The forum not moderated any kind of scam or bounty and everyone have no time for solving this.

The bounty have a manager and team project right? then they should solve it the best way to prevent the cheater for their own project. There is no guarantee at all a bounty without cheating, always has some cheater. But if the project hiring a good manager, at least the manager knows how to make the cheater not too much by limiting each application by using email or device also using POA to check and verify all entries.

If you want a bounty 100% without cheater, is impossible.

It totally impossible to 100% cheater free in the bounty campaign scheme because some bounty managers are not doing their job right and the issue to reduce the numbers of bounty cheaters that use high ranking members account information to register have been discussed and the solution decided then is the Proof of authenticity post (POA). But it amazed that some bounty managers don't even care about it.

In bounties spamming or cheating is now a major problem which should be solved in a constructive way. I think All High ranked users should discuss about it's solution.Moderators should make some rules which will be very restricted and anti spamming.

That is very rampant today, I was also victimised by cheater before used my username and used random social media accounts then took the reward which unfortunately I joined without knowing that he registered my username first. Lesson learned because I didn’t check the spreadsheet after I registered was my mistake.

That's a very big mistake even when registering on a bounty it's always advisable to check your data on the shit to see if there is any mistake done just like that of BOUNTY DETECTIVE they made everything available not until bounty is over that's when the will start trying to figure out one or two members who has an issue regarding another Account who is using ones details to get the reward.

It's something hard to pull off and not really effective because the address is brand new (no transactions to trace if it was marked as a scammer's address), and the scammer can also easily generate another address using HD wallets like Metamask or Myetherwallet when applying for another campaign using the same usernames

Actually you are right but reporting it would let anyone know that their address has been used for scamming. Its gonna be hard to catch these guys because they are just depending on the assumption that the account they used are also joining the campaign they trying to get some tokens too. Maybe some manager missed it if they were careless and too bad the one work hard for pormotions only scammer will received their rewards.

What I can think the reason behind it only the campaign manager didn't work properly or handled by an unprofessional manager.

Correct. If those works have been credited then only scammer will gain the rewarda, but since they are randomly doing that they are also not sure but there are cases probably that tokens went to scammer address instead of the one work on it.

I really don't understand why people enroll campaign with random social media accounts, how they will complete the tasks if they not the owner of that accounts (except they already bought those accounts)? What I can think the reason behind it only the campaign manager didn't work properly or handled by an unprofessional manager.

The only way can do about this. Is just report those address and post as a warning. I do hope those address once reported as scam or alleged used for scam should be lock by ethereum network but this is far from reality to happen soon or never will due to the nature of blockchain.

How you will investigate the facebook and twitter account if the scammer just submit a random profile there by collecting from internet?

We cant do that for those social media accounts. Only the ethereum addresses are the only link to those cheaters. Im pretty sure that even the owner of these social accounts have no idea that they have been used for these kind of fraud.

Quote from: JeromeTash on June 09, 2020, 10:13:57 AM

But problem is the addresses are also brand new so there is no way of linking through transactions to find out who actually the person behind this is.

A lot of accounts should be investigated here, we can trace who owns those Facebook accounts or twitter accounts linked to a specific account here in Bitcointalk and tagged all these accounts, it's bounty manager's fault why this thing happens, he should know that there, a verification post is important so the entry can be validate now they have to fix their mistakes.

Everything used including the social media usernames and profiles are just random. It's only the Ether addresses that may be the only actual thing that belong to the person behind this... But problem is the addresses are also brand new so there is no way of linking through transactions to find out who actually the person behind this is.

How you will investigate the facebook and twitter account if the scammer just submit a random profile there by collecting from internet? I visited some profiles few minutes ago and see most of the accounts that has not a crypto related post in the past. So that means the scammer just put it and he/she also does not know the real user of that facebook/twitter accounts. So I think you can not get any good result by this way.

Only The bounty manager can reduce this. And this the bounty manager responsibility. When all bounty manager will be aware of it and reject all the suspicious applications then they will automatically stop this ways to scam.

Good idea since they are fond of using other's account why not change to users address and let these scumbags cry for the reward their work for.

It's not the first campaign I see my name in, like this.
Glad to see they're nuked now, at least the campaign manager did react pretty fast after this was uncovered.

Yes. Probably they already recognized they were rejected cause if no one noticed they may add some more participants account.

Seems like the manager already rejected a lot of the participant. My name is on the list and the Facebook profile that is link is not mine so clearly, there is someone using a lot of our profiles. The application should be posted in the bitcointalk account so that the manager could confirm it. The registration for the Facebook campaign is just using google docs and anybody could use anyone username in bitcointalk the manager should know it already but it was fine since a lot of participants were rejected already. It seems like they been doing this for a long time or maybe only by one user is doing all of the applications that are rejected. Anyway, it guesses it didn't work at all but it was not great. What a great find the bounty was just June 2020 so a lot of people could go and attempt this its better that we are aware of it if someone attempts it again. Also, I think the proof message would be enough to be accepted as an applicant.

Thank you , Our Bounty team is now working on checking all valid participants. This is the reason why Authentication post is required. Ensuring that no cheaters will be accepted on this campaign

And this encourages spamming. As loyceV said, ask them to add their address in the profile. Some bad guy used my name too. Nuke them !!! :-P

This is the main reason for using proof messages.

I'm pretty sure the main reason is bumping and spamming the thread. Otherwise it could be handled by PM, or via the user's Bitcointalk Profile.

Why don't you let them post their address in their profile? You can even use Google Docs spreadsheet to scrape the data, so they'll be instantly accepted or rejected after joining. You'll save yourself a lot of time that way, and reduce spam on the forum.

Try Gunbot for a month go to -> https://gunbot.ph

I appreciate you OP for taking the time to compile all of this. I was surprised when I'm mentioned in a "Scam Accusation" Board. But after reading the whole topic, I understood that my profile was applied to be used there. Unfortunately, the manager there is quite negligent with that. I'm not sure how I got there but there's no authentication post from me and I was still posted in the spreadsheet. I just don't understand how it happens to be there though.

The Google Sheet is in View Only. Unless the editor of that is also part of the scam or something. I don't know.
