Ever since I've joined the crypto community I have done couple bounty campaigns and everything is alright, no cheating but I was curious to know about other people experience.
So I want to ask have you been scammed?

I've been joining a lot of bounty campaigns since last year right when I stepped into Jr. Member as the least rank who can join bounty campaigns.
Unfortunately, my ever first bounty campaign was a scam. it was a Tangerine Exchange by Mandarin company. I earned handful of tokens but until today it didn't bumped into crypto exchanges for some serious reasons.
Today, I could say, half of my participated bounty campaigns aren't actually paying so I don't think I have serious problem with that since for me it's pretty normal that in every 2 bounty campaigns, there would be only 1 who is paying.
The only way why I am not totally affected with scam ICOs and bounty campaigns is signing up multiple accounts in order to join as many bounty campaigns as I could.

There are many scam projects and sometimes it is difficult for us small investors to find out if a project is really serious. I've been fooled by Pincoin, DCX, RouTrip and others

Sometimes there are situations where it is very difficult to understand if it is cheating or not. More often it is necessary to scrutinize the project very carefully and try to feel the developers are working on it or just create visibility. And then this is live communication, usually good teams are very friendly, but not quickly answered. Well, in general, you need to understand the goals of the project.

I haven't been scammed by an ICO since I never joined any of them but if it's out of ICO then I have an experience and became a victim before.

I've spent months on some bounty campaigns and then the ICO didn't do too well so we ended up getting paid a load less than we should have, its unfortunate as I was expecting 20x more

You better be happy and grateful that you are paid for your bounty, others are unlucky and not paid so instead of complaining that it was lesser.
Actually you are lucky that you got paid, you're in fortune so don't say it's unfortunate.

Well, yes, just recently with a bounty campaign and therefore their ICO, but I don't want to name it. Though, it was solely my own fault, because the thing already looked like scam when I was applying for it. The allocation was probably too high, but I said to myself that it is worth a shot. I didn't spend to much hours for the project, so I don't really care, but at least I know what kind of projects I need to avoid from a mile away.

Most of the people who get scammed are the true diehard bounty hunters that participate in absolutely any campaign out there. If you participate in even the lowest of the low bounties, then of course you should expect to get scammed. Remember, only around 20-25% of ICOs actually reach their soft cap, and even fewer make it to the hard cap. Therefore you have approximately 25% chance of selecting an ICO that will simply fail. You can of course decrease these odds by careful selection, but failing that, you could also waste a lot of time and energy for nothing.

Not yet and i dont want to be,but as far as i can tell these scams are unavoidable as you can see even those legit projects from are turning into scams which is why theres no assurance from these legit projects,even research will be useless if these professional scammers are going to do the magic,theres no exception for these scammers.

Last example was Benefit project(something about "cashback idea" - useless as i know then).
It was quite good bounty campaign,and in the middle of campaign when they sterted their ICO,after reached 3.5 million$, just deleted all accounts from all services,and dissapear.
Somebody told, people organized the group of prof to find them,but don`t know what happened after

Well, personally i have not engaged in any scam bounty. Although, of i find myself not being paid for the work done through bounty, i will see it gas one of those odd moments that one faces in businesses. When running a business, there are times you might loose and times that you might gain. It is always a two way thing, but whatever happens, do not allow it to discourage you.
