Unfortunately, it is usually really difficult to detect a scam Bounty campaign. As for me, I analyze the project itself before participation in their promotion, this helps to skip many suspicious projects.

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?
The truth is, it is very easy ti get scammed by participating in a scam bounty campaign but if bounty hunters take out their time to do extensive research before participating then life would have been very easy. Most bounty hunters just decide to for the reward of what they are expecting during the campaign or at the end of the campaign this is not right and it seems not to be helping the community anymore.

It is hard to know if you are on the scam project.
Most of scam are with SCAM ICO but there is 1 situation where the ICO a successful one.
They are now listed on LBANK and COINSUPER...
IDA CHAIN is ONE SUCCESSFUL ICO base in CHINA.
But after the success they left the bounty participants unpaid and nothing to hear from them after ICO.

This is a new era for bounties so you have to trend wisely ,so your research very well before joining any bounty and I think bounty managers matters a lot ,they are the ones tampering with most bounty payouts and many of them are scammers especially the ones with bad ratings ,bounty managers with newbie accounts are dangerous too but not all of them

It's so disheartning since so many bounty campaigns are turning out this way. Howbeit, it has been on my mind lately that there should be a way to devise some mechanism to detect these scam projects flying over everywhere
Many people only come to ICO projects without doing research first and then they realize that the project is a scam. And this is certainly what makes many people feel that they have been cheated and they are involved in spreading fraud projects. But that can be a lesson for us and be more careful in making choices.
I agree, it is a shame when you do what you need to, observing all the rules, but in the end you have to deal with the Manager and challenge some of his decision.
It is not always easy to identify scam ICOs as very often the market situation makes it difficult for ICOs to succeed.
For example they cannot raise enough funds and then postpone and postpone and quit at the end. And you
have already invested a lot of efforts promoting the project. I would make difference between non successful
and scam ICOs.

I agree with the participants of the forum, where they talk about too attractive projects specifically designed to attract attention, which is also supported by good ratings, in other words, contrived. Do not rush to trust them, too sweet for the truth. Insidious scheme.
yes you are right now scammers are everywhere and in my opinion no one knows project is real or scam because the one who really knows is team, sometimes from the start it is very convincing and fine but after they reach hardcap they disappear
Yes that scammers always be confusing ourself with their advertisement other promotion but we are the investor we need to research a lot more before investing otherwise scams are definitely affect our investment and it may give you a huge loss.

That's why you should filter tons of bounty campaigns and take part in dozens of them. Watch some managers, investigate the idea of chosen ICO and its team background. Check the quality of the website and WP, also check what is the stage of the crowdsale and how much they have already collected. You should gain experience and try different projects, then you will be able to choose wisely and take part in less campaigns.
The red flags that were stated earlier can not help to detect scam projects lately. Most scam projects have changed their strategy they develop, devising new ways to prevent them from being detected as scam.
Fraud in the bounty companies themselves is almost impossible to detect, it is also almost impossible to detect fraud in ICO, except for frankly bad projects. Therefore, you should join bounty companies or proven managers or good projects that you trust.
To do this, rather carefully read the project conducting the bounty campaign. Pay attention to everything, especially the little things in the form of photos and names. And draw conclusions. This is enough for me to avoid fraudsters.
There are lot of bounty hunters that quits doing campaign since the bear market started and also there are lot of scam projects created that led for bounty hunters to lost their interest in joining bounty program but the good thing here is bounty hunters are now getting picky on every campaign to avoid those fraud projects.
I find it difficult to understand that a specific reward campaign is a fraud. There are photos of the team. The project demonstrates the development. And then they just disappeared. And they can no longer be contacted. I do not know how to protect myself from such situations.
i am totally agree with you, i have participated many bounties may be more than 50, all i realized that this is unpredictable. For example any project which doesn't have any whitepaper even can make profit. So this is a little birt about luck.
I think it's hard to know. Because during the company chat is active. Admins say everything they ask for and see themselves as something Korean. Sites are now doing at a high level. Every day it is difficult to distinguish fraudsters.
The fact is that the ico market of companies and the robot helicopter is divided into various kinds of features and functions. Thus, fraudsters adapt to this and come up with increasingly sophisticated ways to deceive investors. Jump to:
