I was scammed by them when I was low ranking and still participating in bounties. I hadn't been active in the forum in a while and joined whatever was available. I don’t think they’ve ever paid out for any campaign they managed. Every token they’ve ever represented looks shady as hell and dies in a few months.

Please tell us how we scammed you! If possible attach a proof.

We have managed a lot of bounty campaigns that have paid participants. Some of them are BikPot, Ashib, Spume, DafriBank, PlayTreks, PayRue, XcelPay, Hovr, Pawsome, Qidex, Qie, Brice, all of these paid participants! Why are you lying bro?

Show your evidence that we scammed you.
You gave the evidence yourself and then you were also caught in lie by holydarkness. You are the type of manager who takes any project that contacts you and worry about your pocket before anyone else.

I'm curious to read the negotiations for the project. Where you are talking money for you and your team and where you are talking about money for the participants. $1000 a week as well?Huh? I don't even charge that amount!!

Yes, I'm an asshole
This is a very bad mistake my brother!

1. Shine scan bounty campaign was not escrowed.
2. We agreed payment in SSC token and not USDT.
3. After the bounty was over, the project owner said they can't pay in token anymore, so they wanted to pay in USDT but they paid only $1100 and not $8000. Our bounty management fee is $1000, and Shine scan never paid our fee, so we used the amount received as our fee! And we can't distribute $100 USDT to more than 300 participants.
4. UNTIL NOW, still Shine scan never paid the remained amount!

I wonder why you gave us a red flag? The project owner he is the one who never paid the bounty pool as we agreed, he paid only $1100 and our fee is $1000, so it's like he paid only $100. We even allowed our participants to ask directly in the SSC community about the reward pool.

This is a mistake, we are not scam.

Ahh well, can of worm and all. This is a very bad mistake indeed, because you make me take a peek into what happened.

First, payment not escrowed. Yes, it's not stated on the bounty thread and on you also confirm that it's not escrowed on your bounty group. But...



So it's been a lie, then? From the beginning of the campaign? The half amount of the reward already being escrowed? Why? You can have it stopped right there and then by your first week... of which, if I understand correctly, was actually the second or third ongoing week, but re-set into first week because the campaign was restarted due to some issue, and the previous week was voided.

Second, your fee, 1,000 USD for a 5 week 8,000 USD budget project? Pure curiosity, this is the ongoing rate for a bounty manager?

Third, why can't you distribute 100 USD to 300 participants? Because you're worried that they'll get cents? It happened before, I mean, this spreadsheet shows that you paid participants in cents,



And not to mention your unilateral decision to trade the amount you received and was supposed to be paid to users with a shit coin of your choosing, of which further decrease the already limited amount you had.

A mistake indeed.

The spreadsheet for the Maximus signature bounty says that I am owed 48.96 USDT worth of tokens.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bRu0VBLRGSZO8Nsa9S78_n3mysPVnZForbVVBIPy2uo/

The address I used for the campaign was 0x079bFF0b1AA5b70F6f4e41C2544EBC76BdE29bd1.
https://ninjastic.space/post/60957378

This address has never received any MXZ or USDT payment.
https://bscscan.com/address/0x079bff0b1aa5b70f6f4e41c2544ebc76bde29bd1#tokentxns

The campaigns you have mentioned are for the most obscure tokens ever, which nobody has ever heard of. The ones that are even listed on CoinMarketCap you have to navigate through more than 50 pages before you find them and they have gone down nearly 100% in value. It seems only scam projects are willing to work with you.

You say that you are paying participants but I have only seen one scam accusation after another here on Bitcointalk and Telegram. Here is another thread where you were previously accused of scamming by somebody whose project also turned out to be a scam.

According to albon you made an agreement with developer on Telegram to pay the bounty in USDT.  I have not seen those messages, but I suspect others have and can provide proof.
Yes, that's correct. You can check [this] and [this], and as for the escrowed funds with him, you can see [this]. I honestly forgot about this issue a long time ago. Thank you for mentioning my account. It's clear that this scammer BM has been thinking for more than a month about writing these lies, which I have already addressed and exposed in my archived links and in my conversation with him, which I have shared [here].

Here is a screenshot in case he hasn’t time to check the two-minute-long recorded conversation video. > Talkimg

Surely he had not been coming to the forum for a while and coming now planning to manage some bounties has seen the reputation.
Perhaps the escrowed funds he stole from innocent hunters have run out after this period, and he wants to continue his activities with Green Trust, hoping to fill his pockets with more money that he will get out of thin air... LOL.

Even assuming what you say is true you'd have to be pretty dumb to think that what you say here is going to make us think you're not a fucking scammer.

I don't know what this is about now anyway. Surely he had not been coming to the forum for a while and coming now planning to manage some bounties has seen the reputation.

This is a very bad mistake my brother!

You're contradicting yourself.

1. Shine scan bounty campaign was not escrowed.

Then why did you get the 1100 USDT upfront?


2. We agreed payment in SSC token and not USDT.

According to albon you made an agreement with developer on Telegram to pay the bounty in USDT.  I have not seen those messages, but I suspect others have and can provide proof.

Through old messages in the FOX Campaigns group, he received USDT from the project team because the project's currency was facing liquidity issues, and the price of $SSC was very low at that time. So, the BM reached an agreement with the project team to pay the hunters in USDT. It is worth noting that they changed the old project links and everything to Shine Chain


3. After the bounty was over, the project owner said they can't pay in token anymore, so they wanted to pay in USDT but they paid only $1100 and not $8000. Our bounty management fee is $1000, and Shine scan never paid our fee, so we used the amount received as our fee! And we can't distribute $100 USDT to more than 300 participants.

If the 1100 USDT wasn't bounty escrow and it wasn't intended to pay for your bounty fee, what the hell was it for?  This makes me think that albon's reporting is accurate; an agreement was made to pay in USDT, and you're lying.


4. UNTIL NOW, still Shine scan never paid the remained amount!

Well, that may be.  It seems like you took it upon yourself to pay yourself, while leaving the bounty hunters out to dry.

What happened:: I have received numerous complaints about Fox Campaigns, the bounty manager who managed the 5-week Shinescan Coin bounty. The USDT, which this bounty manager escrowed from the project team, was supposed to be distributed to the participants one/two weeks after the campaign ended, which was after October 14th.

I have already contacted this bounty manager on Telegram, whose username is @Riad_FoxTeam, and he is the leader of the group @foxcampaigns. He informed me that he lost the total amount of 1100 USDT during trading. According to him, he bought Aevo tokens at $3 each, and the token lost 80% of its value, leading to the loss of the funds that were supposed to be distributed to the bounty hunters. I asked him why he did this, as he was supposed to distribute the USDT to the participants without risking it in trading. He said that he and his friend believed they could double the amount. He told me that he would recover the lost amount when the bull run approached soon. I told him that it’s not the participants’ fault to bear the consequences of his recklessness and control over their funds, but he has now stopped responding. I will include the BM chat and the TX hash below.

Bounty Manager Profile Link: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/fox-campaigns-3503908  | FLAG

Reference Link: [🦊BOUNTY🦊] Shinescan Coin - $8,000 in SSC Coins

Amount Scammed: 1100 USDT [This is what was mentioned in his groups HERE + HERE + HERE (It is worth noting that the project he promoted seems to have closed all its accounts, and even their official website is no longer operational, so I cannot now contact the project team to confirm if he received only this amount or if they sent him the full amount).

Proof of Payment:

PM/Chat Logs: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QWSeLkNXONlhhLzL_9xww6StTHvN5Uy9/view?usp=sharing

Additional information: I don’t believe he can recover the escrowed funds lost during trading due to his ignorance. Months have passed, and when participants asked him about the distribution date, he said 'soon.' He has also restricted posting in his official Telegram group to prevent participants from claiming their rights.

Oh!

That is not good Mr @Riad_FoxTeam. I did not know that this guy and Foxcampaigns are the same people on the forum. I admit that I and Riad worked on a cryptocurrency project in the same team where he was working for a long time and I worked for two months maybe. But then the project owner stopped responding and did not pay the salaries. So, I left their project but I remember that sometimes I had a chat with him on Discord.

I just came to know that Riad FoxTeam is Fox Campaigns on the forum. Glad to know that I did not make any transactions with this guy during those two months. Flag supported.

It's astounding that in this day and age the shitcoin bounties are still that popular.  I don't venture into those parts of the forum either, and I too was surprised by the number of participants.  I guess there will always be newbies with get-rich-quick dreams, and also scammers to take advantage of them.

I won't derail this thread any further with comments on the state of bounties except to say that I had thought they were long dead, seeing as the ICO boom went bust years ago--but I've had signatures and avatars on ignore for as long as I can remember, so I haven't exactly been noticing who's been advertising what.  Looking at this Shinescan bounty, I'm actually glad it doesn't incentivize its participants to make posts on the forum as so many other bounties have done.

They can spam Youtube, telegram, and Twitter until the servers melt down for all I care, as long as they don't have to drop endless shitposts on bitcointalk.  Hopefully that's the structure of whatever bounties remain.

What happened:: I have received numerous complaints about Fox Campaigns

Not that it really matters much since this a throw away account, but I would encourage one of the bounty participants to submit a type 2 flag.

Obviously the copper membership fee is marginal compared to what he scammed, so it's not likely to mean much in the long run.

Wow, just look at all those applicants with tons of posts and no merits whatsoever.  I'd been wondering if bounties were still a thing here (and yet was too lazy to check if the section for them still existed), so I guess that answers my question.

The way I see it we should do what is right regardless that account is a throwaway one or not, but I already see you support the flag.

Normally I'd say it's a waste of time creating a flag or even tagging a throwaway account, but in this case I agree with you.  Who knows if this one would pop up again maybe a year from now--and if it did and there wasn't a warning on it, well, that's an invitation for further shenanigans.  Feels like late 2017, doesn't it?

Edit: Tagged and flagged.  Is this guy trying to somehow get a free ride off of Foxpup's reputation by any chance?  I don't like the fox theme in his username or the fox icons he uses, and it seems suspicious.

Isn't the meaning for escrow is a reputable person who have solid financial background and trustworthy in a community? This user Fox Campaigns is a brand new copper member, I do not see he have any reputation at all. How can it be as escrow?
This is really ironic as there are many reputable BMs and trustworthy escrow service providers here.

I agree with lovesmayfamilis and YOSHIE regarding what they said about the owners of these companies. They may not have any background about the forum, the ranking system, and the trust, and their intention might be to employ these bounty managers because they accept any wages or projects, whether they are Rugs or fake projects. Ultimately, the bounty hunters are the victims, along with the investors who this harmful marketing might deceive. In addition, even if this BM is distributed to the participants, I strongly believe that he will manipulate the spreadsheets and hunters' stakes, introducing multiple accounts to cheat in the campaigns.

The group can be reported to telegram. If enough people report it, it should get taken down
This is a good idea. Even if these affected bounty hunters leave the group and refrain from working on future bounties he manage, the group owner will be left alone with the fake accounts that joined the group.

I wish bounty hunters would get smart and not join certain managers campaigns, but unfortunately bounties require little effort and people take the risk.
This user in question should have already received payment it run the campaign before starting the thread, the participants will not have been able to prevent this, as someone with dubious intention would keep the payment regardless. I'm not buying the trading story, looks like a ploy to buy some time and clean up their tracks to make a proper exit.

The BM @Fox Campaigns stole the escrowed bounty funds.
@Fox Campaigns manager, dreamed too high, by using campaign funds to spin in trading, it was a fatal mistake for him, he hoped that the funds he used could double, Unfortunately for him he lost a number of funds that should have been distributed to participants, this will add to the list of greedy and lying campaigns.

The words 'immediately' are a long process, I'm sure the @Fox manager will run away from this problem and the Shinescan Coin campaign bears the risk of @Fox's actions. That's a bad situation for participants. The funds should already be there and waiting to be distributed, In fact, it is exploited by irresponsible individuals.

That's the company's mistake, they sometimes look for managers who are cheap and poor paid, many projects don't want to employ trusted and responsible managers because the pay is high, The choice of a cheap manager is a disaster for campaign participants, a mistake that is often made by many projects, what would it be like to say that the rice has turned into porridge.

A manager with a newbie account, even a Copper Member, will he value his account? What will adding a flag or a negative trust give him?

The way I see it we should do what is right regardless that account is a throwaway one or not, but I already see you support the flag.

A neg tag is appropriate so that person isn't hired again, but you're right it won't matter to him as he will just make a new account and do the same thing to some unsuspecting company.

I wish bounty hunters would get smart and not join certain managers campaigns, but unfortunately bounties require little effort and people take the risk.

I think you are right on this. It will probably happen again, but that does not mean that we should stop doing what we should.

A manager with a newbie account, even a Copper Member, will he value his account? What will adding a flag or a negative trust give him? A person with dirty intentions to benefit from money that does not belong to him is already falling flat on his face. I will even say more that the one who trusted him with these unfortunate 1100 USDT simply threw money down the drain because they did not look closely at people with a good reputation when hiring them as a manager; that is, they also wanted to save money. Well, they got what they deserved. I'm sure that in the case of the growth of those coins that were allegedly bought with the deposited money, the bounty hunters would not have received anything since the fraudulent manager is too greedy.
But no matter what we write here, bounty hunters repeat their mistakes regularly, trusting it is not clear who to lead the bounty; they are not very picky and are ready to "work" for pennies that in the end they will also not see. History is as old as the world; life teaches these people nothing.
