Topic: Did I get scammed for a bounty? Can I prevent this from happening in the future? - page 2. (Read 303 times)

I know that being a bounty hunter must be ready to accept all projects that do scams, I have experienced many scams while participating in bounty campaigns, many people ask how to avoid scam ICOs? I think it is very difficult to avoid scam ICOs, this forum should have regulations and filters for registered ICOs.

This is normal in bounty hunting, expect that you will not get some token from your work. You should know this kind of risk, and if you failed in some of your work do work again, there’s a lot of good bounties out there try to figure it out. You not got scammed, it just so happen that you work with a failed project.

I followed the instructions to the bounty posted on BitcoinTalk. I submitted the links to my articles. I asked BEFORE the bounty was distributed IF I needed to submit my articles any where else or do anything else. They told me I was "All Good". I put all of the work I did for the bounty in the bounty log on discord. I made posts about Eth Town on Reddit, Steemit, Twitter, etc. and constantly replied/supported the project. My life got busy and I stopped checking the discord channel because I assumed I was "all good". The main net was delayed and I never received any bounty/airdrop.
These are the messages I received from the manager. I need to know... Am I at wrong or did I get scammed?

For me airdrops are not good,because you can recieve only a penny crypto coins,from the project airdrops thats you participated and sometimes are not,while in other hands you asking if your scam from the bounty or airdrops thats you participated,i thinks there are times thats they delayed to give your bounty rewards,because of bad market situation now,so its better to wait a little patience and try to communicate in telegram the community manager,of when should you recieve your works of labor in participation.

I can understand how painful it is when you put in much work to do a bounty and at the end of the day, you were not get paid, it's very painful, i went through the conversation between you and the bounty manager and I think the problem is that you are not checking on them to get the latest information from them, I have been in a bounty where i didn't get paid because i was not following up on the bounty thread, as a bounty hunter, you should always follow up on the bounties you are participating to know if something changed, or there is an information.

Terms and conditions don't mean much in crypto, you do the work with the risk of not being paid the bounty. Some don't care about us bounty hunters they think our work is not important and we are just out to get free tokens to dump. Choose you project wisely and look for good bounty managers

You need to get your hands on the terms that the bounties were done on, that is the way that you can know if you are wrong or not. But really if you look at the rules for the bounties now you will see where they say that they reserve the right to remove anyone from their bounty and they do not have to explain why so maybe that is what happened here.

Is there a written copy of the terms of the bounty? Was it specified beforehand that you had to be active in their discord, in order to receive the bounty?
Did you know that they were going to issue the bounty after contacting you on Discord?
If not, I'd say it's definitely a scummy thing to do, from their side.

There is a dedicated channel for scam accusations where this post would probably be better suited. Why don't you contact some of the other participants and if they also were not paid than write a post detailing your experience in the scam accusation section.
Thank you for the advice. Much appreciated.

I think you need provide more information about this project and the conversation between you and bounty manager.
And you can move this post to Scam Accusations section. If there are other participants be scammed like you, they will confirm that.

The posters above me has said it all. Go to the right section where complains like this are been discussed so that you can get proper attention and maybe you might get your payment also.

I’m prevention of situations like this,
All you need to do is make a comprehensive research always
About the project the team and the bounty manager
Never embark on a bounty because the review is good
Make your own research
Do your review too before joining

Bounties that pays in tokens are always risk.
Look for reputable and trusted managers. There are some bounties out there that pays with btc, which are much safer too.
Try to explain the best you can the situation at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0 Scam Accusations board.
If it was your first bounty, it is possible that you made something wrong too, so they skipped your payment. Try to contact the manager before opening the accusation..
