Scam is a very serious drawback in crop to these days. No matter the diligent research one does. Scam is eminent in his crypro life

May I know what's the best thing to do in order avoid from being scammed?
There are many definitions of the word "scam" here, and unfortunately, no matter what you do, not all of them can be avoided... here are some things to remember though..
- Just because you haven't gotten paid yet, doesn't mean you won't be... and even if you aren't paid its not necessarily the bounty manager's fault.. they're just like you doing campaigns to get paid and sometimes no matter how perfect of a campaign they run, the person distributing the funds on the ICO's end maybe incompetent or trying to save on payouts with ridiculous excuses...
- Some things no matter how promising just won't do well.. they'll have mismanagement of money, don't know how to create hype, didn't save money for listing on exchanges, etc.
- Utility tokens in a down market have no real value.. Most of these tokens require real-world use case, so when it comes to a less speculative bear market, the price can be really wobbly, its triple-y so for new ICO projects since everyone looks for the "when binance" pnd, or dumps it a week after getting tokens because "something is better than nothing" in a bear market..
- Some are just downright scams.. 1 in 5-7 are likely gonna be a scam and there's not much you can do about it... if you are worried about scams look at the whitepaper and look at the team's LinkedIn information and other dead giveaways. Look for obvious signs like huge chunks of hard cap goal get bought by "private investors", etc. Also just pay attention to how people interact on telegram.. usually fishy people can be quite obvious if you just listen to how they speak.
-
I would recommend just not worrying too much about whether or not something is a scam. Doing as many bounties as possible will assure that you at least get something from some of them. Not all of them will pay out, and that sucks but it's ok. You can really lose a lot of money by not participating in as many bounties. There's no real way to know for sure if something is a scam or not unfortunately. Just do what works best for you though, good luck man.
-
Dont lose hope and continue participating bounties. Today some bounty tokens maybe worthless but maybe near future it can go to moon.
-
"In short, how to analyze a project if you don't want the Scam to happen below:
- Check out the team first
- Look at the concept that is offered whether it is interesting and different
- see the vision and mission of the project (always read whitepaper etc.)
- see also ICO coins based on which platform has its own platform
- If you have participated in the ICO, don't listen to the circulating FUD."
-
There are so many ways a scam may occur. Thank you all for the brief explanation, but how do we all solve this?
-
Hahha, yes dude, in this year (2018) many scams projects, airdrops, and bounties available. Not worth, just waste our time.
We need to do research first before joining on any bounty
-
Before you play the Bounty Campaign in the Project, you must first research the Project first, starting from the Team, how to Manage the project, target marketing, legal basis, and other important aspects. because now there are lots and lots of scam projects. and that troubles the Bounty players and Project Investors.
-
Before you choose a Project and Join the Bounty Campaign. First you have to examine the Project first. pay attention to the type of project, marketing targets, legal basis, team work, and don't forget to check the website. it will help you in determining a Project that is not a Scam. and you can use the Bounty campaign on the project.
-
This is the one priority in joining a bounty campaign must be scam will not allowed to join because they give problems of the members while the scammer is a big laugh what he doing .If it will be continued the times come all members will quite this kind of works.We just to do is stop the scammers.
-
May i know what's the best thing to do in order avoid from being scammed?
Choose a manager that has a reputation of paying bounties. Through this way, you are half as sure that you will be paid because there are times as well when the manager cannot do something if the team decides not to pay the participants including the bounty manager. Choose also as much as possible a bounty that has an escrow since you are sure that the coins for bounties are already reserved and it would just depend on the one handling the coins when he would issue it.
-
Before you join the Bounty campaign you must be careful and always careful in choosing a Bounty campaign and you first examine the project that you will follow. research the website, team management, the legal basis of the project, its marketing targets and other important things. so that later you will be able to make the right decision in following the Boutny campaign.
-
Many members are worried about scam projects. Yes they are right we need to research the company we want to join to avoid any disappointments on the project. There are also members who really know about how to join any legit campaign, why we don't ask them which bounties are legit. I think the higher rank member will help you in every bounty project.
-
more careful and make more attention and make investigate before investing.
-
Before investing, besure to know first what is crypto and how it works, then gather first the important info about investing on crypto. What best coin or ICO to invest, When will be the perfect time to invest, and How investing on crypto is done. Know also if the ICO is a legit or not.
-
Actually, we cannot avoid scammers in this industry especially it involves earning money. But, for bounty hunters like us, we should be more careful, cautious, and patient in selecting a bounty to reduce the risk of being scammed.
-
Don't give up, keep looking for bounty campaigns, don't just participate in 1 project, at least you have to participate in 5 bounty projects. So when 1 project was a scam, there were still 4 more projects we could hope for. :)
-
What happened to you that happened to me too. But experience teaches us to be more careful if we want to join a bounty campaign. First check the information provided, always see the activeness of its members and use your instincts.
-
All of the bounty hunters are more worried about the scams. There are members after joining any campaign and then being scammed they felt big disappointment, due to frustration the others already stop working to the forum. After joining any campaign we should double check their status and ask those who are trusted friends who have already joining any campaign.
-
Here are my tips for you:
- The theme of the company's bounty must be very well organized and contain graphic images. Poor design of the topic - bad interest in the project. If I see a bad page design, I immediately close it and do not waste time
- If the project is launched without any idea or technical description (white paper) do not pay attention to this project.
- If the project is very worthy, then in the "spreadsheet" subscription company you will see a lot of Legendary and Hero users.
- Pay attention whom the project is signed on Twitter. A good project will not use #Followback on Twitter
- If the project has collected its soft cap on pre-sale, or more, then it is worth attention.
- If the project does not have information about the team - bad sign. A strong and well-known team is 100% success of the project.
- If the project has a source code for GitHub, it is very good.
- Do not join the bounty campaign of Twitter and Facebook, if all participants are credited with the same shares, regardless of subscribers. In this case, absolutely all users will register and your reward will be very small.
- If the project has alpha version of the software, it is good.
- Bounty campaign should not be too long. If the project is strong, 1-3 months is quite enough for successful promotion. Long bounty company might give you small earnings
-
Yes this this is what happened most of the bounty hunters nowadays and its because scammers are now flooding.
-
This is what happened most of bounty hunters today because their are so many bounty project that are now flooding in the forum most especially in bitcointalk.
-
Read their whitepaper and see Project managers Linkedin profile then you will get a better idea about the project. Don't give up, keep looking for better bounty campaigns and get idea from then which campaign will be successed.
-
The Scam project is really frightening for us Bounty hunters, bro. Scam projects are hard to predict for Bounty Hunters. But you must be more careful about that, you should find out on the Project Website. You can search there. If there is no website, it means that the project must be suspected.
-
If you don't want to get a Bounty Campaign that is Scam on the project. So first you must first examine the project, browse the project website, work team, project objectives and many investors. From there you will be able to make the right decision in taking the Bounty campaign.
-
You have to know your ICO well first, study their projects, roadmaps or bounty manager. then you decide whether its legit or not or you wanna participate on them or not.
-
The most important thing is be careful. be careful in choosing Bounty Project, Re-examine Bounty Campaign that you want to follow, Number of existing investors, Website of the project and so on. That is the most important thing before you take a Bounty campaign so you don't get fraudulent.
-
You will know if it is a scam or not just by the way the team acts. If they are not very active and looks suspicious then quit or dont join that bounty. To be on the safe side, at least join a lot of bounties and I am sure one of them or maybe more is legit.
-
If you get a Bounty Project that is always Scam and often cheated, then you are not careful and inaccurate in choosing the Bounty Campaign. Research the team, the incoming investor, the website, and so on that you consider important. This is a lesson for you to be careful about choosing a Project.

May i know what's the best thing to do in order avoid from being scammed?
The thought of carrying a signature for 8 to 12 weeks and satisfying the posting minimums which sometimes are high, and than getting nothing for it, is a scary thought. But I still don't think it's a waste of time, even if it didn't suceed, at least a person tried, and had a chance.
-
There are members in any coin currency are facing this huge problem named scam. The only way to avoid being scam in any bounty and signature campaign is to research their company if that is legit or not and read their spreadsheet, and do not hesitate to ask those trusted friends or ask the team leaders of altscoins talks.
-
Be diligent and put some goals with limitations to avoid the unnecessary along your way to succeed. We cannot stop scam but we can prevent ourselves not to be a victim through our own diligence and proper understanding towards campaigns, ICOs and team.
-
If you are still excited and not desperate to join the Bounty Campaign, you should continue to hunt down the Bounty. But on condition that you have to be careful by researching and first projecting that you will rush Boutny. Starting from the Team, Teamwork, and so on. So you can decide whether to take the bounty campaign or not.
-
every bounty campaign have a risk. you should check that project correctly. team, whitepaper, what project bring to us. you should check it all before you want invest on project. but not all bounty scam, i think bounty project something works.
-
Everything is not easy so don't think it is easy to earn money. Don't be aggressive to the point everything seems right. Treat this forum with patient and care in order to be a little bit diligent.
-
I came across a few scam bounty campaigns. It is necessary to pay attention when entering the campaigns. I think the team, website, ico points should be examined in detail.
-
To avoid fraud in the bounty campaign you should not follow it again. If you have money, you should play trading or invest in coins in the Crypto World. Instead of being fooled by the bounty campaign and harming and spending your time, it's better to trade and invest, bro.

Even today we can't still really sure that the campaign we are participating will pay our efforts because some projects are still waiting for the outcomes of token sale.
-
Always join bounty campaigns handle by a trusted manager
Always do your research about the token you are doing bounty for
Make sure you check there ico rating if the coin has a good how and
-
Just check the project bacground especialy team ussualy if that scam they will try to hide their identity or put other people photo or identity there in their website
-
The trick is to be careful and research the Project that you want to follow the Bounty Campaign. Chances are when you choose a project, you just choose it carelessly which is important, which causes you to always get the Scam. So the method is meticulous, Check the Project Team first, Check Teamwork, Investors who are interested, If there is a Website also checked and others. from there you can make a decision to choose whether or not a project exists.
-
Actually, things like that can be handled wisely to avoid Scams that are in ICO or Airdrop. Be careful and always be vigilant and carefully first the Bounty Project that you want to follow. You can check the Website, the Project Team and others. From there you can make the right decision that you can use as a reference to become a member of the Bounty Airdrop.
-
I also want to know how to avoid scam bounty projects. I always get that. very detrimental in terms of my time.
-
Yes, this is what most of the campaigns looks like today and many people now are afraid to participate and invest in ICO projects because it's really hard to identify a legitimate projects.
-
I would recommend just not worrying too much about whether or not something is a scam. Doing as many bounties as possible will assure that you at least get something from some of them.

There's no real way to know for sure if something is a scam or not unfortunately. Just do what works best for you though, good luck man.
Still, primary checkup can be done by checking the rating of the project on various websites and checking out the reviews of bounty manager.
-
To avoid being scammed, you need to do a diligent research about the background of the team. Most of them use fake profile when the project is a scam.
-
I've also experienced some scams that are bounty but not all bounty is a scam do not let us lose hope that eventually
-
May i know what's the best thing to do in order avoid from being scammed?
Sadly, its so hard to determined a scam project or not. Sometimes I'll just wishing me the luck of success ;D and the acceptance of myself that im just a bounty hunter, if i get scammed its okay, theres so much time left :)
-
May i know what's the best thing to do in order avoid from being scammed?
I think it's important for you to first copy or view your campaign to find out whether or not you are scam but for me you will not know a scam or you should not first join to find out a company's trust
-
May i know what's the best thing to do in order avoid from being scammed?
for me not all campaigns are scams. Since other campaigns have been paying a lot of wages or token because the process of getting tokens is great before distributing it to its participants
-
Truly bounty campaign not always scam, but their project is failed to reach softcap and investor money have been refunded, so bounty hunter got nothing
-
indeed it is difficult to know what the project is a scam, at least we join a lot of bunty, of course some of those who are paid are not paid as voluntary. spirit
-
We cannot judge whether the bounty is scam whether it is before the program is finished. Because everything seems convincing at the beginning of the bounty was introduced. I have participated in a scam bounty after I finished, even though the sales reached the target of a soft stamp and there were also those who achieved a hard cap but until now they have not been paid for all. So always follow the latest news from the telegram group that we follow. So that we know the information and the development of the bounty of the ICO that we follow
-
I think not all bounty campaigns have been scammed as it is necessary to do a good review of the bounty program
-
if you want to get a ranking upgrade in the forum. On the other hand, not only posting, but also comments on forums that can make you get increased rankings and points in the forum.
-
lt also happened to me,only think you can do is to learn from experience ,do a good research before to join on the bounty to avoid this situation ,to be scamed again.
-
Probably there are lots of scammers joined in the bounty campaign but mostly they wanna used it into a final giving of token which is be paying by the ICO members.
-
Actually you have to learn first how to choose a project for a good campaign and not a scam, so you can avoid the scam project. You must research it before you follow the Bounty Campaign, See incoming investors, research the project team first and team work in the project. From there, there will be a clue whether the project is a scam or not.
-
Choose bounty with reached softcap. This approach decreases the number of scams significantly. More info here: https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=63698.0

-
fraudulent people make this way to make easy money, but I can not scream in a week to evaluate the project, bounty do not continue. You can also check from alternative sites. We must not help these dishonest people. Our ability to reciprocate certain people as a matter of money. I hope everyone will be sensitive.
-
You should always first analyze the project.
continue to do. Do a lot of projects. Not everyone will be successful - for various reasons, including a scam.
But with a good analysis - let half go on the market, this is a good result.
-
There are some bounties I follow the scam. But that does not make me pessimistic and stop following the bounty. Because many other ICO projects are still successful. So not all bounty is a scam. Follow some bounty at once so there is something to expect from others if there is one that is a scam.
-
You must examine it before you join the Bounty Campaign, See incoming investors, research the first project team and team work on the project. From there, there will be a clue whether the project is a scam or not.
-
We really cannot tell whether a bounty campaign is a scam or legit. For me, the best thing to do to avoid being scammed is to check the ico's whitepaper and its roadmap. Also, we should check the admin team and the manager managing the bounty campaigns. If they are consistent and approachable in the telegram chat, there would be a high possibility that these campaigns are not scam.
-
not all bounties are scams. Follow the bounty at once so that there is something that is expected from others if there is a scam. There are several gifts that I follow scam. But that doesn't make me pessimistic and stop following the gift. Because many other ICO projects are still successful.
-
To avoid being scammed in bounty campaigns, I advice you only join campaigns hosted by trusted or reputable bounty managers, most campaigns managed by the project team turns out to be bad in the long run because they are always reluctant to distribute.
-
i experience scam in my first bounty campaign which i join it's hurting my feelings,even though i do my best to avoid scam,but we can't tell this campaign is legit so we must analyze and examine the ICO'S white papers and road map
-
A lot of bounties lately have been scam. Trying to put some energy to the work and found out it all a scam. The feelings is terrible and I think we should try and check good bounties in the forum.
-
This is no longer a news. It is so rampant that after working with some much time and energy you get scammed over bounties. I really want this forum to sanitalize this project. So we bounty hunters don't work in vain.
-
Here it seems to me very hard to predict which project will turn out to be a fraud, you may not even be paid if the project does not collect the required amount and closes. It is better to take more companies, and take exactly those that in your opinion can really be realized.
-
It's hard to know this is a scam project, except you spend more time to find out the project which you join in, check this project in some ICO View or ICO bend, in the forum you can ask everyone about this.
i think spend more time to know this is a good project that we can join in, invest and work for it, than we just join and lose much time and we can not recieve anything in this.
-
I don't know how you did got scammed, but I think you should make more enquiries before joining any bounty
-
also got into fraudulent projects. it's a shame that the tasks for generosity were difficult and spent a lot of time
-
For the meantime all campaign in altcoins is too hard to determined etheir it will be scammed or good payer but hoping I cannot joined like this .
-
There are so many ways a scam may occur. Thank you all for the brief explanation, but how do we all solve this?
I really need an answer to this question
-
It is necessary to change passwords from wallets more often and not to trust those who promise mountains of gold
-
May i know what's the best thing to do in order avoid from being scammed?
Participate in genuine bounty campaigns. MobileGo is going to conduct the second airdrop in December where anyone can get MGO for free. They had one in November. As far as I know quite successful. ::)
-
May i know what's the best thing to do in order avoid from being scammed?
I would say that go for projects that are very transparent and its team are very active on public events and blockchain conferences.

I júst add in one more stragety that I've been using untill now is to check their soft cap is reached or not, by this way, you can make sure that they have enough fund to pay for the bounty program or not
-
There are numerous meanings of "trick" here, and shockingly, regardless of what you do, not every one of them can be maintained a strategic distance from... here are a few things to recollect however..
- on the grounds that you haven't gotten paid yet, doesn't mean you won't be... what's more, regardless of whether you aren't paid its not really the abundance director's blame.. they're much the same as you doing efforts to get paid and now and again regardless of how impeccable of a battle they run, the individual appropriating the assets on the ICO's end perhaps inept or endeavoring to save money on payouts with ludicrous reasons...
- A few things regardless of how encouraging just won't do well.. they'll have fumble of cash, don't realize how to make publicity, didn't set aside some cash for posting on trades, and so forth.
- Utility tokens in a down market have no genuine esteem.. The greater part of these tokens require true use case, so with regards to a less theoretical bear advertise, the cost can be extremely unstable, its triple-y so for new ICO ventures since everybody searches for the "when binance" pnd, or dumps it seven days subsequent to getting tokens since "something is superior to nothing" in a bear showcase..
- Some are simply absolute tricks.. 1 out of 5-7 are likely going to be a trick and there's very little you can do about it... on the off chance that you are stressed over tricks take a gander at the whitepaper and take a gander at the group's LinkedIn data and other dead giveaways. Search for clear signs like enormous pieces of hard top objective get purchased by "private speculators", and so forth. Likewise simply focus on how individuals cooperate on wire.. typically fishy individuals can be very clear whether you simply tune in to how they talk.
-
Just made a simple investigation yourself you can look at social media like twitter profiles if they have real photos like on conference much better a video seeing the CEO or member of the team. Look for bounty allocation and estimate your earnings base on the allocation, if the number of participant is huge and just a little allocation even though it is legit most likely you will get just like $1 for 3 or more months of bounty which is disappointing That's what I'm doing to minimize to be scammed.
-
May i know what's the best thing to do in order avoid from being scammed?
i think we can't , predict about future project.
but we can check at ico rating, i suggest to choose ico with high rating.
good review will make this project safety and being scam/dead project.
-
The simple reason for this is that we join projects randomly. IF we do proper research and join only ones which got credibility then it will work fine for us. However, IF we continue to join random projects, then we will continue to face major issues.
I suggest looking at the Cryptocurrency charts (https://cryptolinks.com/cryptocurrency-trade-chat), and select top rising options, and see IF they offer benefits. It’s only sensible to track those down and join them. I will NEVER want to join raw one which leaves one nowhere.
-
I think spending more time knowing this is a good project that we can join, invest and work for, rather than just joining and losing a lot of time and we cannot accept anything in this matter.
-
Choosing a good and reliable bounty manager isone of the best factor to look out for. The best way to stay out of scam is look for a bounty campaigns with high Community influence and activities
-
In my opinion, spending more time knowing this is a good project that we can join, invest and work for, rather than we just join and lose a lot of time and we cannot accept anything in this matter.
-
i think find out the bounty campain carefully is the only way avoid to scam in bounty campain, So you can prevent risky by this way
-
If you want not to be scammed - you want: check at ico rating, answer some questions about project in Telegram Projects Chat, in scam project admins usually dont know about distribution bounty and airdrop, they didnt know about what cryptoexchange they want to be list in first etc. ;)
-
Yes guys now a days maximum airdrops campaign and bounty campaign are scams and they never pay payments. So I can't join any bounty campaign.
-
5 out of every 20 bounty you participate will turn out to be scam. currently. many projects disappear not because of the owners but sometimes if softcap is not reach, the possibility of the owners disappearing is eminent.
-
Scam is the biggest deal of crypto world.
This because there are no rules.
Sometimes you can check team members' feedback to know more about and understand potential scam.
-
More and more bounty program have to delayed their roadmap because of the dump of the market and as I see at the moment, none have paid their token for their bounty program
-
Sometimes the project is legit but once it struck by strong circumstances that unforseen and unpredictable by the team, possible result will be paused or immediately stop the ICO to prevent massive losses that can make the team end into bankruptcy. There are more sides to considered because scam is the unwanted experience by everyone. To prevent scam totally could make you worried at all times but you can minimized the chances to get into scam projects.
-
I just started to do bounty sunce 2018 Nov and now still not get anything for what I have done. More and more projects are delayed their roadmap now
-
May i know what's the best thing to do in order avoid from being scammed?
I want to tell you one of the best and working option how to avoid scams. If you like any project and you want to support it in your social networks, advertise it and make it important to know everything about this project. Before work I sit down at my laptop and start reading everything about the project, join a group of telegrams, communicate with managers. If the project content and beautiful site is a big plus, the availability of all documents and registration of the project should also be checked. The project team should be real and not fictional, this is very important. It is easy to check the participants of the project, find and read their pages on social networks. In General, there is nothing complicated. But with all this, if all the information is positive it will not mean 100% that the project will work. That's another story...
-
Very simple. you can not be scammed in a bounty but you time could be wasted. you data used in reporting your work could be wasted too. only if you invest in the project. then you can count yourself to blame using your hard earn money. every project is all about luck.
