Here you can never be sure that bounty company is not scam. No one can guarantee you that. Sometimes you participate, follow all the rules, and then it turns out that it is scam.
If a project doesn't reach the hard-cap , then it's easy to be scam . Usually , if a project is potential , then the website looks great and has good supporters ( ex : 24/24 ) .
first make sure the bounty manager is recommended, second make sure that ICO is running is original project, because if ICO scam project of course I bounty it will be scam,
During 2016, about 300 ICO took place, which raised $ 300-500 million. This result was confirmed in the first quarter of 2017. For the first half of 2017, statistics speak of a billion dollars collected by various block companies. Every day starts up to 10 different ICOs. The plan is scheduled for 2-3 months. The amount of information is simply enormous. For its systematization in the network there are many "assistants". I believe that this statistics of the past years speaks volumes and it can not be said that the majority of ico companies are scammers.
It is hard to know whether or not the project is scam. But certainly there are indications that will help us detect one.
Like doing our own research by checking popular webs as topciolist, icowatchlist, and icoBench among others. Also when their spreadsheets is not up to date then that is one indication that admin is not doing their job. Check their telegram, if they have extremely low community support then it must not be a good project. Or the admin in telegram is a little rude and rough around the edges, or unprofessional then it must be a no good project or a scam.
And of course check the team behind it and who manages it.
That's all I did.

At first hand it is really hard to see if an ICO Project is a scam because most of them are really deceiving, covering their true intents through their marketing strategies. Better thing to do is to dig deeper, do more research about the ICO. Check the team behind it, the road map and the website. The contact channel is also very important.
I think you can find out if a campaign is a scam if there are no updates inside Google Spreadsheets. They must remain relevant to survive.
