A lot of projects are scamming Bounty Hunters and taking Bounty hunters for a ride. What can we do to stop this?

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.

They control everything they set up the rules, they can change the rules, they can lock the token, they delay the distribution, any kind of cheats that there is, they will do these poor bounty hunters, the only way we can take a revenge is to make a report in the scam section and ask people to support a negative flag and ask investors to never buy their token, or better take a vacation from these ICO bounty campaigns.

No, there is a way to stop those scammers. Just don't join in all altcoin bounties and they can't scam you and others anymore. Just join in btc paid campaign or campaign which willing to use escrow for their bounty amount

yeah it seems like that's the only good way to avoid scammers, I'm sad that a lot of prize hunters are only paid with junk coins or crap from scamming bounties and some prize hunters switch to BTC paid campaigns, i think that's is good because the chances of being fooled are very few. scammers indeed is can not be stopped but we can avoid it.

A pretty vague statement to make in a thread.

If you know a project is scam you would not promote it would you? Bounty hunters are more or less informed about things like these and their lack of intellect and critical thinking makes them victims. They know that the bounty wont be paying well even if its not a scam one but they still promote them like their life depended on it. You cant make these red-pilled bottomfeeders stop by just telling them unless they realize the truth.

The only way to stop this is to stop supporting scam projects and if some idiot bounty hunters didn't know what is a scam project then let them get scammed because they don't learn or even bother to do their own research. It's been around here for a while these bounties who keeps popping up like a wild mushroom but only few of them are worthy for bounty hunters.

Let those blind hunters to keep being victimized, it's a matter of good research and better understanding with the projects that you are going to support a lots of scam but if you do your analysis and you carefully assess if there's real potentials and if everything inside the road map do have real possibilities then you can proceed. Without that best not engage to avoid wasting your time.

I feel sorry for them because they are trying to make some money here but in order to make some good cash you have to know everything about of the said investment or projects that you are going to help to promote. If you don't know anything about them then it would be a waste of good energy promoting some scam project.

Majority would really be hoping for some possible good pays with their shit coin without even realizing that they are just basically wasting up their effort and time on doing things which doesnt even considered to be paid up in the end of time.

Its all fluffy and warm when you first start doing it but you see the bad effects after some time, if you know what I mean Grin

Its true for these bounties too. But they realize it later, just like any other newcomer. We try to do out best to tell them to not take part in altcoin bounties but take part in this forum which can lead to a better rank in the long term and they would be able to join the bitcoin campaigns. But few actually listen. First timers are the biggest victims of these waste of time hunts.

They still think 2017 bull run will happen every year. How you expect them to understand the truth?

We cant do anything to stop this scam projects to continue to exist but we can do something to prevent ourselves joining in such projects.

Make a research and dont believe easily with high rewards. Much better if you will only join in a campaign that pays in btc or eth weekly so you dont have to worry that you'll not get paid after months of your effort to qualify for the rewards.

many people which is difficult to identify whether this is a good project or a scam, most of them see the number of prizes. we should have a discussion thread about the project so that we can sharing whether the project is good or bad, but unfortunately, this is difficult to do, because when people get a really good project, they will choose silence, so that not many people join and he gets results the big one.

The focus of bounty hunters just money, so as they will try to take a part with bounty campaign which pay its participant with the large amount of money. They don't care with whatever project even some of them just directly join without any know the ins and out of the project. Whereas, the developer of the project itself is extremely need the performance of them.

These things cannot be used by bounty campaign as an advantage as they wanted. Such as to get paid in form of stable coin or the coin which has been listed on the exchange. So when the project end up to scam/shitcoin they have been paid because the payment system will occur once a week such signature campaign which paid in btc.

My conclusion is, I won't blame scam project that always be popping up but I just deplore to the bounty hunter's behavior as if they were worthless. I mean, they aren't focus to the function of the project that will be used in the future, the team behind the project and the bounty manager that being trusted to manage the bounty program but they only focus to the reward that will be obtained.

Easy to say that but in reality, it stinks.

Unfortunately, but you can not protect 100% against scam. In my opinion, there are only two things you can do to reduce the risk of being cheated:
1. Choose only campaigns run by trusted managers (they should verify the credibility of the project before cooperating with it).

Even they verify, it doesn't guarantee that they won't get scam as even managers are also the victim unless they are paid in advance right before they launch the bounty.

2. You need to verify by yourself if the project is credible by checking the dev team, whitepaper, roadmap, etc.

Some projects made everything perfect so we won't doubt and besides paying some bucks to professional web designer and content writer will be nothing on the amount that they can run of.

Will be very hard to stop it, to make a lot of people not join that scam bounties will need a lot of things to do. Maybe if me, just start by ourself, let'd do research first before join in project, or maybe make investment when we think the project is really good. Maybe with that, a lot of bad project will dissapear only in time and then what just left is good projects.

The idea that a project could be legit and get them a lot of money after the campaign is very lucrative to bounty hunters. Its not that bad to think they could earn but before joining they should evaluate the project first whether it could successfully launch and will be used by people on the internet. This isn't 2015 anymore where the ICO can generate a lot of funds because the team doing it are passionate and dedicated to what they are doing. Joining campaign of these projects is like contributing the scam. Examine the team and their projects properly.

Opps! You just wondering that ICO projects just scamming bounty hunters. Did you wonder that so many investors getting scam due to bounty hunters? They just start spread the word about a project before done their own diligence. In a result, so many scam ICO's even with fake team/plagiarized whitepaper raised fund and skipped eventually. You can stop it avoid shady projects. Don't jump to the campaign before research, spend sometime to realize the conditions. Check their concept and team how effective. You can't expect good return from bad projects by the way.

If there are joiners, they will never stop. They'll get free advertisement from you guys so if you can't find a reliable bounty, don't join random bounties.

Or better yet stop joining bounty, it's quite unreasonable but if you guys will stop joining then these scammers will also stop. While the 2 years are enough to wake up that doing bounty is just a waste of time and it wouldn't regain anything that had happened in 2016 and 2017.

However, I believe that the percentage of bounty hunters had lessen and only those new in crypto are just the one who are joining.

Stop joining bounties. As simple as that.

Bounty campaigns run because the bounty hunters want them to run.

It is because of the false hope that this shitcoin is going to become the next bitcoin that makes the hunter join, but then just think about it, would so many piles of shitcoin really exist if they were all going to take over bitcoin? They are all lies and projects without any development. If you become an advisor then you pump and dump the project when you feel like. Whats good in that.

Bounty hunters are even less than that, they would never be able to voice their demand nor sell their token because it has zero value in the market.

People should stop on joining these bounties but we know that getting rid of these projects would continue as long there would people who are willing
to promote that shit stuff. Majority would really be hoping for some possible good pays with their shit coin without even realizing that they are just basically
wasting up their effort and time on doing things which doesnt even considered to be paid up in the end of time.

I know that is their fault being scammed. Ive joined campaigns that has been scam before and its inevitable to sometime fall for this. Even some Managers that is famous has been fooled as well but I'm not blaming them, I just want them as well to do a legit one and not just accept some projects because of payment.

I believe as member of this forum "They have this responsibility to do this for the sake of their own members here"

If I'll handle a project for a bounty, I'll make sure it is worth to be promoted and rewards will be given to those deserving. Of course part of it, is giving them a real legit one.
