Topic: See why most bounty hunters get scammed - page 6. (Read 1648 times)

I think that you need to ban those people who send their proofs in this campaign. If a person does not distinguish a joke from a normal one, then he has nothing to catch here.

Situations are very different and it's not just bounty hunters. Many teams that conduct their ICO / IEO using this forum, after the bounty, do not want to pay the promised tokens to the participants of the bounty companies and therefore resort to various tricks, tricks and outright deception, taking advantage of the fact that so far this activity is practically not regulated by states, but bounty hunters are divided and it is quite difficult for us to together defend our violated rights.
Over time, if this activity of bounty hunters is still in demand, perhaps this process will be directed towards a more civilized channel, but for now this is still the period of the "wild" ICO / IEO.

Bounty hunters got scammed only because lack of knowledge, stubborn(not all), don't know how to listen, and neglectful.
But if the hunters will only be careful and sensitive in the campaign they are joining in, surely in the end they're not gonna be
a victim by the scammers.

Hey guys it's was a April fool campaign managed by cryptopreneurbrainboss  a reputed bounty manager. But we learned from this campaign that all bounties campaigns hunters don't follow which projects are ? Or even a scams projects. They don't consider anything before joining.

The thread in op show it that all of those bounty hunters in the thread created by CryptopreneurBrainboss are bounty hunters that won't read the bounty they wanted to join as they are only reading how much the reward cost without reading even the title and other important things to read like the whitepaper and study the project if it can survive in the long run rather than find a bounty canpaign and check if the reward is decent.

sometimes it's not a problem with the existing slots. but trust in certain reward managers that keeps them from analyzing Projects well. when they trust the manager, they will only follow every project that the manager is holding.
see until now some of the big names in this forum also sometimes get project scams. especially in the 2018 and 2019 seasons. many projects emerged but very few were successful.

That would be an easy to win case, I think (but then I'm not a lawyer). I always try to join campaigns that are managed my reputable managers who hold the entire bounty amount, exactly to avoid situations like the one you mentioned.

The reasons why participants in bounty campaigns are deceived are different and not everything here depends on them.
So, many of us took part in the bounty companies of the UnitedCrowd project, which is registered in Germany. From the outset, they announced that the reward pool is 12.5 million of their UCT tokens, which is € 250,000, meaning that their token is supposedly valued at $ 0.02. Moreover, the payment will be made to the participants' ether wallets without any KYC checks and other restrictions.

Now, after the end of the bounty on March 31st, they broke their promises. They offer to register on their website and go through KYC there with the provision of their identification documents and selfies with them, the payment of tokens will be made to the personal accounts of the participants on the site and they will be frozen for three months. However, most importantly, due to the fact that their token has grown in price to $ 0.3, they decided not to pay out the number of tokens that is already indicated in the table and want to reduce them by about 20 times.

This is outright deception on the part of the development team. In this regard, some bounty hunters propose to go to the German courts with a lawsuit against UnitedCrowd in connection with the team's unilateral violation of the essential terms of the contract with the participants of the bounty campaigns. Yes, there may not yet be any judicial precedents for this category of cases, but the case looks quite promising due to the obviousness of such violations.

because everything has been planned well by those who want to intend to cheat.
of the many bounty hunters have been given confidence by following their path, from there there must be what percentage will become victims and so on until they are completely satisfied with their results..
so for the con artists, suffer you after getting what you want..

Indeed! no matter how good or bad the rule is, it will never determine if the bounty can be paid.  Even joining the trusted Bounty Manager never assure us of the payment being delivered at the end of the altcoin bounty campaign.


The thing is even bounty managers are being scammed by some of the projects.  So even with the due diligence and thorough research there is still a 50/50 chance that bounty campaign owner won't pay their bounty participants.

Rules don't determine how good a project is so this one is not really something I would prioritize.

Certain bounty managers have a certain class of altcoin projects they take part in and I use this too, tbh it's all about due diligence and knowing if a bounty is worth your time! You can't finger point!

Most of the bounty hunters do not read the rules of the game, sometimes they only see the number of bounty participants and bounty managers, and in the end they complain about the energy and time that has been wasted.

Campaign thread quality is one thing, but most don't even check the project before applying, many have no idea at all what they're shilling across social networks. Countless "great project with perfect that will change crypto community" like posts as if they're copy pasted, that's what really pisses me off.

It didn't only happen to this bounty thread in which it is fake, but also other bounty campaigns.
Let's see, For those who clearly look fake or just for fun, they don't pay attention at all and just apply it, without reading and also without wanting to look again. What about bounties that are actually created by scammers, and have really good thread quality? Surely they will be very super gullible. 

If a bounty hunter keeps on joining bounties without even reading or making an analysis on the project just for the reason to make funds, he will have to face lot of scam projects in the future probably.
There is no wrong if we are eager enough to maintain a good income through bounty projects but we should also be more careful in choosing those legit projects so as not to help scammers succeed in their own wrongful way.

Yeah, the price was major reason for me deciding not to join this time. I may regret it later, who knows

This is why I don't trust bounties that aren't managed by a reputable manager. Escrow isn't possible due to your mentioned reason, especially when ICOs still starting like the value of the token is still about to be given.
Many bounty hunters especially newbie ranks just don't care about the project at all but they continue to whine that they've been scammed while they just go straight up and do an application immediately.
I sense that most of those are even account farmers.

As for the token value yes you're right, but on getting paid... Either choose the right bounty manager, or go for an established project, as you are in now. I think I participated in initial Phore campaign few years ago, when they were just starting it.

Explain to me what is being greedy on working to get paid?  Ignorant, unattentive, naive, yes but greediness? It seems your understanding about greediness is distorted.


You'll never know until you are paid or not or the token gets a high value or worthless.  Many bounty hunters had experience to join a single bounty which last a month or two campaign that paid more than a year of payment of your participation in your current signature campaign. So you'll never understand until you experience it yourself.

No question about it, greed makes them pay as they've forgot about dealing with deeper analysis.
Most of those victims just simply participate in hope to gain quick profits out from alluring offer of scam developers.
Big waste of time, even you didn'  pay or invest your money but the time and effort that was wasted is also important.
The first thing that they should do before starting their participation, the chance of joining the right project is in your hands.
