I see there are several projects that have been flagged by the community as clearly scams. For example, some used fake team members. However, I still see some who do bounty works or apply for airdrops. I think it partly comes from not knowing that it’s a scam. I am pretty sure I signed up for some scam airdrops through telegram groups without knowing it was a scam. Some might be just internal scammers doing it to make it look legit as well. What are your thoughts?

Well it's very hard to know if a project is a scam or not. Also, some project are not scams but will still fail, because they were to ambitious, or their marketing wasn't effective, or simply because other projects were better then them. These projects will also fail, and some people will even call them scams, although they weren't.

As for your question, when a project completely "smells" like a scam (like a ponzi scheme for example) I will simply not do bounties for them, and most users in the community won't do it either, because this would make them scammers as well, and earn them negative trust. What kind of scam projects have you seen in this forum, that were supported by it's users?

Because they're some people who is not know how to read and analyze things. They're just blindly join bounty with high payment rewards thats why they are getting scammed(not getting pay for the work) it is usually happening to the shitposters out there. So guys better read and analyze things first before doing a thing.

It is only when people do not know that the project is scam that they will continue to project such projects. I am also a victim of scam airdrops where i was asked to donate some ether and get some tokens of the coins there are trying to sell through ICO. I donated and till now i did not receive the promised tokens.

People are hopeful even in the times where they were scammed. There are projects that were bashed by users in the forum but turned out to be a good investment for some. Users shout scam to these projects like ETBS but seem to end up like a cool project that distributes airdrop and this isn't just the only project there are more like DENT. No one can really tell a project is a scam until they see the team disappear.

I have never experienced fraud. I always work on the right project and always give a profit. maybe you should be careful before starting follow project so you don't experience a scam.

if you register through ads on telegram it very difficult to find the original project. there are some that offer airdrop registration, it is just an advertisement to benefit the sender of the registration message. my advice if you want to follow the airdrop program, you candirectly view in bounty forum. there you can discuss with others about the airdrop project ..

Agreed. But some actually engage in twitter/ facebook bounty work when the community flagged it as a scam. I wonder whether they do it because they don't know it's a scam (after all, not all people check the negative trust)

There are so many project nowdays which make us confuse to choose the right one though its just bounty.
I dont think people will do bounty if they know that the project scam because they will lose their valuable time.

It is true, I also experience a scam project before and I just support the program without noticing this. If you're a newbie, tendency is you support them if you see that they had a good offer. Just one thing I learned as well is that bounties here are more safe since you can easily ask questions to others.

Some people are just not naive and gullible enough to believe in ICOs that are obviously fake. Or maybe, the scammer was just too good at scamming that they are able to hoard attention of several people. This is the reason why we need to be cautious and careful. There are several scammers in this forum and there are also several people letting themselves be scammed. Check the authenticity first before plunging in. It is better to prevent that to cure.
