Bot accounts is big problem in the recent all of the bounties project. Responsible manager check every entry in manually and sometimes it's difficult to detect scammer because i see in many telegram campaign total entry is 15K to 20K. Just you make a sense how manager can check it manually. Scammers manipulated specially airdrop and telegram campaign. Translation entry is too low, so it's possible to check carefully.
Bounty hunters should also check the project and the bounty manager. A lot of users join the campaign even after its end, what means that they do not even check basic information at all. If bounty hunters will support scam projects, it will never stop. Before joining campaign check very well who is behind the project!
It's a crypto money area and there is no regulation. It's quite obvious outcome for such environment and conditions. Hopefully there will be some improvements with a new STO period.
I see that more and more bounty managers are scamming bounty campaigns. They received payment from the team, but they didn´t do they work - managing the bounty campaign. I am talking about Smauni, MS bounty, Sylon and many more 
.
So many project that is being mismanaged by the managers and its sad for a developer to encounter such irresponsible user. Developer should also make effort on looking for a good manager, and as a bounty hunter let’s continue helping the DT’s to fight for any scammed projects. .
It would be ideal to immediately find a reliable manager who adheres to strict rules for all participants. And, of course, many rewards require the use of KYC to exclude those who want to receive other people's rewards. And it will not be superfluous to carefully check your data in the tables at registration

Scamming bounties has become a new source of income for organized groups of scammers. Groups with developers on their payroll are using software to create thousands of bots and dumping them in airdrop bounty to collect 100’s of thousands of dollars in bounty tokens. Airdrops may not seem like much, but when you have 20K fake accounts receiving 10-20 tokens, it’s a huge payoff.
In addition, these groups are paying copywriters a few hundred dollars to write 3-4 articles and then google translating them in many languages and posting under many fake accounts. Often using newbie BCT accounts to protect the higher ranking accounts they created to put in signatures campaigns.
This kind of scam has started to flourish because the bounty managers who manage the projects are too lazy or inexperienced to watch out for these scammers.
Bounty hunters get a bad reputation because of these scammers. Also projects can’t get quality work because good bounty hunters don’t want to waste their time, since their hard work will be diluted by scammers.
So to protect yourself when doing a bounty:
1. Watch all activities and report scamming to bounty managers ASAP
2. Google your own articles to see if someone has posted it under their account.
3. Don’t waste your time with airdrops
To the admins
1. Check everyone who enters the bounty.
2. Updates stakes frequently so scammers know you are watching.
2. Don’t be lazy, put in the work...

I stopped writing blog artciles. Because you create a high quality review and put it on your estabilished blog and you will receive almost nothing for it because someone will make one copy paste from another work and put it on 7 blogs and he will receive much bigger reward than you In addition, these groups are paying copywriters a few hundred dollars to write 3-4 articles and then google translating them in many languages and posting under many fake accounts.

Sometimes i just wonder how some people manage to write so many articles at the same time and it baffles me that, some of those who really devoted their time into writing, might not write more than two. Which then mean that some managers do not do through work, when it comes to access some of these entries. Then bounty hunters also have a lot to do in this regards.
after my first two months in airdrops, i discovered that it is useless and time consuming. people should not for once waste time running airdrops. for the bounty, somebody has used my btc account for a bounty i was part of. it is quite clear that some of the people involved in this game are here in this community. they create more than 10 accounts and distribute merits. some even sell out the accounts.

I think this is a great advice for bounty hunters and bounty managers alike,the advice will go a long way to serve as a check to many crypto projects scammers who are in the market carrying out these organised crimes. Thanks
I am really sad because of fraud in bonus programs, many Bounty managers are not interested in this issue. It is time to take strong measures to prevent this situation.

bounty is not the main job, but companies should appreciate their hard work. currently there are too many dramas, delaying payments and exchanges.
even bounty payments are paid in installments until the end of 2019.
They are doing many different ways to create difficulties for bounty hunters. Maybe because the market is going down, they don't want to pay for bounty or pay very little, unlike 2017 when everything goes smoothly. Now we should not waste too much time on bounties, it is too difficult to receive an income even bounty payments are paid in installments until the end of 2019.
The number of scammers is high it makes choosing real bounty project hard. I think the team should have a super strict rules for their bounty hunters so scammer cant join in. Doing bounties is not fun anymore scammer ruin everything.
In bounty that I provide - very strict rules. There no place for cheaters! Link in signature
Because of this, many projects are beginning to introduce the KYC procedure. This is the only way to get rid of hundreds of multi accounts and bots. But you give the right advice, everyone should be order, and then all will be well.

Yeh, I agree with you. There are hundreds of scam bounties now. So many projects ignore hardworking bountyhunters. THey should work more carefully while checking our work too. There are so many bots which are participating in bounties.
I think instead of admin tasks to check for a bounty. the most appropriate is of yourself which should be able to analyze or protect yourself to be better and to avoid the project containing the scam. a lot happens is many do not ignore it and go directly to the project that looks good.
It sometimes amazes me how people could be such heartless to dupe others of their hard earn monies through this way. Its really becoming rampant since they normally go away freely with their bad deeds. Its about we do something about these act before it escalates.
Yes, I agree there is such a problem and I faced it when I made the content, and the scammers copied it and received the same ratings. So I stopped working.
