I've been scam by a huge project - Populous

A very well known project by bitcointalk

I participated on their Blog bounty, wrote a blog and sent an email. They stated i didn't email them before the end date of bounty

I screenshort and show to them. No replies

Even after several personal messages, post, email, and i am getting ignored.

Thinking that they might not seen my message, i just posted a sentence in their slack : "Where should i contact person regarding on bounties".

My slack is logged out, and where i tried to login, it stated my account username/password is wrong

Then i receive a mail : "You recently tried to sign in to Populous, but it looks like your account for that team is deactivated. We're sorry about that!"

Seriously?

I won't let that project go in such smooth tempo, they should pay for what they have done.

I'll report them in scam acusation section and sent feedback red trust for him. Read and understand with a project before we joining it is the best way to prevent ourselves to get scammed.

There can't be done anything if you are scammed by a campaign. But you can give a feedback with bad trust and put in the lunk to the campaign. But only do, if you are sure to have been scammed. Its necceserry to read the rules and to be sure of not spamming posts or the non countef posts are not in the categories that are not paid.

Hi! I just want to ask if anyone here been scammed in bounty campaigns? Some who joined the bounty campaign, did abide with the rules and did all the necessary tasks to do to qualify then at the end no payment recieved in their wallet? If so what did you do and if in case it happens what should be done?

Not as I know.
Unless you are not following campaign rules or spamming forum with one line or few word posts and signature manager removes you from campaign I don't see reason why you shouldn't be payed. In case you don't get payed there is not much to be done - you can open scam accusation against them but i don't think it will help you to receive bounty.

Ok. Thanks then.

This is scary. I wish there is a way we see or pin point out. And yes having the fund in an escrow is a good pointer that the ICO is not a scam as it serves as bond. And also always keep in mind not put all eggs in one basket. Maybe distribute efforts to as many ICOs as you can or feel comfortable with.

Ya but you got to have multiple accounts maybe but with only one account you could not join more than one bounty with signature bounty campaign. And even if you have multiple accounts you cannot apply them all in only one bounty campaign. I've read somewhere in this forum that they have a way of finding out if all the accounts belong to only one person. Through your wallet i think. Better be warned than sorry.

Yes .. Ive been scammed once . I did all the post in the facebook campaign but nothing happened. At first they updated the spreadsheet but in the second week it stopped and then nothing earned from all the effort and time of posting , what a waste of time that why be aware of all the bounty campaigns that may waste your time and effort.

You still lucky because you did only a 1 week work and they scammed for your efforts which do really suck just like mine too when i participate on an Bounty campaign working for signature campaign almost a month doing all the postings and exposure but ended up on not being paid because the project became scam later on which it causes for it not to paid lots of participants not only on signature but also on all social,translation bounties.

Oh!! Sorry to hear that 😔

If you obey all its rules, just ask its bounty manager, ask for what you should be paid. If they reject, you can do nothing, they make the manage the rules.

Well we got cops here now to clarify it a bounty is real or not. Its not the earlier where managers can easily make scam contracts. But offcourse its not always that a project is a scam. But also users have to be smart on where they are joining ang not because they are offering good tokens and you are eager for some earnings then you can join instantly.

If the ICO did not turn out to be successful could it be a reason for it to turn into scam?

Thanks. And if they turned into scams what could have been the reasons behind? Is only the ICO not successful or there could have been other factors like, corruption of funds or the managers and developer's faults and shortcomings might be? Thanks for your would be answer in advance.

No problem. They want to earn huge money and dissapear once they have collected the money they want (Yes, it's corruption). Would be better if you joining only in a project which offer escrow with their ICO's funds. With this way, the chance you got scammed is really small or 0%

Ok thanks for in the additional information.

I never meet such a situation like this , now I think you can do nothing, they has kept their right to do anything including sent nothing to their bounty hunters.
Give up that, find another bounty campaign.

As far as I know, I do not have that experience, but I have some experience about zero payback because I did not meet the requirements, for example I did not make enough posts.

Unfortunately, participants in bounty campaigns can do nothing, if they don't receive their tokens.
Participants should be cautious before they join a bounty campaign, after they been scammed, they can do nothing. Participants in bounty campaigns spend their time which is as valuable as the money investors spend.

Ok. And thanks for the reply. But, do you have any idea or tips on a certain bounty campaign if they could possibly be real or scam before joining in the bounty campaign?

No one could able to point if a certain ICO would goes scam or not but heres my tip on choosing since we are talking about joining bounty campaigns then the first thing we should do or observe first if the bounty allocated on bounty alone is too big which we can able to say that its too good to be true and these are the things I do seek out first and calculate when I was still fan on joining bounty campaigns on past years.

I'm not but there are a lot of people. It's hard to predict which ICO will be turned into scam project (OPAIR, EBITZ, ASN). Read and understand with a project before we joining it is the best way to prevent ourselves to get scammed.
I'll report them in scam acusation section.
