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.
Scams like this have been done for a long time by scammers. And there are already many victims. If it happens like this and you do not know, it may all depend on the manager who manages. Because if the manager checks carefully, your first job will appear to be duplicate. So scammers can't do anything.

This scenario is not new anymore because it happened already for some bouny hunters.

There are some people who just want to earn and lazy to do the work thus they take advantage the innocence of others especially the newbies.

So better be careful and always check the spreadsheet if someone steal your info.

Yes, this has long been a known method of fraud, and most of the managers of ICO bounty campaigns know about them. What surprises me in this case is that this time they used the profile of the younger member. Usually for such fraudulent purposes, accounts with high ranks are used, starting with a full member. Perhaps it was the calculation that such a duplicate should go unnoticed and did not chase after big profits here.

I guess you are new to bounty campaign, that is the reason why you are just discovering this. A lot of hungry hunters do this a lot. Sometimes they target Some bounty campaign managers that do not usually do a thorough check on entry before allocating rewards. I most chases when you discover something like this, make sure you report to the bounty campaign manager. A lot of bounty managers have already decipher how to deal with this situation. Now, bounty hunters are required to register on the thread as well as on the entry form. This can help solve this issue

I had the same with the signature campaign of localcoin. Someone also registered there with my username but with their own wallet address. Gladly the bounty managers disqualified that user.
we have to check spreadsheet periodically to avoid our bitcointalk username usage by cheater.too many cheater now in bounty campaign.they want to earn reward without any work.if we find our username duplicated we have to immediately report it to bounty manager.

I think that's good. Yes , there is such a problem. But most often it works for the benefit of bounty hunters. People who go spreadsheet before you take part in the bounty - understand that a lot of participants and profits will be small. In fact, it turns out that there are no participants.

Can I know what's the project you are referring to and who is the bounty manager? For your info, we have seen a lot of projects where bounty manager is the cullprit and uses other people's information to receive rewards.

Cases like this are very troubling and need to be taken seriously by the Bounty Manager, so that they don't happen often later on. I have never experienced this, but I feel annoyed to see it. I don't think if the results of my hard work for weeks, but other people get the results. Of course it will be disappointing if it is not known beforehand. Thank you for the experience you shared here, at least I got a new experience.

That is actually an old trick.

I have found my account and also my username in different bounty programs.
Mostly you will see it with their telegram bounty.

But now bounties have a different kind of rule. You must post the message number in the bounty thread for your application just so to say it is you.
I think managers now are also preventing it so that they could be seen as good managers and can get more projects.

Good bounty manager always catch the bad guys, I think most of the time managers(At least the ones I've worked with) prepare final spreadsheet and ask us to verify before submitting spreadsheet for payments, This eliminates the scam.

This will definitely be useful for them, but the fact remains that bounty is not that profitable. The concern I have is that, despite the much effort out into the bounty and the little reward that will be received, a scammer will now come up to take the little that ought to be received. That is unbearable.

This has happened to me so many times. But often these people are excluded from the list of participants. As it can be seen if we analyze the table.

this issue always come to any bounty campaign
and thats why all campaign manager should check their participants carefully,, for example if campaign manager want to check the signature campaign participants list before approving new participants
i think the best way to knew if a scammer using other people bitcointalk account to signup in the signature campaign campaign is only by copy and paste the number of bitcointalk account ID in the search box when we open the spreadsheet of signature campaign
for example my bitcointalk profile link is
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/coinswebid-966242
and the campaign manager must copy this number 966242 then click CTRL+F then paste this number on the search box, if the next number after 966242 show 1 from 2, thats mean the bitcointalk with 966242 as the UI ID used by more than 1 people in the signature campaign,
you can see the image below for the detail



and i hope all bounty manager will doing that, so scammer will have no chance to cheating

If the manager is good he will catch the cheaters, they are fully aware of that, and they are looking at it and double checking every entry, but it's much better than you also do your homework and check the spreadsheet if there is a cheater using your entry.
