Of the many bounty hunters, surely they will get scams at a time. Even from bounty projects they follow. I've also gotten scams,
even many times. Good from gift projects, even when I invest in fake projects. also invest in shitcoin. But this all makes for lessons
and experience, so I'm more mature in this crypto industry.
Topic: See why most bounty hunters get scammed - page 9. (Read 1648 times)
Been joining a lot of campaigns before I quit, I manage to land some decent campaigns and I can say that somehow it always lands on the luck. Trust me I'm reading everything before joining one, still I've been scammed. Though most of them still give coins as a salary however, they still end up shit coins or no value at all. Now I'm starting over hoping to land some decent ones.
The fact that the coins are crappy means that the project is crappy, and most often this can be determined by reading the white paper or looking at the team or studying the technical component of the project or by some other factors that require a more detailed deepening of the project. Unfortunately, most people do not do this, I only read the conditions that either suit them or do not suit them, and then they just do the work and wait, I complain afterwards that they once again received shit coins and wasted their time.

Maybe if it was not posted on April who knows even you will fall for it
, Lol because it was an April fool's day should be a good reason they should be careful. Being careful helps to avoid certain things that being in rush can't stop you from falling into.
Which should be common from those who really reads and check, but if you are just riding into something without even knowing if it's true or not then you will fall.
The fact that it's April fool's and creating such kind of funny stuff are unavoidable. It's up to your good acknowledgements and really
paying attentions to every available thread or bounty that being created, seems funny but aside from those bots there's also real
people who fall from this joke.
Using up your own common sense would really be just enough to determine which one is scam and which one is realistic.It is just sometimes
desperation for earning big is the main reason why people do really end up on joining carelessly.
You said it right! They've got blind after seeing the amount of possible profits if they'll get accepted, unknowingly that it's just a joke
and it's too good to be true,.
Desperations and not to mind reading the full information, failing to read completely and just to look with the
potential benefits leads them to look funny.
Best to keep your eye open wide to avoid this to happen to you.
Bounty Hunters Don't Read
It's the main problem on every bounty campaign today, Not only on bitcointalk you also can see on some Telegram chat, Example "Asking about bounty is restricted on main telegram chat" But some retarded bounty hunters continue to ask and then they are banned after that they will ask on the bounty group when basically there was an statement on the first place, Beside they won't read pinned message and keep asking the same question. This also happens on that April Fools Thread, I almost joining too but luckily i'm always read carefully before joining bounty campaign even though sometime didn't understand the rules or anything, Well the main problem is they won't read beside that i suppose it's just another bot or multi account, Imagine if all bounty hunters can atleast read, This forum will become better place for everyone. 
I'm not surprised, many bounty hunters don't even read, they join any bounty campaign they can find and hope for good rewards, this is how scammers take advantage of bounty hunters, they help them promote their scam projects easily
True. On April 1, CryptopreneurBrainboss made a bounty topic with funny conditions and rules. He used “super huge bounty budget” trick and in few hours thread already had like 10 pages of PoA. If only they would click on any link in bounty token, they would be redirected to April 1 wiki page and understand they are fooled. But almost not a single hunter did that.
It proves that most of the bounty hunters don't peruse the rules and information provided in the thread.
I hope it gives a shared experience, for us to be more thorough.
Yes its true.
Most of the hunter works in rush thats why they don’t read the thread correctly. As a result they miss some points which cause them their stakes in the spreadsheet.
Its wise to read the thread correctly. And analyze the Informations given on the thread. So that one don’t get fooled by scammers or a prank

It cannot be avoided, there will always be those newbies and even those who have been here for so long already who ends up getting scammed just because they are too lazy to ensure that the campaign they are joining is a legit one. I've been into many bounty campaigns before the bull run of 2017 and I managed to go into different successful campaigns, although not all but still it helped me a lot in gaining profit and increasing my holding in bitcoin during that time. It wouldn't hurt even a bit to read and research about the campaign you are joining, see if the campaign manager has a reputation already or just a new one, maybe you can use it and take a look at his past campaigns to confirm if they are really trustworthy.

It's alarming that a lot of newbies applied in this bounty campaign without researching or even without reading the whole campaign. Just a few minutes a lot of newbies try to apply for the campaign. OP is right, we shouldn't get surprise if a lot of people even here in the forum got scammed. It's bounty hunters fault.
And I think that is also a very natural thing to happen because they are newbies who also have little experience and also still have little knowledge in researching and analyzing a campaign project so that they immediately make the decision to join an existing campaign without looking more fully about the campaign.

That's why they have no clue what they were making so many complaints when they were getting scammed by the scam bounty. As far as i know those bots will create so many complaints when they know if the campaign became the scam campaign. They didn't even realize their fault. that's proven so many hunters were joining in the campaign based on quantity. They will never care about quality. Scam campaign got free promotion from them.

Bounty is more of a newbie thing, those without rank and are constantly sourcing for money in any opportunity that opens up to them and accepts participants from there rank. This in itself causes a rush, a rush for slot as it is hoped that, you getmore chances should you be an early applicant.
This explains why there is always a rush in applications before reading the post itself as evident in the April fool bounty post by CryptopreneurBrainboss. Lol, its really funny how many pages of applications that dropped in and some more would have still come through should the thread not have been locked. Lol

I've seen many of them still reporting even if there's a scam report already and even if they are warned we have scammers and we have irresponsible bounty hunters and their only goal is to make money and promote as many bounty campaigns that they can, this thread reflects the character and ways of bounty hunters.
Like you rightly asked in that prank thread whether OP would've succeeded if it were a BTC paying campaign thread. Certainly, the answer is an obvious NO! The prank would've been dug out within 3—5 posts after the OP. It goes to show the so many spam posts that come from the altcoins discussion board.
***** Just imagine application kept coming in, in an April Fool's Thread.
Are these applications from bots...
I seriously doubt that. There are users who applied and are Hero members. Now, a lot of them are deleting their applications in shame. Brainboss shouldn't have locked the thread, at least to still keep us entertainment with laughs 🤓🤓 Are these applications from bots...
Lol yeah, that thread was one of a kind by CryptopreneurBrainboss, he even did like this last year but in the form of BTC signature campaign and then inside the thread, it said "April Fool". Yeah, it's true that bounty hunters get scammed due to not looking out for the details and simply believing that the company will pay them. I too had the same experience with Amepay but their payouts were not that big when the price was so low. They promised weekly payments, then it became monthly just because Eth fees were high and still, they are giving excuses like staking reward distribution remaining, once completed, they'll pay us. Seems like bounty hunters worked for them for free.
