Regardless of the strict rule given on bounties, scammers are increasing the more. the one I discovered recently is that hunters who are not qualify for some good bounties now use other hunters details to submit their work. when I saw this on a spreadsheet yesterday I am so surprised to see my details submitted on the same spreadsheet twice. What is really happening? Is there a way to block these scammers out?

I you meet one like that, you can just report them to the bounty manager where you join the bounty campaign.
But sometimes there is a good bounty manager that already filter those kind of scammer.

stop scammers easy and simple. In compiling registration forms, managers should prohibit repeated registrations. that is, if there is already a person with a name in the table, then the other person will not register under the same name.

Yes, it is annoying. But I have found solutions to be simple.
Just provide the campaign manager with proof that you are the original owner of the account or information.
All it should take is a couple of screenshots.
I've had it happen to me just once, but it got taken care of after I submitted proof the other person was copying me.

One thing is for sure, there will always be shady people out there that won't think twice about cheating.
No matter what measures campaign managers make, there will always be some new way to cheat it.
So picking a professional campaign manager is essential.
Or, you can always just use something like bountyhive, were they have a great track record and a closed system that weeds out a lot of scammers.

I have seen disloyal bounty hunter participation such as bots in airdrop, use the rating of other members as their own with the intention of winning more stakes, content such as articles and videos are also plagiarized. The complaints exist I think that the bounty managers do their work in this regard. But as you well said there is have to stop the Scammers.

I think scammers will always do anything for them to gain and earn more and I think they can be reduced bot not blocked. Helping the bounty managers will be a good way to start it because it will be favorable for both sides since lesser participants more earning and give better bounty management for the bounty manager.

Scammers use all your data, except the wallet. They leave their wallet with the hope that BM will not notice this, and your bounty reward will go to someone else. I believe that in such situations everyone should check spreadsheets.

Good point, somebody else are also using my identity, good thing that i catch them,i reported their entry to the bounty manager, scammers nowadays are so professional and intelligent, they used us for their own sake, lets be more cautious sometimes, because some of the new bounties that i wanna participate, when i check the spreedsheet my details are already submitted, and its very frustrating in my side.

Karma is real and I am usually checking the spreadsheet of every campaign in what I am taking part in. Because every several weeks, there is a scammer that is trying to use your username or your content to get the rewards.

Some bounty managers have added rules to add proof of account ownership or join gifts with post numbers in gift threads, very many scammers and some people have also used my telegram account, then I report it to the manager and he removes it

Look at the latest rules that applied in almost all of bounty campaigns. Any new participants must have created their own POA (proof of autenthication) Post to be verified if that was not a clone or scammer that used others bitcoitalk account to create the double entry to fool the managers.

That's exactly one of those issues bounty hunters are experiencing. There are lots of scammers in the spreadsheet, who even tend to use multiple accounts to receive bounty rewards. I hope the bounty manager can execute a strict method in dissolving those scammers found on different spreadsheets.

Generally in good projects there are a couple bounty managers that monitor participant's activities and they always ban a scammers. Also there is a risk to become account with negative trust for such users.

Yes, with my data, I also met scammers in various bounty campaigns. If you do not mind wasting your personal time, you can write to the managers of bounty with a request to block scammers. In my opinion, this is the only way to deal with scammers.

This is a very common problem. My work is constantly copied by scammers, and register them under my same name, email address, profile name bitcoin. All they do is change the wallet address, that's all. In this situation it is necessary to rely only on an objective assessment of managers. There have been such cases that have copied my article about 10 times the scammers and their estimated above, and me is not appreciated, and deleted from the table. I was very angry

I have said this already before. This is the danger of having public spreadsheets. Scammers can easily collect data from legit users. At the moment, the best method, other than a hands-on bounty manager, is requiring participants to do a "proof of authentication" post.

I think some bounty mangers have a ways of detecting and punishing scammers, you can actually report to the manager if you find your details used by such impostors. You can actually not worry too much if you are not participating in that particular bounty. Particularly this is not too much of a concern personally as it does not pose any threat to my earnings or income

A good option would be to register in the bounty campaign via telegram bot, which will give links to Google forms for registration. And of course the post with "proof of identification", a link to which it will be necessary to insert this form.

Me too, i also observe this kind of problem. There are pretending scammers to be you just to have given a stake, i hope this type of scam gets rid by the bounty managers, or else there will be much more victims facing about this.

In this case, simply write to the bounty administrator. They will remove such people from the list. I wonder why they do it?
