Topic: FAKE ICOs Bounties. What to do? - page 80. (Read 6426 times)
You can never be 100% sure, that the bounty is legit until you get your reward, but you can search a little bit about the ICO. Read the Whitepaper, see the ann threat, check the community and so on.
I think it's better to investigate the whitepaper of the project before you make any decisions.
some ICOS present in a very professional way, it's hard to understand they're really scam
Almost all of bountist try to earn their pennies participated with some different bounty campaigns. Sometime 20-40 and even more... It takes so much time to joining and do that job so they just have no time to research every ICO.

it's highly recommended to take a look at the forums dedicated to discussions about the project or similar projects. Put questions towards the project team and draw conclusions from the types of responses you receive or discussions you read in these forms.
-Are the project developers open to dialogue?
-Are they forthcoming or are they evasive?
-Are responses specific or do the parties involved speak in generalities?
-Do they come off as overly optimistic?

I suggest that you should check whether the project’s code is open for scrutiny on github. If it's open, it might be a real bounty but if it appears to be cloned/copied from another token/app then it is likely to be a scam.
As a Junior member I always visit the alternate session and always participate in the bounty, until recently I was told to look at some certain feature in every bounty I want to engage in for example and the most important the bounty manager and often time I always participate in twitter bounty and they said the amount of twitter follower of such campaign and sort.
Most fake ICOs are managing their marketing campaign by theirself.
this is a good indicator for me. Check the marketing team and if they are experienced marketing team then i will say thats not a fake ico.

The manager of that bounty will have big part to determine that campaign is a good or scam campaign, chose a bounty who manage by high rank user of this forum. and try bountyhive platform or bounty0x.
I am a newbie just trying to grow on this platform. Within a week of participating in altcoin bounties, 2 bounties I participated in have been reported as Scammers. I get a lot of reads on my articles and Social media pages. I cannot keep encouraging people to invest in these altcoins if they would eventually get scammed. How can new bounty hunters like myself differentiate between a genuine bounty and scammers bounty?
There are so many SCAM ICOs these days. If you've been scammed, you can not get away with it. There are no any approaches to fight it. Just do a lot of reading and researches for you to be able to cope up with your past experiences. Experience accompanies time and work. To not waste the time and effort you put on bounties, you should develop an important skill. You should now technical analysis. You should analyze everything about the ICO. Try visiting their website, read the whitepaper, check the reviews about them and many more. By these ways, you can minimize the chance of being scammed.
Probably the most important thing is not to panic at once and accept that the amount you should have been given to you no one will give, for my not a great stay on the forum I have already understood this, sadly of course, but in the end it's true
Don't Invest on ICO's about doing research about the ICO. You must read the whitepaper of the ICO. Then you can get a good idea about wether the ICO is fake or not. Also don't forget to get opinions from crypto experts.
This is the eternal question of the bounties. Is it a scam or not? Personally, I try to consult with people who have more experience in the bounty campaigns, but I myself study the project, too
Pay attention to the bounty managers, try to remember them. Because if you decide to do it seriously, then you will have to deal with familiar managers and some of them are awful

Emmm at first we couldnt know if the ico was scam or real. Sometimes you need to read the whitepaper deeply before you decide to join the bounty. For minimalize the chance of scam you could doing research from the team of bounty, who the sponsors, what degree the team was, what thing the ico offering (like blockchain, financial offering, or product that help crypto). And the last thing what sector the ico specialize. Hope this could help you choose your right ico.
Scam ICO is not rarely in the crypto the problem it is not easily to recognize in the present campaign but it will be reveal in the coming end then you can fully recognize it when the campaign is finished. Very tricky scammers in this crypto. So be careful. Make sure to put your money in the right investment.
There are really many scam icos right now you just have to read well and be patient in reading, it is a skill that needs to be developed so that you will not waste your time on the scam ico, you just have to read and read there are many articles and people who are posting with regards to every ico, just take time to read them and you will be fully informed.
its very hard to know whether its a scam bounty or not, some ICO’s bounty the project is good all is good and too good to be true but end up not paying you in all your hard work, there are some bounties that you didnt expect to be a successful ones. i think the key is know more about the bounty youre trying to participate, the manager handling the campaign, and the support from the community.
I also check before if the project looks promising and you also can check before you participate in a bounty if the project got good ratings at ico rating pages or if there are some articles on blogs about it
I think fake ICO bounty should include those project asking for KYC that they themselve will not make available for investors and the cryptocurrency community in general! Any ICO asking bounty hunter for KYC is fraud!
