PAYT, bounty scam.

[poodle63]

The problem that faced by someone who managed the old payt bounty more than enough to know if the team will not pay its bounty hunters. They are still actively discussing and developing on the telegram group but they were abandoning any questions related to the bounty. People must be careful with any bounty that runs by the untrusted bounty manager. That must give anyone a lesson.
So many months already passed and there's no even a single word come from the team. I doubt with people behind this project that wanna pay the hunters. They only care about money.
People must be moving one from this case. We can use our time for a better thing rather than keep talking about the possibility for them to pay all of their responsibility to the bounty hunters.

Thanks for your opinion. What we can do now? We need to spread the news. There will be 2 benefits.
1. Many people will know that payt is scam project. They will not invest
2. Team will understand the value of a community.

Lets post into their twitter.

That's one of the risks of bounty hunters even if you have a reputable manager managing the campaign, they will find a way to scam bounty hunters, I'm also a victim of scam bounty in the past, these bad actors should be posted in the scam section so investors will be made aware of their character if they scam their marketers they will do the same to their investors.

I've been in this situation before when I finally hit the jackpot by finishing one of the most successful bounties ever and their rewards were decent as well but one thing is not right because after we finished everything, they demanded some information which wasn't been in the list when we promoting their project and they keep demanding and asking everything until no one has ever got their rewards. That's why it's highly recommended to join a bounty that is already escrowed the rewards on the bounty managers.

There are a few bounty projects whose rewards are escrowed which can be a good guarantee that if a hunter will be following all the necessary rules and guidelines then he/she can be paid on time. Unfortunately, of course, those projects - and there are so many of them - who got a team with a different intention and that is to scam people - will never choose to escrow. This has been a sad reality ever since I can remember with joining bounty promotional works. Hope that we can see some improvements in 2022.

As much as I wanted to spread news like how this project give us false hope. Im thinking nothing we can do, but to accept the fate we had about the campaign. I'm sometime visit their telegram but nothing about any message about when they will distribute. I know for a fact that they will not cause if they wanted to pay they have done that a long time ago. Their ceo keeps changing decision as if there is some resistant. I am declaring this project a scam it seems they wanted to make a come back and hope they can be recognise not as good project but as a scammer who wouldn't settle their Dues.

So many projects do not pay their bounty, as there see that there is nothing bounty hunters can do. I don’t normally take part in bounties, as it is a total waste of time and effort. I will advise if you don’t get paid for bounty, just move on, after all, most of the bounties always end as cheap coins that just occupy space in your portfolio.

I had experienced two project some years ago that made me to quit bounty but right now i am seriously doing well with my other businesses. I can't be wasting my time for such project that will not bring profit to me at the end of the program that will make me smile. I believe will time those things must stop for bounty Hunter to be receiving their payment for each bounty they participated in the community.

It's ok not to get paid from bounties but what's not ok is not be able to do something about it, creating scam accusations won't help either there are tons of projects that have been reported but nothing happened, my advice is to work less for bounties with no escrow system, follow brainboss or Mr crank they still use escrow

[masterrex]

I am here to confirm that payaccept team never paid any bounty to any participants. The BM from this forum posted about it and the admin of Payt managed to cover up his lies.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5255787.0

Finally, they allocated new BM for whole bounty operation. They promised to distribute rewards long ago. But No response from the team.
Their telegram bounty group is paused. They dont allow any bounty participants to post into their official channel.
Admin never give any response to any queries. Few days ago, we tried to make contact. One of their representatives said that legit bounty participants were getting paid. It is a lie. They finalized the google sheet and the sheet is no more accessible. Spread the news so everyone can see the devil faces underneath the Payt team.

Admin's TG: @dcnl1980

Thats true they are heartless and can't be trusted people, they have hired two managers to give two impressions and act as to be diversionary tactics to limit those participants, that PayAccept CEO can't be trusted, because they have not followed their own words they are just like a frog that always saying blah blah! so how can we trust them? so for the better avoid that project called PayAccept because it will go down.

1. Isnt their sale round/ICO already finished? I think PayAccept is so old, that no one really invest in it right now. Those who wanted, already did it long time ago. The "GET PAYT" button on https://www.payaccept.net does not work. They either dont seek for new investment, or project is already abandoned.

If you really want people to know that they are scam - then people need to invest in ads and fill the Internet with banners, articles and etc that they are scam. Otherwise it is no use posting in their social media, even creating a scam accusation topic right now wont help, as few people remember about them. If bounty hunters wanted to act, they must have done it in first months after bounty end. Now 1 years has passed already...

2. Team can simply ban and report every single user and post about them being scam in the Internet. I've been doing bounties for ages, and never seen community winning against a project that refuses to distribute. Sadly, we, bitcointalk users-bounty hunters, can make influence only in our society here. Bounty hunters outside the forum does not have a huge value. And since PayAccept is presented here just nominally, they dont really care about their reputation much.

Irfan Pak and Masulum are also very good at handling bounties and choosing bounties that are suitable for everyone, and for me they are also very trusted escrows personally even though they are not considered escrow in the forum because they are managers who run bounties according to the rules that have been applied

Thanks for the appreciation for me, but I'm still learning to choose the campaign that I handle. But, I also can not guarantee what I provide will also be 100% correct. Learning from my campaign last year, there was a campaign that didn't paid because the project stopped before doing the ICO.

My advice, do some research personally, don't just look at who the BM handles. however, BM does not fully guarantee the project will be a success or failure, legit or scam. Thus, you will be more careful in choosing to minimize unpaid or scammed bounties.

Their app is getting ready to be launched. We waited longer than usual to get paid. I know, we, the hunters Don't have massive value. But what if we react as team? I made the thread long ago and I reposted here as their app will come soon and we still have chance to fight against them

[VanityWallets2015]

A lot of this kind of project and was really disappointing if they scam the participants then they are not worthy project to invest with since they deceive people already and with that kind of act I really think the project itself was a scam and people from bounty campaign should do something like leaving a comment about their experiences on their various official groups and channels so investors will see what they are dealing with.

i will not even pay attention to the app that will be launched by this bunch of scammers. They are banning anyone who has been asking about the bounty on its telegram group. Next exchange was also a part of this scam. forget this. You will be only wasting your time dealing with this bunch of scammers. Payt team was scammers. People's money getting robbed by these scammers.

Spreading awareness about this scam project was more than enough. Im think that these bunch of scammers operated some crypto projects at once. anyone should be careful with any project connected with payt and next exchange.

This could happen if you joined bounty campaigns in altcoins as you can hardly find a legit bounties that really pay their participants. i have participated in bounty campaigns before and sadly I was paid in only two bounty campaigns out of 5 bounty campaigns that I have joined where the duration of those campaigns runs for about 1-3 months. Until now, I still have the tokens they send but there is no liquidity until it is now abandoned. This is why we should make a deep research before joining a bounty campaigns.

[K4C]

I think in this time many project are come but there Team and there project admin just announced a new project and the Hunter are work very hard and perform about the project but in this time many Team are not distribution and not distributed there token in the time.
I can't say that every project perform that act but in this time many projects are look like a scam.

This is one of the risk involved in bounty hunting, some projects looks legitimate at the start of the promotion, thus attracting a lot of hunters who ensured that the project is well advertised and enjoy wide media coverage by working hard, unfortunately at the end bounty hunters wouldn't get paid or in some instances got a reduced payment by the Management while giving useless excuses, bounty hunting is more like gambling now you can't never predict their outcome, though I always encourage researching on the project before joining them.

This is why less and less people are participating in bounty campaigns, while the quality of the projects was low during the 2017 bull run at least there was an expectation you will get paid and that the tokens could hold some value.

However right now the quality of the projects is so low that even if you are paid, and as you can see the chances of that are low, then you will obtain no benefit to yourself as the coins never get support from the community at all.

[Teknisi88]

It is hoped that there will be a service forum that can help bounty participants to report reports of fraud victims in the bounty project so that various frauds in the bounty can be anticipated.

[laredo7mm]

I was also muted I think because of talking about their dirty tricks. When I ask them why I didn't receive my rewards their response was that my entires were invalid. But in their spreadsheet that they have finalized last time there was my name and token amounts. But I have never received any rewards. This project and their team can not be trusted and I am afraid we can not do anything about it now because it's been a long time already.

What can we do as a team? Accuse them of not paying bounty rewards in telegram? They will just ban us and all our actions will be useless. We cant post accusations in their topics, as they are closed. We can create another topic in scam accusation, but who will read it actually? They have already raised funds. We can warn users who are going to use their project, but will the majority of them search for scam flags before interacting with them? There is already scam accusation topic. It has only 7 replies and 164 views, and it is on 26 page. People dont pay much attention to it...

I have stopped following their progress long time ago. All their promises are lies. I suggest everyone just to forget about them, as they were just a bad dream.
