounty hunters and investors participate in any of the project that will arise in this field of business industry here in cryptocurrency. If there's a new project arise it means there is an opportunity for scammers to find a victim.

Scammers can scam you regardless of payment options. It is yet to be understood that without hunters there is no community, without community there is no successful project.

It's really frustrating that after many months of supporting the project it ended up with nothing. Sometimes it takes a couple of weeks before joining in the campaign to make sure that the project are legitimate. We just need to accept the fact that in crypto world we need to be wise and analyze it properly. There's a lot ot scammers and we must do our job to make research about the project. Its good to know that the action like this take place to help eliminate the bounty scam.

Many hunters that will not do research if they are working on scammers and many developers who can create a project that looks like a good project, they have no problem with promoters since they already have a lot fo bounty hunters who will work for them in exchange for free pennies or none at all, in fact, these scammers are scamming bounty hunters and investors.

Gladly it's now starting to be swept away mate, and if scammers tried to have an attempt they'll easily be determined through validations, and feedbacks from social media. That's the very powerful tool for us to unmask those criminals here in anonymous world of crypto. We must have an effort to support our fellow members here, and don't let scammers destroy our built foundation in just one glance.

It's too late, I think, because the main trust of large banks and investors has already been undermined by the abundance of scams that fell on the ICO in 2017-2018. Now this is the only way, few have remained in the subject, and even then they all want to deceive each other. At this level, it is very difficult for a cryptocurrency to develop and be introduced into our daily life.

I think it is difficult to determine whether a project is a scam or not because so far sometimes the project will have many ways to keep their true goals hidden, it's better to be careful when participating in a bounty campaign or participating in a coin offer, you better can collect all the projects that have occurred scams and record all the teams that have been scams so you can have important records and can find out whether the project team is indicated as a scam or not, so maybe that method can help you to find out whether the project is good or not.

There are some lets say SOPs if applied we can get scam free bounties.
1) The bounty manager should be responsible about the authenticity of the project he is about to promote. He should do all the research and due diligence.
2) The reward tokens should be escrowed or sent to bounty manager in advance before campaign ends.
3) Bounty hunters should be more responsible and study each project and claim and immediately report if they find any red flags.
4) Paying in stablecoins or top coins is the ideal thing but most projects will not follow this so all we should look to do is that we make sure that the reward tokens are distributed to everyone.
5) If the team or bounty manager seems lagging or careless during the campaign hunters should stop participating in such a campaign further.

By following these points we can make sure that we are promoting the right project and fake projects will be discouraged.

Nice post.this is the Chain of crypto marketing in which Hunters,owners and community needed each other to become successful .

Hunters are always been blamed but the truth they are the true victim here regardless of those cheaters that using multiple accounts because they are doing the Job required by owners.

and project are successful most of the time,but the winner is the developer and the hunter is either being scammed or paid like a slave.

Now social media bounty which pays with Bitcoin are posted in the service section and only tokens payment bounties have been posting in the bounties section. Bounty hunters will do bounty as it is their income source but recently we have observed that many projects even successful projects cheated with bounty hunters. If such cheating will continue, it is time to unite the bounty managers to bring bounties with escrew where tokens will remain reserve and hunters will be paid after campaign ended from escrew otherwise bounty should be stopped.
