See why most bounty hunters get scammed

[Kelvinid]

It is like a feeding frenzy, once there is a bounty that offers huge rewards, you can expect a massive application to receive.

They are desperate for money. You cant blame them much. Besides, they will not listen to any advice, even from veteran or professional ones. All they want to do is to collect as much token or bounties as they can and blindly apply in all campaign they can find

This is not only about desperation for money because many of the bounty hunters are doing it seriously but somehow, sometimes we are not lucky enough to get the best. Though they received the payment but couldn't find it listed in exchanges. I feel such disappointment because I'm also a bounty hunter before.

But for now, the market seems to change a lot and we can see that most of the projects are now turning difficult to gain trust from the investors making them not to succeed and just turn into scams.

Hard-working does not the same as being effective. Work with your mind is better. Using your knowledge and skills to improve your value and reduce working time. They only throw their luck in all project they find. What happens if everything collapse? What you say are correct at some points, not many projects are trusted like they used to. But in fact, only bitcointalk project are not trusted. On the internet, outside of this forum, there are hundred of trustful project which investors willing to spend ton of money to fund. As the results, they do earn a lot of money from them, especially those project working on NFT and DEFI

Jeez, I even saw people already telling that it is an obvious April Fools Day in the thread but still those newbies kept on applying.
They won't even bother reading or clicking the hyperlinks of the community to check how active it is.
I just checked that it all led to a Wikipedia page of April Fools Day.
What's even worse is that there are number of >Newbie rank that even applied to it.

Now those newbies will even whine and complain that they got scammed when they don't even do a single time to read and at least check the projects first.
It just makes me cringe that they don't care about what they're putting themselves into.

Kudos to the OP for bringing the thread up, and CryptopreneurBrainboss for clearing up that those users don't care at all in reading a single letter in bounty thread.
I don't tread a lot in bounty thread and I wasn't aware that an April Fools bounty was made.

I keep saying it. Bounty hunters are a different breed. They whine and complain and say all kinds of stuff about not getting paid,,, but they are generally the ones at fault. They not only do not read, even if they did they ignore or do not care about rules. Spam is the least of the issues they can even ruin the reputation of people who hire them.

These apply to bounty hunters in the altcoin section, there are so many like this, the project is obviously too good to be true just like the April fool's day campaign of Brainboss, they do not check the site or the project, all they care about is the qualification and the task if they are qualify and they can do the task, even if the project looks dubious.

[maxreish]

First, they are in desperate to join thats why reading the whole posts isnt their priority, their mind set is to just submit their application. This actually an example of hunters just joining because of the certain needed of the rewards.

But even those who arent newbies submit their application and then re read again the posts, late realizing that it was just a troll. You can't blame them, as they wanted to just earn even the dumbest project, as long as there is a reward included in the posts, they will still fall for it.

[Jackl87]

That is not very surprising to me at all. I mean a lot of bounty hunters just scroll through the bounties sectioni of this forum and when they read about a huge bounty pool and as a bonus even "stable coin" in the title of the bounty thread than they are interested.
Then they scroll down to the type of bounty that they are interested in, for example the signature bounty and look how the payments for each tier are. In this bounty they are extremely good with 100 $/week for a full member, because that is way more than even heroes/legendaries get on others bounties. So it's no surprise that people apply as fast as possible and maybe only read afterwards through the bounty post to find out it was a joke.  

[bonyaserg]

Personally, I always and constantly work and follow the rules in bounty projects. Since I am personally a bounty hunter. During my work, I always followed the rules established in bounty projects. And there were times when the organizers of the projects simply did not fulfill their obligations, in which they themselves create them. And I've heard that bounty hunters are always to blame. You can just take it and say it, but nobody wants to figure it out. Yes, there are those who are simply not doing their job well. And in order for everyone to fulfill their duties with dignity, it is necessary to create more modern rules for completing tasks.

[gabbie2010]

Jumping into any bounty campaign blindly without a through research amount to being scammed at the end, this is synonymous with newbies, when  I saw the thread I started researching about the coin before coming to my senses that it was  fake (April fool)
before you say jack robinson a lot of newbies had already applied running to 7th page in a bid not to miss out and earn fictitious huge amount of coin then later they will complain of being scammed whereas majorly their fault

Bounty Hunters Don't Read

POC!, Most bounty hunters don't read, I agree, but bounty hunters don't read, I disagree, if you say bounty hunters don't read, you are also saying that you don't read too.
As for me, I always make sure to go through the entire bounty post, read about the project, check the website to see how expensive or cheap It looks, try to find out if the team behind the project is anonymous, if am satisfied, I then apply to join the campaign, if am not, I look for another.
But I understand that some of we bounty hunters are always in a hurry to join a campaign, most especially, if it's a campaign that pays goods and will only accept a few people, most will rush to join without even reading anything about the project, and this is why most bounty hunters end up working for free without payment, cus most times, the signs are there but because most of us don't make out little time to check, we don't find out, we only end up finding out the hard way.

They're bots, so they didn't know how to read. They're fully operated by a system to post an authentication automatically when new thread on bounties section has been created.

I saw some member still wearing the signature until now, I wonder if there is a participant will take it seriously and create a accusation or PMed Brainboss saying he got cheated/scammed

Anyway scam nature in bounty section are based on many factor, even a reputable bounty manager could manage a scam project.

[bison]

Many scam projects come out so I recommend joining bounty projects that are good at running a bounty. I am more in favor of joining bounty legit and trusted members because they have more experience in choosing legit bounty than newbies because the other bounty managers who are newbie mostly scam projects.

Joining a project bounty campaign that directly provides payments every week to campaign participants will provide more assurance than just analyzing based on unclear projects.
payment using coins that are already on the market and payments made every week I think is a good choice and maybe hopefully all projects can make payments like that.

[gurunanakji777]

On the top of the thread, it is clearly mentioned April fool still many of the hunters are posting their authentication post. Mostly newbies bounty hunters are there and keep posting their authentication without checking or reading the thread properly. It is all just because they want to join every bounty in terms of making quick money without researching that's why they scammed easily and even I see some hunters keep posting their work after bounty finished up.

[uneng]

Bounty hunters get scammed because they agree in fully receiving their payments in priceless tokens, instead of consistent ones.
To accept such terms they don't give any value to their own job and effort. Bounty campaigns turned into gambling games where you don't know if you will end with some money in pocket or not.

Bounty Hunters Don't Read

This thread Explains it

However, won't be surprised to see another application below   lol

They refuse to read the thread very well and understand the rules

They are very much in a haste to earn and that is why they earn up being scammed.

They sheepishly follow existing application

They refuse to doubt when it sounds too good to be true

***** Just imagine application kept coming in, in an April Fool's Thread.
Are these applications from bots...

You are right that many participants in bounty companies do not study the information enough and very often it turns out that this company was a fraud. What you showed really looks very strange and has signs of deception. But I do not think that the bounty participants should be blamed, since they are only hired workers and some of them simply have no experience. On the other hand, there is the fraudster himself, namely the one who posted information about a particular company. Probably, in order to identify fraudsters, you need to audit this company and only then allow it to be shown to the community. As for the bounty participants themselves, I can compare them with cryptocurrency investors who also very often just buy shit coins and also then lose money.

And yet, they don't even spare time to read what is written in the OP, and the example that OP has is a big shame for these hunters not to realize that they just caught in a trap (April fools). If only they read carefully and understand those words, this could never be a sad ending. But it was very unfortunate and we can still expect that many hunters will end up the same as what they have experienced in the past until such time they will change their behavior and stop using bots.

Sometimes I have a strong feeling that most of the bounty hunters use some kind of automatization to join, do tasks and post reports.
I simply cant explain why they join a project, where manager is a freshly registered newbie account, sometimes with already red trust and the whole project looks absurd.

Regards the fast applications it's because people fear to miss the opportunity, so they first paste their applications and only read what they have to do later, so they can guarantee their spots in the campaign posting before than others, similar to people who just post *reserved* in signature campaigns applications. I don't know however if there is a bot to automate the process.
And they still join campaigns managed by fresh accounts or negatived ones as a kind of gambling, hoping to be paid in the end. If they are paid good, if not, well, at least they tried. That is the mindset, unfortunatelly.

[Cling18]

Most of the Applicants are Newbies and they didn’t bother to follow the rules on clicking links and follow the page, looks like a bot is working for them.

Though we can also see some higher ranks applying for bounty, I don’t know what’s happening but this is the best April fools entry for this year! 

It's just so frustrating that most participants these days focus on the rewards rather than searching every single detail about the project first. We're always advised to do our own research yet others failed to do it then just complain when they get scammed. It's fine to grab the opportunities but we should also be skeptical at the same time.

Maybe if it was not posted on April who knows even you will fall for it ,   i won't denial the fact that many hunters don't read, they are more into taken action before reading (that's for those who later care to read) while many will participate in a campaign till ending they never read the rules guiding the campaign, it is definitely irritating sometimes when some hunters keeping asking certain questions which they can easily find on the bounty thread if they had spare a minute to read.
