Bounty managers would usually require each participant to comment on the bounty thread asking for details such as social media accounts. In filling up the form, the participant should post the link of his comment.

Oh, I experienced that before that was a great move from bounty managers. I wonder why they'd stop from doing it? It will help the campaign to get REAL influencers, not the fake one. This will lessen also their job of re-checking accounts that without their knowing they have already checked.

Locking the topic. I think this method will help people, the manager, and the bounty hunters. Be vigilant co-hunters. Always check the spreadsheet and ask managers kindly for help.

This is really normal when it you joined Telegram Campaign like my account registered 5 multiple times in that campaign. I think we should strict ETH account in the forum. We should only use the one we indecated in our forum account and get banned the bounty participant if use another wallet.

I remember putting ETH address in your profile had been used for airdrops before but I am have not seen managers used it in bounty campaigns yet. Many are not willing to share their address so that method could lessen the participants and would probably affect the exposure of the project.

Why would people want to not expose their ETH accounts? Out from spam tokens?

Almost all of us here mate experience about that situation,so before I apply in any Bounty Campaigns I check the spreadsheet first to avoid cheaters that is using my usernames and profile links,so when I see it that someone spamming my personal information I'll inform immediately the Bounty Manager so they can quickly solve it.

I also have this experience. Those cheaters want to steal our hard earned stakes so as our coins. That is why I always check the bounty spreadsheet and search for my username, bct profile link and other information to make sure that my account will not be copied by cheaters. Maybe they will come up with a way for cheaters not to create duplicate accounts.

With a very heavy load of bounty campaigns going on all at the same time, it's even hard to keep up with the spreadsheet as someone might even use your details to enroll for another signature campaign which you're presently not taking part in.

Yes, unfortunately this fraud is booming on the forum..I often find myself in the table but the wallet address is not mine, even a blog/article saying my user name ...I used to fight, asked to remove scammers, but many managers did not react, I threw it a thankless task...to leave the purse in the subject is not an option, many in the profile he's written, but it does not protect us from scammers.

This post is to inform everyone that this SCAM is out there in the forum.

I had this campaign, I joined Signature Campaign, my account is re-applied in this campaign with another ETH address.

I check my campaign's progress weekly and was shocked to see that I had a double entry. I re-think if I mistakenly re-applied but when I check the ETH address it was a different address. None of those I can control.

This might cause a problem for those who are working hard for a campaign. And at the end, if not avoided/reported, might cause you to lose your reward.

To help others and maybe campaign managers, I wanted to start a list of ETH addresses that are used in this kinds of scam attempts. Hope you guys can help me by posting/reporting here address you wish to be added.

It's for all of us here in the forum.

List of ETH address that is used to SCAM.

Code:

0xe30dd7abbF2e108CaE0DB95bE14E7235b9035904

I already encounter this kind of situation where another person use my accounts and it's information just to reapplied in a bounty campaign but with a different wallet address. So I made a contact with the bounty manager to take care of my query and he/she suddenly denied the participation of that person, so it is better to always checked the spreadsheet if there's other people using our names.

I've seen this kind of issue in the bounty campaign, someone trying to cheat the bounty by using somebody else account.
But a few days later the account already crossed, and mentioned that the account is a fake one, it seems the real owner reporting the account to the bounty manager.

Thank you for the information that you have shared with all of us here. It is very worrying that this has happened to campaign participants, this will be very detrimental to participants. A person who works for weeks does not get a prize, because the wallet address has been changed by the perpetrator. This is worrying !! Angry

UPDATE: Now I was accused of multiple accounts. I detected another participant who uses my account. This is really bothering. But good thing the manager of the campaign is cooperative.

Maybe putting our approved address in our information here in our account can help? I remember before, that some campaigns require hunters to put their ETH address(es) in their location details.

So if the address is not in the location address of the hunter's account, they will not accept it.

Im not quite sure if this is really the use of this method before.

Do you guys think this will help?

this cheating problem has often happened on every bounty, indeed we are worried that multiple lists can be a problem, but I'm sure the bounty manager has their own way to solve this problem. but if we find it, report it to the bounty manager to help them overcome this problem.

it's useless to post their eth address, because the eth address they always change and they make a new one in each bounty they cheat.

This happens all the time.
That's why a bounty campaign manager should ask the participant to resgister the proof of authentication post.
So, the scammer can't duplicate our entry

So how this proof of authentication work?

Can anybody here tell me how to do this proof of authentication thing and how it will work?

Bounty managers would usually require each participant to comment on the bounty thread asking for details such as social media accounts. In filling up the form, the participant should post the link of his comment.

Even you have a bunch of eth address of probably impersonators, they actually create a new one, like hundreds of it, so you cant find that person by collecting their claiming address, because they are only signing up/filling up google form and dont have any link about their forum username.

You should create a topic in the Reputation section and try to find out what address the ETH walks into with the bitcointalk account, from which you can "tag" all of those accounts.

I guess we should be very careful on giving our details on fake airdrops and bounty campaigns, let's make it a habit to check whether we have a double entry or someone used our details in that particular project. The best thing to do if you discover one is to report to the bounty team so that they'll give proper action to the perpetrators.

often come across things like this and indeed very troubling. people want to be paid from the results of the hard work done to others. enough just to report manager bounty to take action against that sort of thing. even if the need to browse just the wallet from voters transactions exist because sometimes the wallet also belongs to one of the accounts in this forum.

I see this almost all the time, people register with my name on bounty both the one I'm participating on and the ones I'm not partaken in.
The most annoying one is the signature part which just started recently. You will register on a signature campaign, few weeks later someone else will help you register for that same company again.
