Topic: It is hard to detect scammed bounty campaign.. - page 36. (Read 37281 times)
No one really knows, then we see that bounty participants increased significantly when the project team announced something that they were getting pretty good funding. I think that is the main reason bounty participants.
It is very difficult to know if the ICO is a scam or not, maybe I can only say look from the ICO manager, whether he has ever undergone ICO and whether the ICO is successful or not, if the success of the success of ICO is 70% successful. why I can say 70%, because for now a lot of ICO is a scam.
From now yes it is hard to detect weather it is a scam or not. Some seems it is a good bounty campaign but when it comes in the middle of the ICO project and token sale it will crash. I dont know what happened, suddenly leave the project and stop.
Yes it not easy to tell a scam bounty, especially if its expertly arranged, with proper coordination, and that has been the case in the recent past, most are falling in the traps of these scams, just because they aren't keen enough to notice, or dont carryout proper research on the projects before taking part in their bounties
Its not an easy thing to detect scams, especially these days when The scammers are very tactful with their dealings that make it almost impossible to detect the scams, some of the scam projects are very well planned that detecting that they are scams is not an easy thing. But if you are keen enough then you will see the indicators, i for example avoid projects with unanimous teams, if they are legitimate then there is no reason for them to hide their identities.
There are bounty campaigns that are obvious scam because of their websites and presentations. Because if you analyze their websites and whitepaper and all of its presentations, you can see it's not presentable. But there are campaigns that looks promising and will end up scam too. So I guess, let's all pray that we do not encounter such that. But its unavoidable.
It is really hard to detect scammed bounty campaign. After completing all the requirements to be able to get accepted in a bounty campaign, spending much time to participate in forums and not to mention carrying their banners, completing all the tasks and reports then all of a sudden you will just find out that you have been scammed already. luckily I am not the only one but to think all participants did the same efforts as well as you did. But it is really happening, lesson learned and could be just charge it to experience and move on. If we could only find out at early stage if we were in to scam or a legit bounty campaign. Who would really know anyway?
Currently the bounty program does have a bit of a bad reputation. besides many who do a scam, no wonder that we often do not get paid because the project does not touch softcap.I advise you to learn more about this bounty selection:

To choose a bounty compaign, I advise you to look at the status of the manager on this forum. The higher the status, the more reliable. This does not give a 100% guarantee, but most of the scams come from managers with the status of Newbie.
See the ICO rating on sites such as ICOBench and others. Do not join companies with a rating below 60% (3.5 on ICOBench).
Do not join the company from any managers from Amazix.

i think it is really difficult to determine if a campaign is a scam or not especially at the beginning. Usually, It will just be determined after the crowdsale and if they choose to not give the rewards on the participants. But still,checking the background of the team would be a huge help in order to make assumptions on the future of the projects that you are into.
Yes it is difficult to detect fraudulent campaigns. You have to have a very sharp eye to realize that. There are many bonus campaigns created to attract many participants. The main purpose is to advertise the campaigns of the investors.
It is very difficult like you said since the scam project may be well planned with interesting and convincing whitepaper. I personally think the team should be a major criteria to predict whether a project is a scam or not.
I believe you use the same level of scrutiny to check bounties as you do with projects you are investing in, you will reduce drastically your chances of being a victim of bounty scams

true, I also often get bounty signature campaign that scam, and I know it after completing all my duties.we can not hold anyone accountable, even to the manager though, because besides us, bounty managers also suffer greater losses than we do.
no one can guarantee a bounty signature campaign will end well, because no one knows what will happen in the future.
I think we just need to strengthen mentally and be ready when reunited with bounty fraud signature campaigns.

Since, the market is decentralized and unregulated, it is tough to differentiate between fake and legit campaigns. Begin with analyzing team members. Ask the company about the team members and their earlier work and positions on social media (Twitter, Telegram, Discord, Facebook etc) where they are most active. Also, try to understand the relevancy of the project and its future prospects. Ask more and more about the project and roadmap to the company and this way you can hopefully manage to know about the legitimacy of the ICO.Moreover, ranking sites can also help.
no one will know. because for me all the campaigns are legit and all I follow. if ICO is a scam we just need to stop doing the report and do not regret it. ICO scam or scam campaign is already like our risk.
My advice is to think positively with all the campaigns. follow all existing campaigns. stop complaining.

I suggest to you mate to invest fully in bitcoin or in Etherium and don't think about the bounty campaign to prevent get scammed because we don't have assurance in Bounty Campaign that it is truly not a scammed. Keep holding your tokens until the market reach to the highest price.

To be frank with you mate, it is very difficult to spot out or detect a campaign that is going to be a scammed one because so many campaigns have good whitepaper and good road-map which make it more difficult to know any with that motive. I have participated in so much campaigns that i personally went through their whitepaper and discover that they have good project which at the end came out to be a scammed one. Mate it is really hard to detect which campaign will end up being a scam one.....

Yeah,it's difficult to detect which campaign has a potential to paid back for participants because they are smart to copied all the information of the project that launched by others. But in my way to prevent this I usually rated every campaign and choose a good option. My advice is to think positively with all the campaigns. follow all existing campaigns. stop complaining.
its scam bounty campaign when from begining, ICO is scam.
If ICO is not scam, bounty campaign can not be scammed. So whenever you take a bounty campaign, spend a little time to see their website, their team, their project,...v...v...Don't try all bounty as much as you can because you also invest your time in bounty. So check ICO like you are investors who will invest money in, that will help you to reduce risk of joining scam bounty campaign

Unfortunatelly, it's not the best idea to check whether you would invest in the project, because even professional investors get scammed by fake ICOs, and if never had any investing experience, it will not help you. Sometimes you can even be sure whether other people really invest in a project or not, and the reasons are:
1) fake tokensale progress bars on the website;
2) fake boosted activity in telegram groups created by bots/airdropers pretending to be real investors
