Email address exposure in spreadsheet

[fullhdpixel]

Never use your real email but never use your real twitter or telegram neither if you can. I have done that before and I have been hurt by it, and ever since that I have created a new twitter account and email just for crypto and have been using them even though I have the same telegram I would like to change that in the future as well.

I would have to say crypto is not a place that is fully secure just yet, they can take your money let alone your email and face nothing, so to say that your email will be in danger of getting exposed, you would be very right. Plus never use the same passwords and username neither, because since it is so dangerous to give up your information, your username and password could be stolen as well and tested everywhere online too.

Bounty managers please kindly start hiding emails in your spreadsheet because I always like using new email for bounty participation and I surprised that there are many offer mails in my email account, some are free airdrop some are affiliate marketing offers, I still remember that some people are selling email addresses online, it will be easier for such people to go through bounty spreadsheet and pack the whole email address

There is nothing anyone can do about this email revealing becasue the Bounty Managers doesn't all the time include the emails on the spreadsheet, though we the Bounty Hunters should be more smarter not to use our real identities on campaigns. Agree with the Bounty rules clearly shown that whenever the Bounty Manager hands-over these documents to the projects owners they can sell out these emails or identities to start-up projects thereby exposing our ills or specials details in public.

Maybe that is intentional as they wanted to sell your Emails to 3rd party group so Exposing in Spreadsheet will make it clean from their hands if tons of emails sent to our account because they can easily denied and reasoning is you are exposed in the Sheet.

instead of joining bounties with that kind of manager better find others that will protect your privacy and won't take advantage of situation.

This important thing why do you have personal email and secondary email for joining bounty and airdrop. You can hidden with your personal email connected with Facebook account, twitter and Instagram or still connected with exchange account, but you should have secondary email account for joining bounty campaign, when your email show on spreadsheet every day get notification email about airdrop and get fake link to confirm because I ever almost day get the same notification from scammer.

If you don't want your email address to be exposed in the spreadsheet then I think you have to create a new email specifically to join like this, after that you can change your Bitcointalk email account and remain anonymous.

This is the easiest solution, I remember having tons of email since I sometimes forgot what email I used in a campaign I joined in before,whenever I join bounty I also create new email to avoid scams and protect identity. We should always find way to protect ourselves from scam or any threat of viruses and we can't blame others so we need to do it by ourselves.

This makes sense a lot. Bounty managers should always try as much as possible to hide email addresses on spreadsheet, scammers use them to send scam airdrops, phising sites, spywares etc. Fake Binance website was sent to an email I used for bounties and have not registered Binance account with for me to login, saying I won BNB and need to claim it via the link. Let's be careful with the links we click on emails, thanks OP for making this point.

The bounty managers is always alert. The scammers are cunning. They use different methods to gather information. The emails they send are a complex trap. Attempts at temptation to continue the trend. Restrain yourself and work without stepping on their trap.

This happen when bounty manager not hidden email bounty campaign participants because every time we received scam aidrop link, phising site and many fake claimed coin form sending by scammer. I think have any bounty campaign manage by detective campaign manager and need to fill email but they always hidden our email on spreadsheet, only us know with email using and I think is better if our email hidden on spreadsheet because many bounty campaign participants always use personal email for joining bounty campaign and some time use personal email to join airdrop project.

If bounty managers display email address it doesn't mean they aren't reliable, they simply lack experience and it shows that they are new to bounty managing, though this doesn't mean they can be trusted either, even if they decide to hide email address in spreadsheet they still have access to the full details so they can do anything with the addresses later, it's better not to ask for email address when no one will be needing it

[Helpme_please]

Bounty managers needs to effect the hiding of hunters personal information from the spreadsheet. In fact most bounty hunters usually get unsolicited emails and despite the fact that the projects barely pay handsomely, the hunters needs to carry the burden of the carelessness of bounty managers.

almost all bounty manager already hide the participant's email in spreadsheet, they know its private information if shown publicly. many scammer could send us malicious mail to take our personal information .if ther are bounty manager shown our email, we have to warn him immediately and hide it.

How neglecting act from a Bounty manager to let Email expose in spreadsheet?though maybe the Manager Knows that majority of Bounty hunters are using their  dummy emails so there is nothing to lose.
But still that is privacy that needs respect and having this in front of everyone is really annoying .
Better give the name here so we can Address Him directly for his Unprofessional action being a manager.

Even 2 years ago i used to collect this emails on this method. Because it's easy to collect active emails. And I promoted airdrop, but most of the time bounty hunters don't even click the link. Nevertheless, new bounty manager should care about this to reduce spam massages.

I don't use my main e-mail when joining bounties to avoid receiving spam or unsolicited messages. It is risky to use e-mails that you use on your accounts, wallets, etc. when filling-out forms, just to be safe have a spare e-mail for other activities such as bounties to avoid the risk of having your accounts compromised.

Yes, most bounty hunters do the same. There are so many people who are using other peoples email address. About the exposure of email addresses in the spreadsheet, this is all depends on the bounty managers if they will hide it or not. To avoid that, using a dummy email is a must. This will help us to keep our personal email as safe as possible.

Every day new bounties are coming, and some launched by experienced bounty managers and some launched by my own project manager; those are good bounty managers they are locking and also some of them hiding user data, but this is no possible for all of them to hide emails, this is depends upon you that you are joining those bounties was launched by good bounty manager or launched bye own project manager. So you should secure your email by SMS verification and mark the extra email as spam.

One can easily steal participant's gmail data which is not hidden in spreadsheets and is usually managed by a new manager. If the manager is experienced, has been managing a prize campaign for a long time, it will not display participant gmail data. they will immediately hide the participant's gmail data after the form is complete.

The Bounty Managers can only help in hiding Bounty hunters emails on the spreadsheets but will eventually hand-over these emails alongside some personal information to project owners, maybe these project owners can do without they choose with these mails without the consent of the hunters. As rightly recommended, a perfect solution for this is the dummy mail be use for purpose of campaigns.

Sometimes other than that, hackers break the email because it is displayed in a spreadsheet. I think the bounty manager should hide emails from spreadsheets for complete member safety

[Maestro75]

I do not see why not hiding email addresses of bounty hunters in the spreadsheet should be a problem. It is one thing to get random mails and it is another thing to want to open them. I get that all the time. The heading is what I look at to know whether to delete them or not. Those not worth my attention I delete at once without reading. The only thing to avoid is not to use an official or important email address for bounty to avoid junk mails. Create a new mail for bounties.

[magnum cyber]

It is clear, to avoid things that are not desired, bounty managers must hide the email of each participant. I personally also use new emails every time I join a campaign to avoid negative things. Usually people sneak into Gmail addresses for some kind of breakthrough notification about airdrops.
