Bounty Star is a Scammer

[Salahmu]

hello everyone, an issue was brought to my notice by a friend concerning a Bounty manager called "
Bounty Star" he brought a bounty called "BITCOIN FUTURE", from my findings it was stated that the bounty was ESCROWED to him by the project owner which was $15K to pay the hunters after project ends. so from my findings the bounty started on February 12, 2023, 04:00:32 AM and lasted for six weeks which 26 March was the last day but the the total number of stakes was calculated and finalized on 25 march.

on that finalized spreadsheet the Article, Tiktok was just only 1 stakes per accepted hunters but to my greatest surprise some strange names whom did not participate on the bounty was inputted by Bounty Star and was given 5 and 4 sakes, so i was i very curious to know how come about those names so i decided to track those names listed bellow:

There are still so many fake names and deferent wallet address on the spreadsheets but when they noticed the complaining of hunters they decided to hide the wallet addresses.

i believe Bounty Star was paid handsomely by the project owners, why then go for hunters reward, from my findings 80% of the bounty Allocation was stolen by Bounty Star and left with hunters nothing.

A friend told me they use his username on the spreadsheets and when he confronted them on the chart, they his message.
here was his message to them: https://imgur.com/57l6upj

here is bounty spreadsheet : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qeMswjPPtRL1B2ggTB8yCvX5YBuK4Z1g7O9WhSvUA7o/edit?usp=drivesdk

Op, I will advise that you move your post to "reputation board" so that others can analyse your proofs, because this is not the right place to post it.
And you can move the thread yourself by clicking on "move topic" button at the left bottom corner of this thread and then select the preferred board which is reputation board.

All of us here can see and accept any allegations of Alt Accounts being involved in extramarital affairs in the Bounty campaign, based on valid evidence of your accusations, not speculation, if you respond the account above is a fraudulent Alt account in the BITCOIN FUTURE campaign managed by: @Bounty Star, you can tell him directly the account you suspect.

Notes:
We here don't see anything strange about the account above, I don't know what we see with the account above. Can you give clear instructions for us, regarding the accounts above, involvement and connection between each other.

OP, I'm pretty sure, this topic you made, must be your Alt account, you are hiding behind the scenes, if you are professional enough, make accusations with your main account, we will respect that, if your main account is playing behind all this.

[Rikafip]

....

Even though some of those name that you claimed never made "proof of authentification" post actually did it (Urmi3, ARNI4), there is definitely something fishy going on as how can accounts that didn't even registered in the bounty get stakes, or accounts that were active last time months before bounty campaign even started. In the best possible scenario bounty manager is completely incompetent and managed to get tricked by bounty scammers while more probably scenario is that he simply inserted those accounts in order to get some free tokens.

Btw, have you confronted him about all this and if yes, what was his answer?

We here don't see anything strange about the account above, I don't know what we see with the account above. Can you give clear instructions for us, regarding the accounts above, involvement and connection between each other

Point of his post is not to make connections between those accounts, but rather to say that bounty manager inserted those accounts and gave them stakes even though they didn't participate in bounty campaign. And he managed to prove that some of those accounts weren't even active for ~5 months yet they managed to get stakes of bounty that started month ago.

Of course this is his alt account but what matters more than him coming on his main account is here is whether what he claims is true.

All of your accusations aside, the manager likely was NOT paid handsomely for posting and managing the bounty. Companies usually pay shit and hire the cheapest manager when it comes to bounties. So, if he was handed 15k to spread out among hunters, it might be enough for him to scam and take a load of it for himself.

I'm not saying they did scam and steal, i'm just letting you know it is possible.

Lol, perhaps he didn't go through the content of the post to understand but jump down to made a comment

Okay fine, let us all agree he wasn't paid well thou that's never an excuse to temper with hunter's reward. Nobody will force you to accept their offer. One can politely decline the job if the pay is too poor. He accepted whatever offer made by the project team and its possible they've paid him so why smuggling names in the spreadsheet for personal gains? Your comment sounds like you see nothing wrong with what the manager did. You're also a manager and you know that singular act is unprofessional. Most of the campaigns prohibits any form of cheating, why the manager himself engaged in cheating? Very detestable from a manager. Such managers can not be trusted.

Are you all there in the head? Seriously, you should read a post and comprehend its meaning before putting some bs spam post. You want to make a comment, that's fine. Just stay on topic and throw shade where it belongs.

I am arguing the fact that people think managers are paid well. They're usually not. Then I'm saying that likely the names in the sheet are prob his alts or bs so that he can collect more money.

Most of these bounty managers are shitheads that are just looking for opportunities to scam people IMO.

[Adbitco]

I have just gone through the bounty thread and I noticed it was $15k worth of the token not directly $15k that is awarded to the campaign, so to me at this price may varies. Down to escrowed funds only 300 pieces of their tokens was escrowed with him meaning, 300 token is worth $15k at the time of sending to him this may be true or false it was based on what I found out from the bounty thread.

Now let me clear you something you don't know very clearly about project owners, they will give you a fake token price in other to release little percentage of their tokens mainwhile at the list period it will worth zero whereby anyone who participated in the campaign may not get at least 1$ after the campaign ends or even if at all the campaign will get listed in an exchange before you possibly trade to get something out of it.

Keep in mind that before any campaign is being launched there are some certain rules and regulations that managers always fix in other for hunters to abide to it. So if in a way you couldn't abide to his rules and you got messed up doesn't mean he should called scammer, then lastly I know what it takes to manage a project it's very difficult to fetch out all fake entries though it is the managers fault not to get a credible hands to work with him to fetch out all those people with fake entries, as a matter of fact hunters are the most difficult people to handle.

NB: I am not siding on bountystar nor even siding for you but I am only giving my statement based on how difficulty it's to handle bounty's. However if you had any issues or complaint you should better pm to query him as to know why such thing happened maybe he would get those accounts phished out from the campaign. Btw is this your alt account because you refused to use your main account to create this accusations lol 😂.

Archiving the spreadsheet in case the said BM edited the content and/or locked it for private access only.

I can't see anywhere on yahoo's post that sounded like he saw nothing wrong with what the BM did. He even made himself and the purpose of his post clear on the last part of it.

Is there anyway those accounts could be pernalized or bounty scammer randomly picked those accounts from unknown user and then fixed their wallet? Or could it be those accounts are related to one user alone?
Maybe those accounts should be tag.

Just in case someone enter my account information on the spreadsheet, are you suggesting others to tag my account?

Let me know what should I do in my defense if such thing happen.

Did I make a point ?

To be fair, a person can enter anyone's info when they fill out the google form. There's no verifying before they can enter a username or a link. I remember a few bounties where some scammer had entered a bunch of high ranking names on the forum at the time. I messaged a couple because I was pretty sure they didn't participate in bounties and found that I was correct.

As a manager you sort of need some help from users in finding cheaters. You also have to check the work and look out for duplicate entries who just gave a different forum name. There are all kinds of cheaters in bounties period.

100% correct. You cannot control if someone used your name and account link. You also cannot be punished for something on a spreadsheet unless it can be linked to you 100% and you were cheating a bounty.

Anything that has to do with scam can come in with any format or in any dimension, but one thing i believe about those bounty hunters is that they don't take time to read the rules behind bounty campaigns before proving smart, there's no any level of smartness that can override the rules laid down on the forum concerning bounties, i believe he wouldn't use other's people's account randomly without having a connection with those accounts.

[Pandu Geddon]

i believe he wouldn't use other's people's account randomly without having a connection with those accounts.

so it is possible that BM is using his account alt to participate in his own campaign. even without registering in the thread and without doing any work, the accounts still get stakes every week. but there is no proof of such a connection yet.
I once traced the transaction address of a bounty cheater. and that led to the case a few years ago. if in the future this BM case might all be revealed, the case might be like the Kakatua Bounty Manager With His 41 Altaccounts!

[Gladitorcomeback]

This is something very interesting to see. Most of bounty star projects has not paid to users and checking of spreadsheet is very slow. i remembered last Escrowed Bounty he managed and taken more than two weeks in checking and finalizing spreadsheet. In mentioned bounty (Bitcoin future) He finalized bounty in 12 hours after bounty end and payment made instantly.

in above case there are two possible scenario. first one is that some scammer may be filled form without Proof of authentication post but in this case question is why bounty manager given stake to these users and did not rejected. second scenario is that mentioned by OP that bounty star entered own accounts to get maximum token because token already listed and price was also good. in this case BM account should be tag for fraudulent.

[holydarkness]

Came to my mind, I don't think OP ever invited the other party or at least let them know about this situation. Since Bounty Star's last online time --as per this post was made-- was few hours before this thread being published, I don't think they're aware about this reputation thread, nor realized the neutral feedback left on their profile.

OP, Salahmu, it will always be wise and a nice gesture, and well advised, if you invite the opposite party of your case --be it a reputation or scam accusation-- so they can get a chance to explain from their side. And from that point, we can conclude what happened.

Bounty Star was invited and notified.

It's been a few days since you contacted bounty star about this thread, and I believe he saw your message and deliberately chose to ignore the thread because when I went to his group chat, I saw a post he made a day after you contacted him (the image of the post is below), or perhaps he reached out to you explaining why he still hasn't replied?




According to the post, he hired someone to work on his campaign spreadsheet, and from the looks of it, the person is not doing a good job, but it won't hurt him to come to this thread to clear the issue because having a neutral tag about how poorly he manages his campaign (which is true) will definitely affect his business.

there's no problem with hiring someone to manage the spreadsheet. but now he will be more careful to choose someone more professional in work. because mistakes were made under his management, of course, BM had to suffer the consequences.

and I hope that some people's suspicions about BM are not true. that the accounts are alt from BM and intentionally included in the campaign. because he has published several campaign bounties, and it might also happen in his other campaigns.

Unfortunately there's still no change or development from my side, the admin of bounty star haven't replied to my chat or even read them, will probably try to reach them again through the group chat later today.



While for their message you screenshotted, I think that's not what they tried to say and you misinterpret it. They were not saying they are letting go and hiring four different people in a row, they're saying that they have to change the spreadsheet four times during the duration of certain bounty because people keep asking for revision, changing their database --I think most likely they're referring to address--, complaining for missing stakes, etc., which they consider as something they can't afford to keep on going and keep "compromise with the rules" because it's participant's responsibility to keep the data being submitted "clean" --worth mentioning that the rules of no address change is applied by many BM--, hence the new set of rules below the paragraph stating that no data may be changed after initial submission, complain will only be handled by the end of the bounty and no more late submission.

from what Cantsay posted, it's obvious that he ^{Bounty Star} doesn't care much about this forum or understand its value. For him, this forum is just a source of bounty hunters to justify in front of his employers that he was still doing something. A neutral or even negative tag won't change anything, because he doesn't care.
Unfortunately, neither the bounty hunters nor their employers seem to pay attention to such warnings. I guess they think that creating cheap but useless noise on social networks is a good thing.
