I've been hearing this for a while until it really happened to me ,I was promoting a bounty project and after a week I decide to check my spreadsheet to see if I've been approved or not ,well guess what I found? Someone else signed up for the bounty using my btt account info excluding only my wallet address ,swapped with another ETH address.

This is another tricks some scammers are pulling on this forum, getting someone to work for them while they sit back and get paid for work they never do.

Always make sure you check the spreadsheet of the bounty project you are promoting from time to time,who knows? You might be the next victim.

This warning is especially for newbies ,I bet they don't know that something like this can be put in motion so be careful.

I don't know why some people are happy to fool people and stealing money from those who worked the money. I know that we have a lot of problems in terms of finance but for scammers, you should have also hands and feets. Work as others do because we are all have stomach to be fed. And if you are the one who stole a money. Probably, you will be depressed.

I don't want to condemn scammers but my point of view. Stop stealing money from people.

Just report to your bounty manager that somebody has entered bounty programme under your username. It usually takes 5 mins to detect and reject this cheater. Check spreadsheets and you will be fine.

That was happened dude 2 years ago and even up to now scammers still doing it, those scammer exploiting the the spreadsheet were they will copy your url profile on BTT then they will reshuffle also one of the letter in your account name and they will change the Eth address, that's why I agreed that from time to time check the google records then if ever you find someone doing it, at once report it to the immediate BM who check the records.

this was an old trick, i think the cheaters has working with bounty manager team, why i say that, because mostly bounty program regist form using google form right, so only the BM or they friend who is know the gmail who can edit the sheet.

It has happened since 2017. There are many lazy people and trying to steal work from everyone else. If the bounty manager is not careful, they will send money to scammers. For more than 2 years there have been many scammer who have taken my information and registered with their ETH address

This has been happening for a long time. In many of the bounty campaigns which I've participated in, I come across this kind of problem. And I'm reporting it to the bounty manager. In fact, I think these scammers have to check by the bounty managers already. And many successful managers detect these scammers and remove them from spreadsheets without our warning. But some managers do not pay much attention to this problem.

If we talk about scamming trick, there will be so many of trick that the scammers can use to trick us. But as long as we can be careful in any work we did, we don't have to worry with them, and we can report them so they will be caught up. But still, we are a bit difficult to detect who they are because they are moves from one project to another project and that is hard to find them. They can be anyone, and they can trick us but once again, be careful is the only thing that we can do to prevent them.

Yeah right, I've experienced this kind of thing myself. Little story last year 2018 in may, I work bounty for Facebook and Twitter, without checking my spreadsheet I start working. And sure enough when the project paid the bounty hunter, I wasn't paid, and started to see spreadsheets with my Btt nickname filled with other people's wallets, then there were my two Btt nicknames listed, and the correct wallet was mine rejected because of the Btt nickname same / double regist.

Can you confirmed if the bounty you joined has a 'Proof of Authentication' post on the rules? this is the most popular problems facing bounties with no proof of authentication,cheaters can easily just steal others btt profile link and change the eth address to theirs,bounty managers are to be blame when they dont put POA on the bounty rules.

Bounty hunters should make sure that the bounty projects has Proof of authentication too before promoting projects

We should really be alert for situations like this. especially for multi-participant campaigns like Twitter, Telegram, Facebook. It has so many fraudulent components. Check the spreadsheet every day to ensure our rewards.

They have been doing this for a long time, I first discovered this when I was just a newbie, the scammer will submit his application two to three days after you submit yours, so there will be other member submissions so he will not notice because of the gap your submission and the scammer submission, to avoid detection he will not notice that there is double entry, this is so rampant then, that bounty managers have to implement post verification, so they can track if there are double entries.

If a particular bounty campaign that you joined does not have a post verification, you better check your entries, to see if someone is using your entries.

I have encountered a lot of such cases. but after discovering it, I told the bonus manager and he solved it for me.
I think projects should have PoA to avoid such scammers and we also need to check the spreadsheet regularly.

Yes, this is the findings which you have talked here from the spreadsheet. I think I have been already cheated in this way but, couldn't recognize how they are doing. So, you talked here clearly and from now I will check my every bounty participation spreadsheet.

This is very bad of these scammers. What's wrong with registering for their own campaigns and doing things the right way? It can be frustrating that, having worked for so many week, a hacker will just take all the wins because he's more technologically advance. That's not good enough. Thanks so much for the heads up.

I had the same situation early this year. Some individual registered in signature campaigns with my account, but with different ethereum wallet. I have reported that to my bounty manager. I have seen this from 2017, so this is a not a new trick.

This happens a lot of times
And it’s one of reasons why bounty manager requests for POA to crosscheck and verify valid entries

As hunters likewise, we need to stop these cheats from using our personal information

The manager campaign should not allow all users to edit the spreadsheet because it will be very vulnerable to scam,
I have seen it several times, and fortunately I realized when it happened so I immediately told the manager campaign about that

If I let everyone edit the spreadsheet I will not join that bounty. Because it will never be paid because the sheet cannot be completed

You never be victom of this trick, if you check spreadsheet every week with your wallet address. Newbies is the first victim of this types of trick.

I think this post is just warn for newbies, this is an old tricks to cheat the bounty rewards, we should remember always check the spreadsheet weekly, report to bounty manager if found any scammer steal your information, keep checking the rewards spreadsheet until receive full rewards.

This is actually an old trick, there were many cases like this back then when bounty campaigns were popular.
Bounty manager should know who is the real one, and delete the scammer who signed with fake details.
We can help bounty manager by point out the scammers who signed up with our details.
