Scams will never go away since scammers will always exploit things that is exploitable and cheat people of their money.
Topic: The bounty scam will gradually go away - page 20. (Read 47969 times)
Bounty scams will not just go away easily as long as many bounty hunters are willing to advertise any projects without caring to make any research about it.Hunters usually help scam projects to achieve their aims so it is very important as a bounty hunter to make research before promoting any scam project.
Sad but the truth is bounty scam is a common thing. But those bounties which pay in BTC and managed by reputed managers are legit. Also if managers are not legit or if managers don't escrow the fund then can be a scam too.
Unfortunately, this is difficult to stop. Scammers were always and everywhere, they know how to masterfully adapt to any changes, because this is their bread, this is also their job - scam. Therefore, they will invent more and more new ways to deceive hunters. And of course, the hunters themselves often agree to be deceived in the pursuit of any kind of earnings.
The thing we should check at is not the bounty scam by the bounty hunters but the bounty scam by the people who suppose to give the bounty, these are the same people who promised a lot of money to people in exchange of something and they didn't pay up when those people ended up actually doing what was promised.
Long story short if there is a bounty reward that was promised but wasn't delivered, I highly doubt that it could ever be something alright, we have to fix that eventually and if we can do that, it would actually improve the bounty world as well. If you are a person who gives out btc or usdt and actually do end up paying, you can vet the applicants as hard as you want, you can get all the audits as you want because at that point you are ahead of many many bounty rewards.

I think platform twiter with audit user could not stop project false , many project that of deception not only for failing to on his way , let alone i saw there is a fraud bring escape kyc and they also use twiter still tipped fraud
To stop these bounty scams literally bounty funds should be escrowed by higly reputable escrow regardless if it is coin or token.
We really can’t get away with these scams if we only rely on promises, sometimes even good bounty managers are being scammed too with existing bounty promise system. If projects are really serious with their business, paying advertisers on time should be their priority too.

I recently read about BRO bounty companies and in general I liked the essence. The same ICO campaigns are conducted on a specific platform, where there is a special Supervisory Board that will select projects so that they are functionally useful and, among other things, have no signs of fraud. Of course, we are unlikely to ever get rid of fraud, but it is necessary to put things in order in this activity.
I think there will be many more new projects and the bounty hunters on this forum will still have a lot of work to do.

Just recently we are beginning to have some Twitter campaign giving hunters reward in btc in the service section. This is one sure way to take off this muster that seem like a cancer called bounty scam.
I'm believing that gradually, will may start seeing the inclusion of other social media signatures like Facebook, LinkedIn, medium, article, videos, blogs and many more, coming up in both bounty section and service. I'm sure that hunters will prefer social media signature than the scam going on in the board.
I guess one reason that we are seeing that Twitter campaign is because of the audit which takes care of non real followers of an account. So if your Twitter account isn't made of real followers, you stand no chance of being selected. The audit is surely to check out accounts with fake followers and that is also good to stop scamming.
You are totally wrong, even if a bounty project promised to pay bounty hunters in Bitcoin, Ethereum or stable coins this is still nothing but empty promises which can fail after the campaign is finally over, scammers can decide to create projects and just pretend to pay hunters with popular coins I'm believing that gradually, will may start seeing the inclusion of other social media signatures like Facebook, LinkedIn, medium, article, videos, blogs and many more, coming up in both bounty section and service.

Basically bounty scam can't be away from this space because of managers who can't negotiate with their clients while accepting project team proposal. They accept payment in Bitcoin but would accept participants payment in their shitcoins knowing fully well that they are scammers. Scam projects doesn't take much stress to know but with the payment from project team to some bounty managers they tend to look away from reality. Bounty scam will live with bounty hunters as long Bounty managers don't care about bounty participants.
I hope it does.
If it ain't scam, they won't even bother to pay the right amount.
Or, the value of token is just trash.
Better if everything will be paid in the manner of coins which could already be sold.
They could even help with the circulation of the market.

Isn't it suspicious if it is shared in the service section, which should be in the altcoin bounties section because all bounties whether it's signatures or other social media are always there. It needs to be researched again, who knows if it is a new scheme to attract the interest of the bounty hunter, who has recently been seriously injured. but in my opinion, it's better to stay like the previous one, it's just that we choose a bounty with a more trusted bounty manager, for example a bounty detective.
Bounty hunters will continue to hunt for profitable projects for them, but the big problem is that bounty hunters are always victims of fraud, because there are so many scam projects that make bounty hunters disappointed. Now the bounty hunter is a little relieved, because there are social media campaigns that pay participants using Bitcoin. Although the results obtained were not many, but they will feel happy when they receive a payment.
I don't see how this will get rid of scam project, we have lots of btc paying signature campaigns and yet there are so much scam project around, so an inclusion of social media in btc paying campaign will not reduce anything, besides not all project will hold a btc paying campaign.
Lol, when it's going away you think? There wouldn't be bounty advertising if that wasn't being effective and cheap way to advertise. Just because some people dislike ads, it doesn't kill the whole advertising game. There is a way though, you can literally filter your own feed and stop following obvious paid shill accounts in twitter or facebook or in youtube.
If most of the bounty programs start paying in bitcoin/ether then yeah the scamming is about to stop.
Yes there are bitcoin paying twitter campaigns coming up but that doesn't mean all the bounty programs will start paying in bitcoin.
The bounty hunters will have to unite here and stop joining the bounty programs that pay in shit tokens.
If everyone stops joining token paying bounty programs then the project team will have no other option.
They will either have to stop their project or will have to pay the hunters in bitcoin/ether.
But as we all know it's highly unlikely to happen because there are people who will just join any bounty program without even looking for the project potential.

Knowledge is power and awareness gives direction. This is the purpose. It will gradually stop for some people and continue with others who want to take risk of trying obvious scam project because they see bounty as a source of living. The advise is to research and avoid it when not sure.
I am not sure who are talking about those. Are you talking about people scamming bounty hosts by using accounts with fake followers to complete tasks?
Developers or team who want their project to be seen

I don't think it's new, a social media campaign with bitcoin payments. And they are also not a guarantee that they will not trick bounty hunters unless they have escrowed. Fraud should have been avoided if the bounty manager dared to refuse a project that wanted to hold a bounty but they did not escrow funds or tokens before the bounty began. And also I think that fraud will not be easily lost, maybe the bounty campaign will slowly disappear because of the increasing number of fraudulent campaigns and participants who cheat and plagiarism.
I personally dont like bounty system like referral link because all this lead to spam and spam lead to scam, some do it because they really need the money and others because they want to take advantage of the opportunity.

I don't think the bounty scam will go away because, as far as I know, the scam will always there on the crypto market. When the new trend comes, many scammers will be ready to scam people, especially new people who don't have much information about crypto. It is hard to say that the bounty scam will leave us because when money is involved, people will chase it, and they will not check the project's truth. So always be careful when you want to invest or join in the bounty program.
