Topic: Projects Scamming Bounty Hunters (Read 598 times)
Most times its not always the team/bounty manager's fault, there are other things to hope for when joining a bounty campaign, for example the fundraising issue is the most popular problem new projects do face, once they failed to meet their target all plans goes right into the dust bin
The major problem of bounties lies when you are about to make a pick, you need to be so sure that you will get paid, Bounty Managers and project team have to be investigated thoroughly, professional bounty managers will definitely safe you the headache most times, all we need is good research
Bounty scams like that won't be easily stopped.
the solution is stop promoting and don't just random join a bounty campaign. bounty hunters have often been scammed by a project but for some reason they still carry out promotions without stopping without thinking first (didn't learn from bounty scams before).
so the problem is on each bounty hunter itself. if you feel bored with such a situation (scam) you should try switching to other campaigns that pay using bitcoin or eth. the payment of using tokens is sucks.

A lot of projects are scamming Bounty Hunters and taking Bounty hunters for a ride. What can we do to stop this?
of course the scam project cannot be stopped because there are still many prize hunters still promoting it. the cause of the prize hunter's stupidity is a lack of research and just hoping will to get payment. that is why until now scammers have continued to make prize hunters suffer. I hope the bounty hunter does not despair and considers this a lesson to be more careful again before to participate. 
Scam bounty can not be turned off completely due to our careless bounty hunters, And i have seen bounty hunters who have been just working constantly, but the project has been completed long time ago, it's kinda of stupidity?. So i think a lot of our commitment to the deficit, so it will not stop. We have to stopped working in looking fishy projects. Firstly we have to detect fake team than it can be easily traceable scam projects.

Bounty hunters are ready for the worst, look around you, how many bounty hunters are complaining? Many are tired of that already and those who can't cope leave bounty hunting for other ways to earnike trading, research is really not enough to avoid getting scammed but i still don't want to stop 
I think the bounty scam project cannot be avoided. Before participating in the project, you must do your homework, evaluate the security of the project, and finally decide whether to participate.
Many bounty hunters feel scammed by the fact that developers promise in their campaigns that the prize pool is very high, but after listing on exchange the price drops very much, which means that reward finally turns out to be dust. Of course, this is not the fault of the developers, but a very long bear market and lack of investors. Bounty hunters can't do anything about it, they just have to wait for the trend to change.

Not join bounty campaigns anymore. That is the most effective solution to this problem I guess. If there will be no more bounty hunters joining these scams, there will be no more victims. There will be no more scam bounty campaigns also because they know that they will end up with zero participants. But for as long as there are participants, scam bounty campaigns will also continue to thrive.
So they cannot avoid getting victimized by scammer bounty campaigns if joining bounties and airdrops is a necessity to some. If by joining they will be able to have alternative sources of income, then I guess they should just be openly accepting the possibility that they could end up with a scam project. There should be no complaining at all because that is the reality. Choosing good bounty is easier said than done. In reality, even good bounties turn out another scam.
Mostly almost all of the ICO's right now implements a long duration of their campaigns since most provably they didn't get their targets and want to get more attention to gather more money and I'm so annoyed with this since it will take long time for user to guess if they will be compensated or not since as of now most of them runs after they successfully gather some money for there investors and they left there bounty hunters hanging and if you don't have a guts and proper understandings for sure you will end up crying and it's better for us to not rely on bounty campaigns and just threat this as side activity.
Nowadays more than 80% projects being listed on bounty section aa scammers only so we need to be little more allowed while we are investing on that projects which is scamming the bounty hunters.
I doubt any big-cap investor would be visiting the bounty hunting section of this forum to look for projects to put their hard earned money into. Sure there are some small-cap to mid-cap traders here, but big whales? Definitely few at this point, many have left the forum completely. They would prefer to use some aggregator site to get all the new projects names and information.Quote
Then we as a participant we need to be written more alert while participating on any new bounty campaigns.
It will not help being "Alert". Being illiterate about what a project is and what its intended to be will make the participant take the wrong decision.

Before joining the bounty campaign, we must first look at the whole, starting from the team, the attractive white paper, the project design going forward, their products and cooperation, so we must know in advance so that the bounty that we promote is not in vain.
If the project only relies on the bounty for marketing or promotion then leave it because it doesn't or report on the "Scam Accusations" board

As sad as this might sound there is little or nothing hunters can do, most times hunters work themselves out for more than three months and at the end of the waiting period some bounty managers extends the bounty or refuse to pay with the excuse of hunters dumping down the price of the token, the saving grace that hunters are to apply is to make a background check on the bounty managers track records of bounty he has handled, do he successfully pays his hunters or not. Doing this wil help you know whether if at the end of bounty you will get your reward or not
Hunters should amalyze the project, set points to consider in joining an project, we should not join because of prize we must know whether the project is legit. We should stop wasting our time doing bounty task so at very first we need to study it before joining. The most important thing is to check the project and reduce the risk that is created by a scammer to the minimum. Unfortunately, scammers are getting smarter and creating more trustworthy projects that are actually fake. If we stop joining them and we look for only legit campaigns, then maybe scamming bounty hunters will end.

scammers are everywhere you cant do anything to stop them. As long as there are people who joined in a scam project and promoting it scammer cant be defeated.Free spots in BTC paid campaigns appear quite often. However, the condition to get into the campaign is to write good quality posts and, above all, useful for community to receive merits, which are also often needed to get a spot in a BTC paid campaign. So you have the choice: to improve the quality of written posts, or join bounty campaigns, which recently are mostly scam.
