most of bounties now are using account verifications, ex. email, BtcTalk account code, kyc etc. If you have found that your identity has been compromised, report it to the admins, No system is perfect, so be vigilant and be aware of scams.
Here lies the importance of KYC. Although many have complained about this will be abused but thus KYC could be one way of avoiding fraud in the bounty. cheating in the bounty or airdrop is unavoidable at the moment and is also supposed to have manager bounty attitude and wisely addressing this.
Topic: Cheating in Bounties/Airdrops - page 4. (Read 1430 times)
Hi,
I am a bounty hunter and i have realized that almost all the bounties are being flooded by some morons who use one person's BTC id, other person's fb/twitter, and put their own ERC address.
They may be using some kind of bots to do that.
What i think he/they are doing is that they have made a list of btc address, fb address, twitter address, and telegram and then use them in bounties and airdrops. They have made some kind of automation software that now do it for them and they take up all the spots in the Airdrops, bounties etc.
They just flood them, put their own ERC20 entries in them while using other's address.
With that they don't have to worry because their ERC address can't be traced to their identity as the rest of the info is all fake.
I have found my BTC id used at quiet a few bounties now which i never applied. Same with my twitter and fb address.
I know that a few bounties are now asking for proof of authentication post but not all of them.
With the growing security issues in BTC can't we start Google 2 factor authentication for our profile as it also has been attacked and also what can be the solution to these kind of scammers ?
Yes I met something like that too, when i join into a signature campaign. After a few weeks i realized that there are new account listed bellow that using the same account as mine but with different wallet. After that I sent a PM to the bounty manager and report about that bounty cheater.I am a bounty hunter and i have realized that almost all the bounties are being flooded by some morons who use one person's BTC id, other person's fb/twitter, and put their own ERC address.

Thankfully the bounty manager is fast response and reject those cheater.
now many people cheat in this way, and maybe this is the reason why there are those who are required to verify bounty or to claim tokens.
I have tried to use my email address to register my Yahoo account for my bounty activities, but I am prompted that my registered email address is full, I am surprised! Some people are using my information!
For most bounty participants, you may experience similar experiences, and in most cases, even if you report to the bounty manager, some bounty managers will do nothing, which is too bad.
So I think it is necessary to post a proof of identity link in the bounty thread. In addition, the most important thing is that those bounty managers should be more responsible.

Yes, scamming the boy is a new business model for organized crime. The can get 100’s of thousand of dollars from the project by making 1000’s of accounts!! This is why we should support KYC!! Only way to stop the scammers from stealing everything!!

If people were cheating the campaigns with fake profiles then it is the fault of the campaign managers so they need to do their work if this kind of scammers need to be removed as you mentioned the proof of authentication will do the job but it willl make little bit of work load for the campaign managers that is why they still refusing to add while the most reputed campaign managers doing that.I am a bounty hunter and i have realized that almost all the bounties are being flooded by some morons who use one person's BTC id, other person's fb/twitter, and put their own ERC address.

a lot of those cheat are also in this forum. i've caught some of them but they are using the newbie account although its for sure they do have a high rank account.
if you keep joining facebook and twitter account to join bounty campaigns some cheat will join on bounty portals and sign you up there. you do al lthe work and they get the tokens. yes it should be checked by the campaign manager.
solution to avoid bounty fraud by applying KYC to bounty participants, although many do not agree with this there are other solutions such as making or posting with proof of authentication.
and most importantly the bounty manager must be more careful and filter out the participants who are real and who are fake.

Right now, if you would like to take a look at the bounty spreadsheet there are many users that are doing these. But thanks to the verification when you try to register and make proof of authentication in the btt forum, you can seriously avoid and detect scammers that are using this.
Cheating in bounties and Airdrops is not a good thing but most people in this forum do engage in such acts. these days most bounty managers require users to make an authentication post before you can participate in their bounties and I believe this is a good way to curb the rate of cheaters that participate in bounties and airdrops.
I also noticed this some times. My data such as twitter, bitcointalk profile, etc. have been used by someone for registrations in airdrop&bounty.
Unfortunately we can't protect ourselves 100% from these actions because everyone can see our public profiles, copy&paste. But i think that cheaters are lazy, they don't browse twitter or facebook in order to get data, they simply browse bounty threads on this forum and take from there, this is an infinity sourse of info in complete. So it could be a good solution if bounty managers would reject such things such as autentification proof and bounty reports on this forum. It would be better to do it privately, via email for instance, or via a form on a project's site. Also spreadsheets with results should not be posted here, it must be private too.
In this way we can close the sourse of info for cheaters, in certain measure. In the same time the forum will become much more clean without these reports and proofs.

the same experience, usually I only joined in bounty signatures and social media to fill my free time, then when I saw the social media spreadsheet, my name was listed there with the other wallet address, this made me angry because I only did the task and got nothing, I don't know why that happened, since then every time I joined the bounty I continued to monitor spreadsheets and immediately sent a message to the bounty manager if something went wrong with my stake, for all of you who do a bounty, be careful with Cheating in Bounties I am a bounty hunter and i have realized that almost all the bounties are being flooded by some morons who use one person's BTC id, other person's fb/twitter, and put their own ERC address.

Yes somehow correct, I just noticed that maybe there is some inside job that is happening there? I am not sure, whether managers just put their own bots to have an allocation of the bounty to decrease the amount to be given to real bounty hunters.
It's unbearable that people cheat on bounties since they want more for themselves so they are doing it. The proof of authentication is a way to lessen cheaters on bounties. With this bounty managers could easily distinguish those who are legit from those fakes one.
I'm have that same issue with my other bounties too. So I advice that after registration, always check the spreadsheets just to be sure your registration went through. There you'll see if there are duplication of entry. Once you see someone using your profile , notify the BM and ban those posers. I'm so sick and tired of these scammers!
Bounty impersonators are now common in spreadsheets. I don't know why someone would want to reap another person labour. It is left to the bounty manager to make sure they check all entries carefully for duplication of profiles.
I am very much aware of that, this is the reason I stopped participating on bounty campaign that does not have a proof of participation because if bounty hunters do not have these option cheaters will just steal his work I just hope all bounty hunters will soon implement this option

Cheating in bounty campaigns are most commonly spread in this community. It is unavoidable, that's why bounty managers should act and do their job to distinguish those culprit. Bounty managers should detect those cheaters and implement actions to discipline them.
