I think you have many basis and known personel on where you can join bounties, like needmoney etc,. Well,This is a additional factor on finding a good campaign since if they try to hold and support a scam project, their reputation and name will be destroy, also the career as a bounty manager can be affected.
There are DT Members, they are here to help us and observe some bounty managers. If ever they support a scamand fake project just for money, and it is proven, red trust will be their punishment.
Regarding to those people who supports scam projects, THERE ARE SO MANY. Well, specially Tokensuite.io this is a recent issue, we make a lively thread in scam accusation about a specific project before their private sale, we have many proofs and statements we show through our observation on that project but still the bounty campaign is ongoing. They stopped in when the whole world knows that this specific project scam is proven. It's too late, their research team is very slow. Well, it might be about the money that's why they still hold it on or other reason, who knows?

Did you try reading this? I SALUTE TO ALL PEOPLE WHO READ THIS WHITEPAPER BEFORE JOINING THE BOUNTY. This is an important factor specially if you're an investor, you should know how does things works and why did they conducted an ICO, objective of their platform, and also the ROADMAP.
This is where you can see if this is alegitimate project and this case, you can know if the project is POSSIBLE or can be done. Yes, ask yourself first if it's possible before joining. Google is there if you need to know about some things and research about this, if this project can be POSIBLE and don't forget that you're a member of this forum, you can ask and open a discussion about this.

Are you wondering why ToS is included? Sometimes it is the easiest way to know if the project is fake or scam. Some fake projects have a dumb developer team just copying the ToS of others , although there are chances that it can have a same ToS but not the same usage of words right? you will be surprised, different projects but having a same mind even the count of letters are also the same with others. There are thousands of words and you think it happens incidentally? Same? IMPOSSIBLE.

This is an important factor that you need to know, check those persons if they are legit. In the end, it might be a fake personality and fake person.
LinkedIn account? Don't trust this, try to chat them in telegram group and ask a little bit of information about them. Don't trust the online information, sometimes it's fake. Try checking the Social Media accounts where you see those faces, always rememberLEGITIMACY is VERY IMPORTANT. If they are dedicated and want to have a successful project, show their faces. That is not wrong, it can also help them to build the trust and have an assurance between the devs and the supporter.

DONT TRUST SOME RATING SITES.
Start of the project you can see a 4.5 out of 5 ratings . Amazing right? A pop-up project from nowhere have an instant good ratings? Too desperate to earn money. Sometimes are you wondering why they get a good ratings? Does the project is cool enough? unique? at that time you can know if your money, time and effort will be wasted. Sometimes there are no info, agreements between company and other important papers are not stated in the website but still having a good rating eh? Fakkkeeee

This is the most important factor you should ask to those investors before investing something. You are trying to invest to their project, then you should know also the uses and advatanges of that project. This is the fishy scene, sometimes they prioritize the private sale before releasing a good and legit demo. Fake demos everywhere.... fake tutorials..... everyone can do that. Showing facts and informations that is not true in a screen can fool us, be aware of that.
If Got Talent have magicians well developers have baby magicians too.

Well, crypto related debit card project but the demo is shit, everyone can do that thing specially the text message, this demo can't satisfy me. SUPER FAKE.
Too good to be true.
