Hi! I decided to say this out because it's really terrible. I recently joined bounty and upon checking the spreadsheet, I discovered my Telegram's username has been used by some one here in this forum. This isn't the first time I had experienced it. I must have lost a lot in in projects I have joined due to this evil.

I still have the bitcointalk username of the impersonator. Do you think I should make it known to everyone here by posting the username?

There are many scammers that do this kind of things, the participate in bounty campaigns with your credentials and with their ETH address.
The big problem is that you can't do anything to stop them. It's up to the bounty managers to have a scam list of ETH addresses, that's pretty much it.

I meet this very recently, very often, especially the Telegram campaign! I realized that the main thing at first is to fill out the form, and then add to the channel, otherwise the criminal may have the opportunity to fill out the form first and use your Telegram!

In my opinion you should contact with campaign manager before coming here and posting about your concerns. The only responsible person who can solve problem is campaign manager and i am sure he/she will help you gladly if you can prove account ownership.

Ya, this is a bad thing because maybe bounty manager think that your alt-account join in same bounty, and you you can get red trust, I also found my telegram username being used by others and i immediately told the bounty manager that wasn't me. Dont worry, after you tell bounty manger, that account will banned from champaign

The first thing you have to do is to make sure you`ll get the tokens, so put your wallet address at location section in the Bitcointalk profile in order to prove that you are the real person. Then report the cheater to the bounty manager and to a forum admin so he can be banned from forum and bounty.

Someone needs to come up to solve this exploit. Someone had a good suggestion, using the location field in your profile for your Ethereum address. But I think there could be a solution that doesn't rely on BitcoinTalk.

That is awful,most of the people here are starting to get annoying because they are cheating just to get a lot of money from these campaigns,shouldnt be like this because the forum is being flooded by the shitposters who just want to earn money for their food.Report these people to the moderator and your bounty manager just to be sure that there wont be conflicts with you.

Never heard about that weird stuff really. How can they use your Telegram account name? Do you mean they've stolen your TG account or what?

At first I did not understand how this could be, but then it dawned upon me. The fraudster has a lot of account telegrams, but only one account on the forum. Therefore, he uses other people's names and links for the forum, so wallets and telegrams substitutes his own.

Oh, dude. Scammers are even more than I thought before.

There will always be people whom will do everything to take advantage any situation so they can get a lot of money by using other's people.What you can do is to report these people to the bounty manager of the campaign you are joining so there wont be any problem regarding your identity or you can also report this to the mdoerator but make sure that you have proofs,screenshots.

Thanks guys for the responses. The BM has finally responded to me. Things would be rectified and I am all good now. As for the impersonator, I will post his bitcointalk username name here.

Report it to bounty manager mate, make sure the manager banned that ethereum address used there. It happend alot here, many cheater and bounty abuser at this forum, and that makes us who work hard and honest suffered. Cheater from multi account, stealing other people username and many more. So next time you found your username use to participate in bounty campaign but its not by you, just report it to the manager by PMs or write at the bounty thread.

Who will he report to bounty manager? Himself?
OP said someone used his username for bounty, he can't really report no one, bounty manager can only remove his username from spreadsheet but as he is probably not wearing signature of particular bounty he will be removed anyway.

The op only said that thier telegram user name use for the bounty not bitcointalk profile . I think it's better if the OP add atleast the username of that person so we can have an idea who is that person. That account should be tagged for cheating and using other persons telegram acct.

This should immediately report bounty to the manager of the company, as well as to immediately inform the administration of the forum, in order to remove this person, or rather delete his account, so that he does not do this any more

I think you are not quite right if you put it on this thread, maybe you can write your outpouring and complaint to reputation forum, or send personal message to the project manager concerned

Report to the bounty manager, Do not let that cheater receive the rewards that should be yours. If you just let it go, it can repeat it again and do something else to deceive the other person. And it is only right to say his name if you have really strong evidence proving his cheating. To give him punishment, and not happen again his work.

You can report that person to your bounty manager,these people shouldnt be given a chance to earn money in bitcointalk.A lot of cheaters are here in BCT and we should be aware of posibilities that our accounts might be used already before we join to these campaigns,there will be some people who are taking advantage with the system's hole.

Is this someone used your Wallet as well, if yes it is a good news, joke aside, you should report it to the bounty manager, he will help

it is necessary to discontinue actions that are very detrimental to others, because this will make bad and bad precedent for those who have, this action is definitely no purpose for the benefit of self, just like doing this like get immediate action and should not be repeated because it will make a lot of followers if there is no action.
exactly once it should be informed to the admin for action.
hopefully no action like this in time, to be able to work honestly is a necessity.

Someone using your telegram username means they will provide their own wallet address in the spreadsheet, so duplicate username will exist. Once the auditing is done by bounty manager if he found duplicates may be he will ban you instead of a scammer. So keep monitoring the spreadsheet daily just to avoid being scammed. Since someone scammed you just inform bounty manager he will resolve the issue. It is better if you could mention your wallet address in your profile just to know the actual owner of the account, of course, the scammer won't use your wallet address because you are holding private key of your wallet and only you will be having access for it. Wink

There are some people out there who don't want to work honestly and hard, and only want to cheat and scam others we can't avoid scammers somehow.

Unfortunately, such situations occur often. I consider it necessary to expose all these intruders!!
Recently I encountered the same problem, it's really awful to prove that you are you. Sad
