Topic: Cheating in bounty programs - page 5. (Read 2280 times)
I have also faced scams in bounty programs. Last of the scam bounty was saying that "We dont want to cope with stakes and reports. Whoever joins Twitter campaign wins 50 $ and whoever joins Facebook wins 100$" I thought it may be scam but I said that I dont lose anything. Today I checked it and saqw that the bounty page was gone. There are much more scam bounties these days.
I find it really disgusting whenever a case of cheating is brought up, i see it as a lack of basic moral upbringing. Why direct so much efforts to cheating when you can direct same to submitting your work right. If i am a Bounty manager all cheaters will be banned straightway.
Do you think that some bounty programs cheat because they do not want to pay bounty hunters by bringing out things to do at they end of bounty campaign? Share your thought or experience.
No, they are just bounty manager they can't control what the clients want to do in their campaign changing of allocation sometimes is decision of the owner of the project and they are basing sometimes on how much they raise funds on their campaign, and if you didn't paid on your campaign because the owner is run away don't blame the bounty manager because they are just the front and not the owner of the project.

I do not think that most of them want to deceive anyone. They simply reduce the possible risks of problems with government bodies. For them, investors are more important than bounty hunters who do not invest a single penny of money. If a hunter does not have documents due to age, he can always ask older friends or parents to pass verification instead of him. But i'm total agree that KYC should be announced since the start of the campaign.

Yes, a lot of bounty programs are worthless that makes many participants wasting their time and effort to make a project success, managers don't even think how painful we felt upon knowing that we are not receiving as what they promised from the start of the campaign. Watch the KYC at the end bounties. They get you all nice and juiced up for your reward. You did all the hard work then they ask for the real prize. Your passport. You may end up doing the work, not getting paid and then have your passport or national ID sold on the dark web.
It is really the worst part and even now i start getting spam mails to some of the air drops i joined and there are instances where someone is using my mail ID to sign into airdrops and the reason i know is that i am getting mail that i am expected in some drops which i have not even enrolled, i am not sure how to stop these abuses, either i have to contact those teams which is a headache as i am getting more joining mails on a daily basis now and with the KYC too these abuses will happen when you submit to scam projects. 
In my opinion i didn't see any examples yet but i remember storiqa bounty program looks suspicious, they said 3% of funds to bounty initially but they allocated very less according to tokensale results. And more suspicious thing as no one see the spreadsheet as it never open after allocation.

There are campaigns like that in which at the end of their campiagn, they are requiring you to do another tasks before they give tokens. That is called delaying tactics because they simply not ready to distribute the tokens. Some also changed the rules at the end by requiring us to do KYC, etc.
bounty participants to experience is that if they will not get their payout
many people that do bounty are scammer on a spreadsheet you will see many names and check the telegram forum you will find out is view people on telegram forum some name will appear several time

I often see cheating on the gift of social media such as twitter and facebook. Many participants were crossed out by a Manager from the list of spreadsheets since they proved to many users of the account. This is thanks to the thoroughness of a Manager in checking for participants to join.
As soon as bounty programs start changing rules after they have finish raising their funds through ICO, then they start changing rules like KYC and other unnecessary verification.
I don't think KYC can stop them (cheaters), because i think maybe they can get KYC documents easily from family or dark web. but in my opinion this KYC verification can minimize and reduce the cheating of bounty project
There may be some mistakes in spreadsheet - but it is obvious, thing like that could happen.
If Team does not want to pay you for bounty work, they are scammmers. It doesn't matter to me if they scam distributing tokens either for ICO participants or bounty hunters. Cheating is cheating and it is the thing I really hate.

Actually, the hardest thing for a bounty participants to experience is that if they will not get their payouts, there are bounty campaigns today who are not paying their participants if they did not give their kyc authentication but it was very obvious that they only want to scam their own participants.
I always check the spreadsheets of my bounty campaigns for duplicate records, as there're so many cheaters nowadays that use your account to get free money. And in the worth scenario you can be banned from bounty campaign if a manager finds your duplicate record.
I have never had that experience personally, but if you're worried about cheating in bounties, try taking part in bounties with reliable and trustworthy managers.
This people are well known and you can easily find a list of them in the forum.

How does having reliable and trustworthy managers have anything to do with the cheating that goes on in a bounty campaign. Clearly you haven't even checked how it works otherwise you wouldn't say something so completely ridiculous. Unless they have a custom system that automatically tracks applicants based on IP address or some other metric, cheating will always be a problem.

I think such projects just want to save money/coins using a free advertising. Of course this is not fair, but there is nothing to be done about it. I am absolutely sure that the project that tries to cheat will never be successful because they ruin their reputation at the initial stage 
Even the projects who don't bring out any further requirements for the bounty participants to perform, outrightly still don't pay bounty hunters. It's just unfortunate that bounty hunting don't have a community or a body that they can be represented through.

I think the most safest and smartest think they can do this just pay the users because why not people are investing that time and internet on their experiments and they replying back by scanning others by changing the rules are not paying for their work. I had got some reports that some bounty camps are cheating and I will mark them read trust as soon as I find one.
