See why most bounty hunters get scammed

[Kasabus]

On average, bounty hunters are caught in a scam project because they are lazy to check first, mostly focus on the bounty allocation given to them and most of the current scam projects are designed very promising, from websites to complete social media.

Bounty hunters who got scammed are only those who are very eager to make an income without even reading or understanding the rules. You're right they are too lazy to do that so they end up being fooled or scammed again. If you are a good bounty hunter, you should have found out that the bounty is too good to be true and that makes it a scam project.

they dont research properly when joining in bounty campaign.meanwhile its the most important thing to analize project were good or not. sometime we just joined and think later about quality. scammer have expertise to trap investor join in their projects and its prove in many project .

Sometimes I really despair with the desperation on the forum with people being so gullible to believe anything. Seriously everybody works hard for their money & to throw it away by falling for obvious scams is so dumb. It’s perfectly normal to just buy top performing & trustworthy coins, you HODL & get far more ROI than anything in the bank. Seriously, falling for all these unrealistic promises is so dumb.

Obviously the get rich quick schemes are becoming so rampant nowadays, plus the fact that many newcomers in crypto are not rich people but rather the ordinary joes and janes that wants to make a quick buck out of their hard earned savings. Many of us are reckless anyway when it comes to research. I myself is guilty sometimes, but if I don't understand something I tend to stay away from it. If you think the deal is too good to be true then it must be a scam.

what do you think they should check then? I always try to check the project. to do my research I check website. i check team profiles. and details and check the project if it is a good project or not. but still at the end there is risk of getting scammed.

I have read about why many bounty hunters are going so badly. they are all tricked by the existence of payments or sometimes the manager does not send payments. There are many cases that I have observed that bounty participants have suffered losses. the team doesn't want to make payments to the participants. with this there should be an escrow every time the manager launches the bounty

escrow is good if the tokens are already available. but usually tokensale bounties don't escrow the tokens because their tokens are not minted yet. (at least that is the reason they tell us)

There are few bounty campaigns presently that don't look very good but I'm surprised many people are joining such bounty campaign, they don't care about the rules and what the project is all about, this is why many bounty hunters ends with bad results after wasting lots of efforts, bounty hunters should learn to read

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...

The mistake that bounty hunters often make is lazy to read, so bounty hunters are very gullible. and laziness to read has become a habit of bounty hunters because the character of bounty hunters wants to earn income easily and quickly but without them knowing that they have been deceived. because they are lazy to read.

even though reading is one of the keys to success. I also often see many bounty hunters asking questions that have been discussed in the thread. this bad habit must be eliminated.

On the other hand, things that often make hunters trapped in a scam are:
- dev breaks promise, cuts allocations
- the project fails to achieve sales targets

[DigitalFox]

LOL I remember this "campaign"  Being in BB's telegram channel for a while I first saw it there in the morning and went on to read and apply. It took me like 2 or 3 reads before I fully woke up and started laughing.

They don't read because they are bots, many people cheat with this way i think.
It is very important to read the rules before we participating in any kind of campaign so we won't complain later.
There is always risk of project fail when they don't hit the target, that's why we should research the project with our full efforts before join.

[wajik-tempe]

It's becoming harder to choose which bounty project that will success when it has entered the market because right now there are a lot of new projects and only less than 10% of them are real project without scamming and when it enters the market, only 5% from the 10% before will have a success story.
So as a bounty hunters we have to do a long deep research before choosing a right bounty

All of your statement my friend are correct except for the bounty project we are joining that are sometimes scam,which it happens before with me. The campaign has completely done all through the campaign period but literaly years pass waiting for the token they are gone like a bubble, no more active admins to answer you on the telegram, until it goes nothing and just moved on and get better next time.

It is difficult to find honest and worthy bounty campaigns. The best that can happen if a trustworthy bounty manager holds the tokens for distribution in custody. That way the hunters can be sure to receive the tokens according to the rules that were valid when they applied for the campaign.

Yes, but there are not many managers who can be trusted either, so the campaign participants also have to filter and select them first because managers are also human beings who sometimes greediness can also arise at certain times.

[Golftech]

Yes I agree most bounty hunters ends up being scammed due to their greediness,

No question about it, greed makes them pay as they've forgot about dealing with deeper analysis.

They ignore the fact that those campaign or project could be scam or they are too lazy to even check it.

Most of those victims just simply participate in hope to gain quick profits out from alluring offer of scam developers.

They would just join any bounty that they could they and for me it is a big waste of time.

Big waste of time, even you didn'  pay or invest your money but the time and effort that was wasted is also important.

If only they would spend more time checking the campaign or project than just joining it they could have a higher chance of earning than getting scammed.

The first thing that they should do before starting their participation, the chance of joining the right project is in your hands.

[BitcoinPanther]

Explain to me what is being greedy on working to get paid?  Ignorant, unattentive, naive, yes but greediness? It seems your understanding about greediness is distorted.

You'll never know until you are paid or not or the token gets a high value or worthless.  Many bounty hunters had experience to join a single bounty which last a month or two campaign that paid more than a year of payment of your participation in your current signature campaign. So you'll never understand until you experience it yourself.

As for the token value yes you're right, but on getting paid... Either choose the right bounty manager, or go for an established project, as you are in now. I think I participated in initial Phore campaign few years ago, when they were just starting it.

This is why I don't trust bounties that aren't managed by a reputable manager. Escrow isn't possible due to your mentioned reason, especially when ICOs still starting like the value of the token is still about to be given.
Many bounty hunters especially newbie ranks just don't care about the project at all but they continue to whine that they've been scammed while they just go straight up and do an application immediately.
I sense that most of those are even account farmers.

[DigitalFox]

in general this kind of campaign is clearly good even though the price of Phore tokens is still a little cheap inside several exchanges.

Yeah, the price was major reason for me deciding not to join this time. I may regret it later, who knows

If a bounty hunter keeps on joining bounties without even reading or making an analysis on the project just for the reason to make funds, he will have to face lot of scam projects in the future probably.
There is no wrong if we are eager enough to maintain a good income through bounty projects but we should also be more careful in choosing those legit projects so as not to help scammers succeed in their own wrongful way.

[kawetsriyanto]

It didn't only happen to this bounty thread in which it is fake, but also other bounty campaigns.
Let's see, For those who clearly look fake or just for fun, they don't pay attention at all and just apply it, without reading and also without wanting to look again. What about bounties that are actually created by scammers, and have really good thread quality? Surely they will be very super gullible.
